Some time for me

I am sitting at a Starbucks in Colorado Springs all by myself.

Why am I in Colorado Springs on a Friday afternoon?  How have I found myself alone?  Where is my hubby and child? 

Let me tell you...

Cole's friend Steve is getting married in a few hours at a church in Colorado Springs.  The wedding is at 4, but because Cole is an usher, he had to be at the church at 1:30.  Cole pretty much took the entire day off so we could get everything ready and get here on time.  I don't know what it is about the drive to Colorado Springs, but for some reason there always seems to be plenty of traffic!  Turns out leaving early was a great idea!  As for my baby boy, we dropped him off in Longmont with Cole's mom.  I thought it would be too long of a day for him, a lot of car time, and Cole and I thought it might be nice to take advantage of spending some time alone.  Does it say something that we were even excited for the drive?!?  Perspectives have changed since baby, and what once would have been seen as an annoying, long drive, is now seen as the perfect opportunity to ride hand in hand with my love and spend time talking and laughing without other obligations!

Once I dropped Cole off at the church, I decided I really needed to embrace the circumstances and find a Starbucks and relish in some "me time"!  Let me say, I am loving it!  I probably would have preferred a Barnes and Noble though because this Starbucks is hopping...so crazy and so noisy.  My gps let me down and couldn't find a BandN..so I made do with this!  And I am still very thankful!

Of course coming early has some disadvantages...like having to change and try to "get ready" in a church bathroom.  It should be interesting, that's for sure.  And of course leaving Tavian, as much as I appreciate the break, was hard.  My eyes welled with tears as we drove off, afraid that my little man would feel abandoned by me.  But I know that is rediculous, especially because I am leaving him with Grammy...aka the best hands ever!!  I know he will beloved, spoiled, and cherished in her home...as he should be :)

Well, I only have a short time left before I will need to leave to get ready.  I will post later about the rest of the night and about the wedding.  I'm sure we'll have a blast!

And, if this goes well, maybe someday soon we'll try leaving Tavian overnight...

maybe..
