Second, one of the other key characters in my life is our absolutely adorable, extremely rambunctious chocolate lab...Daisy! Little Daisy is one of the very best birthday presents I've ever received. SB surprised me with her right before my birthday, right after he had convinced me that our jobs wouldn't allow us to fully care for a puppy (so typical....always surprising me!). Needless to say, I was thrilled beyond words, and can't believe that it took me this long to learn how magnificent it is to have a dog in my life. She's 2 now, and has more energy than I can believe!! Here's a pic from our Christmas with SB's family in GA....our mini family!!
