Our New House


We've nicknamed it "the castle". My mom came into town this weekend for a family reunion and we entertained ourselves by going to the Parade of Homes (for the non Utahns- builders show off their homes before they sell them and/or to try to sell them- but they're not just the typical homes as you can see- some are but most of them are unique in some way). The Castle, pictured above was actually even bigger than the picture shows it was hard to get the whole thing in. It had an indoor pool, workout room, dance studio, movie theatre room, guest suite, and the master suite was like bigger than my whole house practially, an actual suit of armor guared the entry way to the Master suite. The whole house had kind of like a modern castle feel and was amazing to see. We actually started off the visit by going to the Thanksgiving point gardens which I always love going to.

Random thought: I don't think I ever made a blog about this but last summer Ryan's company spent a whole day at Thanksgiving Point getting footage for their stock footage department. So, I got to be a "model" for a few hours, although I never got paid as promised so really that makes me more of free laborer. It was kinda cool being followed around by camera but also awkard cause I never know how to act or where to look and seem natural.







Thanks for coming to visit Mom, we had a fun time!
