Cannon Beach & Happiness

Ahhhhhh. This is the good life.

We are at the Surfsand Resort at Cannon Beach - a sister property of the Stephanie Inn, where we got engaged and also got married. We got an incredible deal thanks to a little negotiating with a willing reservations agent :-) and we are staying for four nights - hurrah! Our room has a fireplace, a giant tub, a walk in shower, flat screen TVs, and a full bar with kitchen essentials like mini-fridge and microwave. When we arrived, they gave Tessa a sand bucket and signed her up for the kids club; they delivered her cookies at bedtime. When we got to our room, there was a pet package (yes, Shep is with us, as this hotel has some pet friendly rooms) and there was a dog bed, bowls, dog towels, etc. all waiting for us.

Right now, I hear the roar of the surf outside our door. We only get the beachfront room for one night, and the next few nights we get a view of the parking lot, but I don't care! We're at Cannon Beach and loving it.

We went on the beach tonight, and Shep ran and raced in circles, and we all joined him. Ahhhhh.

And we're celebrating, too, because we got the information about the benefits package, and it looks great....including four weeks of vacation plus sick time plus holidays. This is just what we'd hoped for! We still don't have the formal offer because it's going through the signature process but everything is moving ahead smoothly, albeit slowly, and the recruiter isn't at all concerned so we're not, either. Instead, we're enjoying beach time.

We'll post more information about the company etc when we've signed the offer, but we're excited. And we can't wait to have Sue & Phil over to celebrate, as Phil helped Ryan to find this opportunity.

Signing out - off to relax. See you later!
