It's a First

Today is the legal holiday for Pioneer Day, the state holiday in Utah that rivals Independance Day in it's scope and explosivity. It is traditionally celebrated with a parade, fireworks, bar-be-que, and lots of family stuff.

For the first time since we have been married--and perhaps before that--Genius Golfer has the day off. (Which is why I am writing this at 6:35 PM.) He has never worked for a company that takes the day off before. Even now, this current "magic JUS" company is an international company, but reserved the right to take the Pioneer Day holiday off.

Nice.

As we speak, GG is texturing and painting the bathroom wall where the old mirror used to be, and just finished putting in the new baseboards. The sink/vanity top is scheduled to be in tomorrow and that will all but finish the project. We even picked up new towels and a rug at Costco tonight.

I guess I never really appreciated the holidays GG got before--because it was usually Christmas, and the 4th of July. Everything else, and sometimes even those, he was still "on-call" if emergencies came up. But today he even left his phone at home while we ran (again) to Home Depot.

I think I could get used to this.
