Elizzabeth, my fabulous cousin came to visit us for a weekend which was fabulous! We hit Mulligan's (the bar I used to work at) for some Karaoke on Friday, which both Rick and Elizzabeth had a great time participating in. I hosted a Vino&Bubbly girls night at my house and Elizzabeth was kind enough to help me get ready for that!
We spent all of Saturday running errands and surprisingly had a great time! Elizzabeth was especially a HUGE help at the grocery store as going their is a little bit out of my comfort zone. We went out for a bit after Vino&Bubbly with a mutual friend of Elizzabeth and my brother Bryan, which also was a lot of fun. Sunday, my folks were kind enough to take us out to eat to get some yummy BBQ!
It was just an overall GREAT weekend! And I cannot wait for another visit!

Then, this past weekend was the CAA Tournament. My folks got us a hotel at the brand new Hilton downtown near the Coliseum for the weekend. It was a wonderful mini-vacation even though we were in town. Sunday evening, it felt as if we had really been away. It helped that VCU played so well and went on to win the CAA Championship on Monday night!

As for this week, we laid low. We focused a lot of our energy into trying to find the perfect puppy to add to our mini-rice family and yesterday evening got an email that we were approved for adoption!
We drove to Huddleston, Virgina (near Lynchburg) to meet a boxer-mix puppy and we fell in love! He is almost 4 months old and an absolute ball of energy! We LOVE him!
Meet Fletcher "Fletch" Shelton Rice...
This is on our ride home from Huddleston. He slept most of the way... talk about easy-peasy.
Already has a favorite toy AND loves his crate!
Fletch has found his favorite spot in our house outside of his crate. It is the space between the wall and the butcher block where all the cable wires hang out... weird I know but he leaves all the wires alone so we can't really complain!
We can't wait for everyone to meet our new addition!
We hope this finds everybody happy, healthy and staying dry!
Love,
your happy-to-finally-be-dog-owners richmond rices.
