Pre-Birthday Surprise

So, I'm kinda seeing this guy, Josh.
Josh really went out of his way to make my birthday this year special. He had been going on for three weeks about how I was supposed to come to his house after I got off work on the 6th. When I showed up, he had cooked me dinner. How nice.
The real surprise was when he pulled three pounds of king crab out of the freezer--overnighted from Anchorage. I just about bawled! When I had calmed down enought to be coherent, he asked what I had thought my surprise was. Earlier in the week I had written down my guess on a pice of paper--Alaskan Amber. He said, "Oh, like this?" and pulled one out of the fridge! I was absolutely astounded. It was a terrific surprise. We both ate king crab until we were sick, bringing back very fond memories of Alaska, and commercial fishing.
I am so thankful that, even though I won't be able to make it to Juneau for a few more months, I had some of Alaska brought to me. What a wonderful birthday surprise!!!
