Since we redecorated our bedroom, the sun comes streaming in through our shear (but gorgeous!) curtains every morning. And even at night I can see light coming in through the window...I like pitch darkness when I sleep. During the week, it's no problem because I'm up before the sun anyway. On the weekends, it's a problem. Any one who knows me will tell you how much I love my sleep! So, I've been lobbying for blackout shades for a few weeks. Josh must have been in a really good mood 2 weeks ago, because he agreed without any discussion at all. Hooray! So, they came this last week, and we installed them on Friday.
So, Friday night Josh was already in bed when I climbed in and switched of the lamp on my night stand. Josh said, "Whoa. It's really dark in here!" So dark that we couldn't even see our hands in front of our faces. Even when our eyes got adjusted, we still couldn't see our hands. I love it! Total darkness until the time that I saw fit to raise the shade at 9:30 on Saturday morning. I slept like I had been drugged. That might just be the best money we've spent so far on the remodel! :)

Matthew and I were *just* talking about this the other day--that before we had kids, we would sleep in on Saturday mornings religiously. It was always really dark in the master bedroom of our old house, and we slept until 9:30 or 10:00 or even 11:00.
ENJOY IT!!!!!!!! It is awesome that you two are spending time together right now and soaking up all the sleep you want. :)
