We had gone to the home and garden show the weekend before and I had entered my name in a few draws so on Tuesday I got a call that I had won a family photo session. Unfortunately all my family is 3000 km away so I asked if I could bring my boyfriend and dogs instead so we changed it to a couple session for Friday night. We had a lot of fun. We couldn't see the pictures until Saturday afternoon though. So Nice Guy slept over on Friday night and we just hung out and caught up on PVR tv shows that we had missed.
Saturday morning we woke up and went to pick up baby ducks! They are so cute! Nice Guy got me two runner ducks that I named after my sisters and he got 6 Cayuga ducks. They are going to live at his farm. Ducks are the happiest farm animal. I didn't take any pictures though, so I'll have to do that and post them next time. After we brought them back to the farm and set them up with their heat lamp, food and water, we came back into town and stopped by the pet store that was hosting adoptable dogs. We have two now but I had seen their pictures online and they looked so sweet. Nice Guy is encouraging me to adopt one but I don't think that's the most responsible thing to do at the minute since I'm travelling a lot for work and would require someone to take care of it and my regular dog for me. They were nice dogs though...
Then we ate at YoYo's, where I got a strawberry banana nutella crepe and my stomach experienced euphoria. It was so delicious I nearly cried. When I dream of food this will be on a pedestal. I took a photo when it was half eaten so it probably doesn't look as good as it actually was. But just trust me on this one....
Finally we get to see the pictures! There was a picture of us doing leap frog that I liked the idea for but needed a better expression on my face. We tried to do a photo of me flipping up on his back but I look scared and I was wearing jeans and although my legs look long, the pants just made them look funny. There was a few with me on piggy back too. But I liked the photos with the dogs in them the best. I ended up getting this long photo that has us lying on our stomachs and the dogs on either side, we all look very happy. It's not a normal photo though, they custom frame and put some sort of protectant on it and stuff so I can't actually pick it up for 6 weeks. They also didn't let me how much it would cost before we did the shoot, but at least the photography session was free. Plus I think it'll look really good on my wall.
Then we picked up the dogs and some clothes for me and drove out to see a house/acreage (the one we fought about on Wednesday). It ended up being way too far and the land was flooded on a dry year so neither one of us liked it. So we went back to his place and I did some painting and he worked on a shed and then we built a campfire and had hotdogs and potatoes. It was an awesome night, nice and warm and no bugs!
Sunday we went to church and saw his family but we came back in the early afternoon because I wanted to keep working on the painting I was making for his brother. And I got it done! I don't think I'm totally happy with the head, I may go back and make it a little darker. I decided to leave it for a few days and come back and see if I was honestly happy with it. If not I'll make some changes and then wait again. When I am content with it I'll spray it with some protector stuff and then give it to him.
Overall I had an awesome weekend. It was so nice not to have to be committed to do anything. I should try to do this more often.
