Shawn's new job

Last week Shawn started a new job. No, his commute isn't any shorter. He now works in Heber instead of Park City. The company is a land development company. They're building a Jack Nichlaus golf course and homes. There will also be a pool, equestrian club, tennis courts, a spa, the works. Shawn has liked working there. He even got to meet Jack Nichlaus!!! And believe it or not, he has graduated to having his very own office.

Finally (and I do mean finally), we have bunk beds!!!

I think it was almost a year ago that we moved Anthony into Collin's room. Collin had a twin bed with a trundle so we figured it would work all right for Anthony to sleep on the trundle and then we could just push it in and out everyday. Easier said than done. I don't know about other trundles, but ours doesn't push in and out so easily. So for that entire time, it's just been left out, leaving only about a foot of space in between the beds and the dresser. The room was so crowded, and the boys couldn't really play in there.

Anyway, there was a salt lake online company that was having a 25% off sale on their bunk beds. The only catch was that I had to go out by the airport to pick them up. It was well worth it. Now the boys' room feels like a room again instead of a mattress storage facility. And we gave Collin's old (not really old, we've only had it for a year and a half) to Julia, which was always the plan.

Now both of their rooms look fabulous. Yea for bunk beds.

See all that floor space?

This bed looks much better in Julia's room

Girls, Breaking Dawn, and No Husbands

Last Friday was Fathers and Sons, so Shawn and Collin were gone. (He didn't take Anthony because he was helping with a lot of stuff, and well...for those of you familiar with Anthony, he's a full time job). Anyway, that was also the night that "Breaking Dawn" came out. I decided it would be fun (since our husbands were gone anyway) to have a girls night. We talked for a while before and let the kids play in the yard, then at about 11:20, we ran over to Smiths and stood in line until midnight when we bought the book. After that, it was read, read, read.

It was going to be a sleepover but then we found out that the men had been evacuated due to a fire (that never really was a threat). Shawn called at like 1:15am and said they were on their way home. Anyway, most people left around two, but a few people stayed longer. Me and my friend Kim finally gave up around 4:30. I haven't done that in a long time, but it was really fun.

The book was really good. Stephenie did a lot of great things, even some I wasn't expecting at all. I only had one complaint, which I won't share here because I don't want to spoil it for anyone (it's really pretty minor, just something I wish she would have added).

So, here's to reading, especially late at night.
