I just celebrated my 3 year anniversary to the mechanic. Four years ago I was content and single and one son shy of an empty nest. I never considered getting remarried. And wham, life hits me with Nick.
Nick likes to say that I am his best eBay score ever. We met when he bought a dvd from my eBay store. I included a little note thanking him and letting him know he was my first Alaskan customer. He thought the note was adorable and emailed me. I thought he was adorable and emailed him back. Nine months later we were married.
Life has been on overflow ever since. So many events in such a short period. We had a beautiful baby girl and lost another baby to a miscarriage. My mom, two uncles and my dog passed away. My oldest son graduated from college and my youngest son chased a pretty girl to Salt Lake City. A grand-baby has been born to my middle son. Through it all, the mechanic has held my hand and held me up. As well as, kept my car running in tip top condition.
Lovin' life (and the mechanic) in Alaska!
PS - Music wise, here are some of the mechanic's favorite CDs, available for sale in our store!
This is my post about why I love having a stay-at-home dad why it works so well for us. I know that many people cannot understand why I, as the mother would choose to go to work. There is many reasons and here are a few of my favorites.
Having a house-husband is the best. When something breaks down, he's there to fix it. Many a morning I've left to go to work with say a dripping faucet and I come home and Voila! it's fixed. Ditto for the stove and septic system. It's a bonus that he's a wonderful cook, cleans up after himself and when pesky telephone salesmen call, he actually has some fun with them.
Our baby is daddy's little girl. They are building such a strong bond and relationship that will carry them through life.
Financially it make sense. I have a decent job only 4 miles from our home as an office manager. Nick, my husband, is self employed and works out of our home. He mechanics, welds and for the most part runs our store. He is our in house repair tech, so if you buy one of our iPods, cameras or any gizmo he has probably refurbished it. Most of our iPods come with new batteries, he likes to run diagnostics on the hard drive to make sure it's up to snuff. He loves to talk on the phone to our customers about any questions they have and offers a 90 day labor warranty on all our electronics. It's so nice that he is at home to do all this. So don't hesitate to buy from us if you are worried about the used condition. We'll go out of our way to make sure you'll get a good deal. Shop at our store: akmusicstorm
