Birthday Surprise!

I went on a road trip last weekend... Drove home Sunday afternoon and right to a youth small group meeting. Typical fun times. And the conversation turned to pet names. "If you had a cat, what would you name it?" There were a few Chuck Norris jokes. And in the course of the conversation, apparently I said to the youth (in a slightly alarmed voice), "You didn't get me a cat, did you???" They said, "NO." And it was the truth... just barely... :) I came home to this sign on my door.

And a couple roomies smiling like crazy.
And this little furry face staring at me!

After I stopped squealing with joy and AWWWWWing over the cuteness of this little kitten, the roomies handed me a card. It turns out --- my wonderful sis planned the whole thing! She knew... that I wanted another pet, that I didn't have time for a dog, that I wanted long-haired kittens, that I was concerned about affording its shots, etc.... And she thought of everything!! She found this sweet little long-haired kitten.

And alot of my friends & family contributed to the cause. And knew about the surprise. There was even one friend on the PHONE listening to my reaction.. hahaha.

I have spent the last few days playing with, talking to and cuddling with my sweet little kitten.... * big smiles* And I named him, Caspian! Because I like Narnian names. :) And he's my prince of a kitten!

It was the BEST birthday surprise ever!!
