Good ending. It didn't surprise me that Lindsay wanted to quit, and as I said last chapter, she'd be too high up in the air, so Justin shouldn't even have let her keep the job. Just take one more thing away from her. It's really dreadful that they could give up the kids for a higher standing in society. This just falls back to how Brian told her she stops everything at the first hurdle. (Or want in this case.)

And I'm really pissed about Lindsay never apologizing to Michael, Justin, and Brian. Self-rightous bitch.

So, even with no anti-characters, you still provided some angst to get the blood flowing.

I was kind of hoping we'd get to see Bradley and Elaine one more time, maybe Justin giving they a painting of the lodge.

I loved that they all climbed the mountain. I bet Drew wasn't exhausted. I'm just glad everybody made it up there. I never would have made it.

And Brian got to see his boys one more time up there, to show him one more of his dreams came true.

And let's not forget how wonderful Ethan was. I really didn't see him being hateful. He now doesn't have to hide himself from the world, so he can play in an orchestra.

Yay! Hunter got promoted. And Shelby is going to be able to learn more by being with Justin at all his shows.

Lindsay just will never learn. Can't she figure out both Brian and Justin don't want her involved in Justin's art and his shows?

That was sweet for Emmett and Ben to help out with the boys. Unless you've been a parent to twins ~ or have the babies ten months apart, and pregnant with the third ~ you're going to get exhausted. (yep, my life!) But that's what happens when you tell your husband no babies after you hit 25.

Great Birthdays! Lots of inspiration from everyone.

The girls' gifts were so sweet. It was a precious gift. However, long overdue. 

I could have kissed Kiki when she told Deb what the queens said from Woody's!

Okay... that conversation at the loft was enough to make my skin crawl. I mean, WHO has conversations like this?

Michael-sex just doesn't do it for me either.

I really think Michael and Bed need to have a sit-down and he describes what he did to all the other guys, because this sounds like miscommunication.

I thought it was what Justin wanted. What a lie! Justin told her point-blank that Brian was his future. How can she screw that up with Justin wanting his art?

I'm so very thrilled that Ted spoke up and told her that she was gone and didn't see what the rest of them did. Then Lindsay didn't even admit that she was wrong. or attempt to apologize.

Then thank God, Brian finally gave her some truths ~ and then she stil DIDN'T APLOGIZE! That woman makes me so angry. 

It took me about one and a half paragraphs to figure out Justin was the massage boy. I was thinking: WHAT THE HELL?!

The talks between Michael and Hunter and then Ben and Shelby needed to be had.

Now ~ how are they going to tell Mary? She's probably not afraid of Jen and Cynthia because she doesn't know them.

Either that, or Shelby's got to stand up to her. However, Dean seems to be of like-minded.

Maybe Brian and Justin should consider the loft as a wedding present. I know, extravagant, but it won't hurt them.

I've moved enough times to know that moving everything at one time is best. Just put any boxes that go to the kitchen in the kitchen, bedroom boxes in the correct bedroom. etc...

I think all the guys had better refer to the twins as Brent and Jamie... ala! B/J ~ If they don't want the wrath of Kinney on them.

Interesting view from Ben.

At least Mary could see how much love there is between Brian and Justin.

There was some insightfulness from both Lindsay and Melanie. If they keep going like this, things will mellow between them.

How are they going to tell Michael and Mary that Emmett's taking over the wedding?

What's with all these mundane conversations when Brian and Justin are going at it? I understand moaning, but the rest confuse me.

Michael made a really stupid bet with Ben. I hope he loves Tofu and anything else healty Ben decides on.

Hopefully, Mel is starting to get with he program.

I'm surprised Craig didn't totally embarrass all the guys. Happy about that. Also him telling Justin he loved him, just didn't approve. It's so much better than most stories.

Why do I feel dread and panicked about Michael wanting to plan a wedding? LOL

I hope Emmett has everything he needs on hand, so he's ready to jump in at the last minute. 

You can hear how much Gis loves Justin.

I think Shelby's art will start soaring from Justin's suggestions. Because even if it's abstract, he'll be able to make the focal point, Hunter.
