We should always find ways to celebrate the little things in life. What better day to celebrate these little things than the best day of the week? So, here are the things that make this a Fabulous Friday for me this week.

BLOG ANNIVERSARY – On January 25, 2009, I posted my first post to this website. I never make a big deal out of this date because I usually never remember. Still, it is unfathomable to me that this hobby of mine is still going strong all these years later. Crazy.

SOMEONE HAS A NEW JOB – Jim accepted a job offer yesterday, and he will start with the company after he returns from Australia. This job will require a lot of travel on his part, but we have done it before and we can do it again. I am excited for him and know that this is a great opportunity on his part.

PUPPY LOVE – Because we might be crazy, Jim thought that what the family needed to celebrate his new job and recover from the last few months of uncertainty with a new puppy! We have been batting around the idea of getting a new dog since Gretchen passed away two summers ago but have never been ready to pull the trigger for one reason or another. Apparently, Jim was finally ready and after much deliberation, he opted to rescue. So yesterday, he went and picked up a seven-week-old pit bull pup that he named Cletus*. Everybody say hi!

What makes this a Fabulous Friday for you?

*_{(About the name, my thinking when I named Tallulah was that I wanted a country name to go with a country dog and I REALLY wanted a pair so that I could use the name Cletus for the same reason. Jim felt that pit bulls were country dogs too and borrowed my name. So now I have my two country dogs and their country names.)}
