An Amazingly Wonderful Birthday

Let's start at the beginning. On Thursday, Jimmy was at work and asked me to check his computer and see if it was still on. I went to the computer and opened it up and there was a note in it. The note went on to say that he had some errands to run after work and that he was going to be home late. Very late. He said not to worry about dinner for him or to wait up because he didn't know when he was going to be back. I was pretty exhausted so I ended up going to bed earlier than normal. Around 12:30ish he crawled into bed and went to bed. We really didn't talk because we both were pretty tired.

Friday I tried asking Jimmy where he went and he said he went to a party in Conshohocken. I knew that wasn't the truth, but I let it go. During the day on Friday he sent me a text message telling me to pack my bag with pajamas, an outfit for Sunday, my hiking boots, and swimming suite. I had no clue what we were doing or where we were going. Friday night we hung out at the house with my friend Katie, eating pizza, working on papers, and watching a movie. We also had about 12 tick or treaters.

Saturday morning we went for breakfast at Cracker Barrel. After breakfast Jimmy handed me a bandanna he had me pick out a month or so ago and told me to blind fold myself. He told me to sit back and take a nap. We drove and drove and drove. I had no clue where we were going. I just knew we were driving. After more driving, we finally got to where we were needed to stop. Jimmy took my hand and got me out of the car, and lo and behold we were at Jimmy's parents house. All his family was there and yelled surprise as I was taking my blindfold off. They had me sit down and gave me my presents. Jimmy then asked me if I was ready for his. He had me face outside, close my eyes, and put my hand out. In my lap, he put my birthday present:



Meet Tabber!! The newest addition to our family. She is a 9 week old West Highland Terrier. Jimmy had been planning all of this for almost a year. She is a little pistol. She currently weighs about 4 pounds and will get about 14. At Jimmy's mom and dad's she loved laying on the vent for some reason.
She loves playing with her tennis ball. You wouldn't think she could carry it, but she can, and when she does she shows off.
She is a really good eater, just like us and also loves to takes naps. She's really good at that too.



See I have been wanting a puppy forever!! But we couldn't have one at the apartment, or so I thought. Jimmy asked our landlord months ago if it was ok if he got me a little puppy for my birthday. And they said sure! So now we have Tabber. I absolutely love her! She is our little baby.
