Happy middle of the week. I came in to the office this morning to greet the little goldendoodle puppy (photos below) and got a little puppy therapy. My own goldendoodle is now about 50 pounds, and a bit more active (especially when I walk in the door after work), but still very cute.
It has been a bit quieter today in terms of meetings, but that has allowed me to catch up with emails, phone calls and some writing I have been trying to do. It was a little bittersweet today to have my last Provo City meeting with our planning supervisor and sustainability guru Robert Mills. Robert is leaving the City to become the community development director in Payson. He will be missed in Provo for sure, but like other former city employees, he will take the "Provo Way" to his new city and do great things there!
