Picking up where we left off in February ... Jen was finally getting over her sickness (Covid, then maybe strep?) and Landon was at a work road trip to Reno. March was memorable because of the MOVE ... Keaton found an apartment and is going to try this "adulting" thing living on his own. That lead to some changes back at the Blackham house too, and Landon had some moving on as well. There were a couple getaways, book club, continued car concerns and some basketball (is there ever NOT basketball?) Read on for more details ...
- Keaton's Corner: Keaton's been thinking about getting his own place for a while. He didn't really want a roommate (he likes things how he likes them) and found a cute basement apartment that fit the bill. It's close by, about 10min away in South Jordan, just East of the Oquirrh Mountain temple. Upstairs it's three guys (two brothers and a friend) and the basement apartment is new. Coming from home, Keaton didn't have a lot of house stuff (we joked he needed a house "shower") and we spent a Saturday shopping for some furniture (recliner/loveseat) and kitchen supplies.
- Here at Home: With Keaton's room now unoccupied, the bed from the master was moved into it and Gray and Jen went shopping for a new bed (it had been many years with the existing mattress). New bed set, headboard and new curtains, and now there needs to be more updates to match the color scheme (of Gray/Black, what else) such as new nightstands, paint, flooring... since Jen's sickness in February, there has been snoring; so the backup bed is actually getting some use for the sake of sleep.
- Landon's Life: Landon finally submitted a photo of his office setup at work ... very nice! He had some moving to do as the house sold. He helped Sol and Rosa move (Rosa had kept her old place) and the divorce was finalized. Landon has been on a low-fat/keto plan, and won a weight-loss challenge at his work (30 pounds!)
- Cal & Kate continue to work and have fun. Kate sent some pictures of their activities, including climbing and TopGolf. They cut down the big old tree in their backyard. Cal's knee finally got better, and he's back to work, and basketball.
- Car Concerns: Keaton's car has been giving him some trouble, with the electrical suddenly going out. We had it in to a couple places and got the battery replaced, and hopefully that will be the needed fix. While it was out of commission, Keaton borrowed either the Tesla or Durango. The Tesla got a nail in the tire. Again. I think we've had to replace all four tires in the year that we've had the car. We got an estimate on replacing the spoiler on the Charger ...
- Coop went bowling with cousins/Olivia over Spring Break, and he and Jen are back to playing ping pong. With Keaton moved out, Cooper is picking up the slack on some of the odd jobs around the house, emptying the dishwasher and taking out the trash. When Coop started to put away some dishes that were dirty, we got one of those clean/dirty magnets to keep track.
- Colton has been super busy. He had a weekend leadership camp (the school chose one guy and one girl to attend), a tournament with his Wolves basketball team, and several training sessions with Coach Sawyer, Coach Scott and his new Metro team. He went on a Spring Break trip to Vegas with a couple of families... one of them his girlfriend's family. Yes, Colton has a girlfriend. He did a write up HERE.
- Gray's Getaway: Gray and Keaton took the RZR down to Sand Hollow for a weekend, leaving West Jordan in a snow storm to head for sunnier skies.
- Jen has stayed busy with books, baking and the usual exercise/activities. February bookclub had been pushed to March because of the big snowstorm, so there were two meetings in March. Jen loves books, and got through 22 stories this month. Still making sourdough, and she added a new long baker and has loved the results. Zumba-ing every Mon/Wed and most Fridays, with ladies pickleball on Thursday mornings. Treadmill and elliptical in the home gym.
Here's a look at March one-second style ...
