Snuggles, Birthday Surprises, and Fish!

I had every intention on blogging yesterday about my sister and brothers birthday on Wednesday and then work happened and it kept happening all day yesterday.....sometimes I really wish I could blog about work because yesterday was a brain killer!  By the time I had time to blog, I was too tired to do so and thought, "Ill just make Friday's blog that much better".  

First, I'd like to wish everyone a HAPPY FRIDAY!!!  If you have a work like me, you are chomping at the bit to get Friday over with and then enjoy a 3 day weekend ahead of you!  :) So let's get to one of my favorite link ups:

Sunday morning Smokey decided that he wanted to snuggle on the couch for a bit.  I snapped this photo of us cause I love him so!  He normally won't snuggle like this on the couch, it normally on my legs, but he was extra cuddly Sunday morning and I loved it!!

Wednesday marked my sister Jena and brother Joe's 15th Birthday!  I went over to watch them open their birthday presents and gave them their presents from Andy and me.  It was pulling teeth to get a photo of them together, but we got one!

If you don't know me by now, you will know that I am a master "Googler".  No seriously, I am.  I Google everything!  My sister really, really, really wanted Fall Out Boy tickets to their concert this summer.  I googled and found out that the tickets go on pre-sale on Monday the 13th and on sale to everyone else Friday the 17th.  Monday morning I kept googling the pass code to get these tickets at the pre-sale time and finally after hours of searching and signing up my email address for Paramore emails.....I got the pass code and purchased tickets!  My mom and I decided to surprise her on her birthday with the tickets.  It was seriously the best surprise ever!!  She was SHOCKED!  Thank goodness I got video of her reaction because it was priceless.

  This video says it all with her reaction!  I LOVE IT!  Jena isn't much for showing emotion but this took the cake in emotion for her!   I've probably watched this video 10 times and I still love her reaction every time!

Something I forgot to share with you all is that we have new pets in our household....fish!  We had fish once before when we lived in our apartment and Smokey had been around them for 3 months before we moved.  Once the basement was finished, I told Andy he could set his tank up again.  I rolled a chair up to the fish tank and sat Smokey on my lap and he was enthralled with the fish!  LOVED IT!  He would try to catch the fish by putting his paw up on the glass.  I thought this was an awful cute photo of my Smokey looking for an evening snack.  hahaha!
