Dear Diary Sunday...

This has been the best long weekend in a VERY long time.

Friday I took the day off of work and Dylan and I went to Swiss Days with my folks. It was more fun than either one of us imagined! Then my Daddy decided to take the "long way" home...which was going through Provo Canyon and stopping and then driving incredibly slow thorugh Lehi. We finally got home at about 4:30. After that, we were exhausted and just stayed home.

Saturday we went to some of our usual haunts and then had an impromptu gathering at our house and had pizza and watched a Chris Rock stand up video. It was wonderful to have everyone over, to relax, and be surrounded by great friends and even greater energy.

Today Dylan and I got a dog....yes, a dog. Her name is Helga Joe and she is a Shar Pei/Staffordshire Bull Terrier mix and she is just gorgeous. She is brindle and very large, but has so far been absolutely wonderful with the cats. Unfortunately our little terror Aleister has not appreciated Helga's good nature as of yet and has picked a couple of fights....both times with Helga doing everything she could so NOT to get into the fight. I am sure Al will come around in time.

Tomorrow we are going to breakfast with the folks and then going to the outlet malls in Park City. Just another day of relaxing and enjoying each other's company.
