It came.

My Cancer Care Package from my best BF. It came!

(You may or may not remember a rather cryptic post I wrote about this back in August. Those of you who are FB friends may have seen this little exchange back in the day, as well.)

It came in a protective cardboard box stamped "do not bend, pictures enclosed", straight from *Crossroads Books. (I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I have the best friends. Ever.)

And when I opened my little package, I pulled this out.

For Laurie. That's me!



And then I slit the tape and looked at what was inside the protective cover boards and....

I swoon.



Would you look at that? My very own pic of my boyfriend. That he signed, just for me, because I knew someone who had access to the man.

Honestly, as I live and breathe, I am going to frame this picture and put it in a place of prominence in my little abode.

One of the (very few) perks of having had the cancer? Nathan Fillion found out who I am. (This is just step one in a multi-level scheme that I've cooked up to make him love me. I'll keep you posted on how that works out.)

*I'd like to take a minute and give a shout out to my friend, James Owen, who made my own personal Make a Wish dream come true. (Mind you, what I'd asked for was to have dinner with Nathan. But he was on set for Castle - and frankly, I couldn't eat much at the time - so Jamie did what he could to get me something from the man.) Bless him for that. Truly, my friends rock. I'm the luckiest girl in the world!

You really are one of the luckiest girls in the world. :) This post made me break out into the biggest grin because I just love how things fall into place. Congratulations on your Cancer Care Package from Nathan!

Jamie is a miracle worker! I am so happy you now have an official picture of your boyfriend to sit and stare at all day long! :) Hope you're doing well.

Invitation to the shower will be in the mail at the end of this week so keep an eye out for that. I expect you to be there to keep my pregnant belly in stitches with laughter! Love ya!

Don't worry Laurie, I'm running Firefly over to Kimmie today so she can become familiar with your boyfriend . . . not like you want to become familiar with him, but just so she knows who he is and learns to love his humor as the rest of us do.

I'm really happy for you. :)

Kimmie,

I would NEVER go to Disneyland with Jack Bauer because something would happen and terrorists would seize Cinderella's castle, and Jack would have to detain someone in Haunted Mansion until they talked, and somehow a ride would almost blow up until Jack stopped it. Now really, do you want to ruin the happiest place on earth with a 24-Disney-centric Jack episode.
