Big City

It might be hard for me to express how great it is to go to the "big" city. I mean, you just have to experience living in the middle of nowhere to understand. There are common, every day phrases that just don't exist in our world.

"I'm going to run to the grocery store real fast"

"Let's go catch a movie"

"Could you pick up some milk on your way home?"

"Let's order pizza"

"I'll just grab some fast food on the way"

"Target is calling my name" (I couldn't hear Target if it was yelling my name)

So, anyway, you get the drift. Even fast food excites me. All that to say, Dannon and I got to escape to Colorado Springs for a few days before fall season started and it was glorious. We saw a movie in a real movie theatre, ate at Chicl-Fil-A, went shopping at TJ-Maxx (I almost fainted) and REI, and finished out our time with the Zoo.

I know, it doesn't sound that extraordinary. But you don't live in Lake City.

Is it weird that we went to the zoo without kids? Still pondering that one.

The look on this giraffe's face. Hilarious.

I have such a hot honey! 

I looked like this as a child. I'll find a pic to prove it. 

I forgot to mention that we stopped so Dannon could fish on the Arkansas River "for a little while". "Little while" is relative. I'm learning :).

And the fact of the matter is, that it is always good to come home. I love our "middle of nowhere".
