This Friday Colton and I are headed to Colorado for a week! Yes, only Colton and me :( Korbyn will be staying here and will be staying with both memaw's and papaw's. I would absolutely love to take her, but we've never been ourselves and I don't even know what to expect so we're not going to be taking our 8 month old to find out. Colton's friend who he grew up with and now works with is getting married on Sunday. So a bunch of our friends are going up for the wedding and then a few of us are staying for a week of vacation. Our plan is to leave Friday at noon arrive sometime Saturday morning (it takes 16 hours) and then leave again on Thursday and be back on Friday. Sunday is the wedding and then Monday on we'll be riding trails and just relaxing and having a good time. I'm SO excited! I've never been to Colorado but I heard it's absolutely beautiful and I'm mainly looking forward to the weather. It's supposed to be 70's during the day and around 40's at night, so packing is kind of hard because I have to totally shift gears! I heard that the hardest part is coming back to 100 degree weather. I'm not looking forward to that but I know I'll be so ready to see Korbyn by then that it will be the LONGEST trip home ever. These past two weeks that I've spent with her have really let me get to know her better. I know that sounds crazy but it's like a completely different kid! She's not high maintenance at all...as long as you give her attention ;) Which is probably why I'm getting almost nothing accomplished at home! But I love every minute of it. I'll find myself just cuddling her and not wanting to do anything else but hold her. And I would love to be at home and raise my babies, and we could off of what Colton makes but we could never get any further, we'd be stuck where we are now and we want more for our family. I'm sure 20 years from now I'll look back and wish that I had stayed home, but right now what's important is providing the best we can for her. And when she gets older we want to take her on trips like this, but we won't ever be able to do that if we're a one income family. I think that's why I'm so excited about this new job and the counseling. I'll be doing what I love but I'll be working 8-3 everyday with school holidays and summers off to spend with my kids, that way I'll get the best of both worlds :)
