Weekend recap

Friday night my sister and her fiance had to put their dog Spike down. He was 12 and lived a long and very happy life - he couldn't have had two better parents in the whole world. Miche and Jimmy loved him so much and Spike knew how much he was loved. So Friday night Matt and I watched a movie and had a very low key night.

Saturday morning was spent at Fiori's Bridal looking at bridesmaids dresses with Miche, Des and Danielle. Danielle looks great in everything and there were a lot of cute dresses to choose from.

Saturday afternoon Miche, Cadi and I hung out while Matt, Ross and Jimmy went to the movies to take Jimmy's mind off of things for a couple hours. Saturday night we went out to dinner with Jimmy, Miche, Ross and Lindsey to celebrate Spike's life. There were many stories shared about Spikers and what an amazing dog he was. Since my mom was watching Acadia overnight, Matt and I decided to see Gran Torino after dinner - awesome movie!!

Today Matt and I got to sleep in for the first time in a looong while then I met Miche and mom for lunch and we went to a bridal show at the Sheraton. Right now Matt is at Costco and Acadia and I are relaxing - reading, learning new sign language and playing with her dolls.

Why do the weekends fly by so quickly?!
