Quoth the raven, "Okay, I suppose I'll finally join you!"

That's right boys and girls, this VERY happy hunter has FINALLY gotten the mount of her dreams - the one, the only, the most magnificent mount to ever grace us with its feathery goodness, ANZU!!! I am beyond happy. I "Eeee!"d; I ran into the living room to ramble off giddy nonsense to my husband before clapping and prancing back down the hallway; I rattled off mindless chitter in gchat. After so many runs (and losing count because I didn't always kill Ikiss so it wasn't completely trackable), this baby is finally mine! AMG! He is my absolute favorite mount in the game, so I am just beside myself!!!
So the story goes: tonight I logged onto my hunter and immediately queued for a HH run. And of course, no mount. I /sighed, knowing this goofy horse will not drop for me before the event is over. I then proceeded to Shattrath in the hopes that I might finally get the one cooking daily that has eluded me for several weeks: Manalicious. Lo and behold, I finally got the daily! In better spirits, I summoned Sheldon and we made our way to Sethekk Halls. It was an uneventful run, as always. We made our way to Anzu, who stood proudly and defiantly in the center of the room, black-blue feathers softly aglow in the ambient light. Sheldon fought bravely, and we finally fell the great bird. But this time, I didn't loot him before his body had a chance to touch the floor. This time, for some reason, I looked into his eyes as he died. I hesitated, fearful that this would be yet another fruitless run. I clicked his broken body, and saw something that gave me hope - the arrow at the bottom of the loot window. My cursor hovered over it for a moment before I finally gathered my composure and clicked it. And there, at the top of the next loot page, stood my prize - my beloved [Reins of the Raven Lord]. I stood, stunned, just staring at the loot. And then, excitement overwhelmed me and I began my inane ramblings to my guildmates and husband. My work has finally paid off, and I can forever lay this place to rest. I offered a prayer and humble thanks to Anzu before turning and leaving, ne'er to return again. :3
Too excited to shrink these pics down, so my apologies:
