time off

i had no idea how much i took for granted normalcy and a  regular schedule. i had no idea how much of the world operates not on the norm. we have crossed over into not in the norm this last year. i am really committed to not whining or complaining so much i gave it up for lent as silly as it sounds. I am seeking to choose life, joy & gratefulness. although a month of waiting for a day off together can be challenging. i find it makes me all the more grateful for the time we do get to be together. so after a month of waiting taylor took a personal day and said lets do something, i think movie, dinner, shopping he thinks adventure.
we loaded the car down with who knows what and headed to CO springs. I really like the springs, the size and feel of it is similar to knoxville except pikes peak.

we went and shopped around in a little town outside of pikes peak called Manatou, where the north pole an amusement park lives , sadly it was closed
