This past Monday, we celebrated a big birthday milestone for my sweet husband, Lem.

I had tried to plan him a party of some sort, but he refused. The social butterfly that he is, this was surprising!

However, we do have some dinner plans made with friends that will suffice and fill his social butterfly cup. :)

He called me from work Monday, on his birthday, and said he wanted to go try a restaurant in downtown Atlanta that evening. He had checked and was able to secure a reservation.

Thrilled to have a night out and away from the kitchen, I gleefully said, “YESSS!!!!”

Hello, friends! It is so nice to connect with you. I have missed human contact. Haha.

Just kidding, but not really.

We are full on puppy training over here. I know, I know. You are tired of the puppy talk but it is all I have right now. Bear with me. :)

I feel like a mom of a toddler. My days are filled with poop, pee, wiping up messes, and lack of sleep.

Clearly, I forgot about this stage of puppy parenting when we got our sweet Max three weeks ago.

I have to constantly tell myself…this too will pass! This will not last forever!
