I Finally Brought a Boy Home to Meet the Parents!

At the beginning of my college career, my parents decided to move. As they began transferring to their new house, I told my mom not to bother giving me a room - a guest room would be much more practical. I explained to her that soon I would be bringing a boy home to meet her and my father, so they would need a guest room for him to stay in. She laughed of course, but I am sure a big part of her thought I was right. I may have been slightly joking, but in fact meant what I said. 

Four years of college later I tell you - no boy was ever brought home (I am in no way disappointed or upset about that, by the way). Ironically last week by parents moved again - this time, I gave no plea for a guest room. 

..................

About a year ago I made up my mind. I NEEDED a boy in my life! A boy to keep me company, snuggle with me, and make me laugh. The boy I had in mind was slightly different than the "type" of boy most college girls are searching for. Similar though to most - my search became an obsession. I HAD to have him! I didn't even care one bit what he would look like, I just wanted one!  He didn't even need to be tall. In fact, I preferred he not even reach knee level. 

This past Sunday I had the joy of bringing home a boy to meet my parents for the very first time! His name is Copper (Inspired by one of my Disney favorites, Fox and the Hound)! 

Copper is a 12 weeks old and I love him so much already! We have literally spent every moment together! He snuggles up to me at night and I wake up with him by my side. He possibly is the cutest thing ever! Well... except for that one thing.... 

He much rather use the bathroom inside than outside. It is driving me INSANE! Any ideas how to fix this? 

Today me and Copper made our first visit to the vet. I was terrified... him, not so much! Surprisingly, it was a walk in the park...

And then we took a walk in the park (literally)! We walked down the pier at the harbor of hospitality, meeting many boaters along the way! We were having a blast - until I realized I dropped the car key somewhere! oops. I prayed that God help me walk directly to it, and He did! Not sure why I was so shocked He answered that prayer, but I was! 

After we found the key, we left the waterfront and currently Copper is very sweetly laying by my feet in Muddy Waters Coffee Shop (MY FAVORITE COFFEE EVER!) while I enjoy a mocha frappe and write this blog! The perfect date! ; ) 

And now... what you are all wondering.... 

Why did you get a puppy when you are moving to Africa?

GUESS WHAT?!?! 

Copper is going too!!! AHH! I am so excited! 

I still am hopeful that one day a "real" boy will come home to meet the parents... but that is all in Gods timing! For now, I am stoked to have brought home Copper! He is the best! 

He is all about some Kissing!
