Meet my new best friend, Lucy the Labradoodle. Lucy and I met and fell in love this past weekend when Cory and I headed to the valley to spend time with his mom and sister and celebrate his birthday. I had heard horror stories of Miss Lucy, but who couldn’t love a sweetheart like that?!? During our weekend we found time to relax, played (and was destroyed in my case) the family favorite card game Down You Go, watched the newest Bond movie, and just enjoyed each other’s company.  Plus, his mom made the most amazing birthday cake with this mocha coolwhip and toffee pieces frosting.  Can you say Ahhh-Mazzz-Ing!  Birthdays are meant to be spent with those you love, and it was great to spend his with his family.  From the first hello until we said goodbye, we had a phenomenal weekend and it was hard to say goodbye, especially to my doggie bff. But we’ll definitely play catch again soon.
