Wow- Something Really Great Happened Today!

[helmoz]

we really are happy people im definitely not letting him go, and even if i did, hes so devoted that i wouldnt be able to get rid of him even if i tried - not that i'd try anyway! he is too good to chuck just like that and i want to make sure i treat him really well, cos hes been treated like dirt by girls in the past

[Pashernate_Lover]

Aw! You look so happy! And at least he isn't camera shy . He looks adorable all dressed up, congrats!

[helmoz]

believe it or not, deano used to be very shy and extremely camera-shy! hes a really cheeky, bubbly, funny little rascal underneath and hes totally coming out of his shell now (as youve just seen), and it makes me incredibly happy and proud that hes getting more and more confident now. the shyness wasnt helped by the fact he suffers from nf1 (neurofibromatosis type 1), which he is still quite self-conscious about, but at least he isnt anywhere near as self-conscious as he used to be.

[Pashernate_Lover]

Eek! Poor fellow! He is lucky to have you to help him come out of that shell, it must be/have been a daunting transition for him. Don't you love love? Its the greatest.

I formally took possession of my new place yesterday evening and began moving stuff in this afternoon! I have all my kitchen things moved in along with most of the heavy things that I could manage to carry down two flights of stairs (the place is actually one story below where I'm moving out of ). The main heavy stuff will be done on Saturday with the help of my coworkers, and Sunday will be cat pick-up day (had to push it back a week).

[Pashernate_Lover]

I am so happy for you it is almost explicit! Yay! As soon as I have cash to spare, I claim your couch for a celebratory visit! Congrats, thats amazing!

I'm dreaming of a white Thanksgiving?

[Boxguy]

I bought -- well, leased -- my first new vehicle ever today. It's a light pickup (Nissan Frontier) with 4 wheel drive (a must for where I am) and decently loaded. After driving the same car for the past ten years until it couldn't be constantly driven any more (it coincidentally wouldn't start this morning for the second time in less than a week) this will be a huge but very positive change!

[Pashernate_Lover]

Yay! Go you! I have some very very good news, but I shall have to wait to share it until the time is right... keep your fingers crossed for me!

[Boxguy]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed - and can't wait to hear your wonderful news!

I am finally heading back to Hays tomorrow after staying in Wichita six days longer than I anticipated, albeit with a nice shiny new truck. I can't wait to see my cat after leaving him alone for two whole weeks. Fortunately my brother-in-law's aunt looked after him the whole time, so the main thing I have to worry about is undertaking the potentially large task of cleaning out a two week-old neglected litterbox.

[Boxguy]

So I hear that one of us has an extremely exciting announcement to make...

[Pashernate_Lover]

Yeah! I do! I am getting MARRIED! To my spectacular other half! And all of the old crew are invited This means you, Boxguy.
