We pulled into Denver Wednesday evening and completely crashed! Sarah was definitely done being in the car - therefore, we all were! We kept things really low-key and got the kids in bed ON TIME for the first time in days and they both slept okay.
Thursday morning it was cold and overcast. Normally, I love this kind of weather. But it is kind of a downer when you aren't home and can't just snuggle inside all day. We wanted to keep the day simple since we knew Friday was going to be busy and long. After breakfast we went on a walk around the lake of the apartments we used to live in because we were staying directly across the street! Mark and I both commented on how normal it felt pulling into that area - it really felt like we had not left which was not what I was expecting. It was nice to walk around that path that we were so familiar with for the last time. It felt a lot more final being back in Denver for this trip.
We spent the rest of the day just taking is easy and mostly snuggling in our hotel and trying to get Sarah a little bit more on her schedule. Then Mark and I got ready for Mark's graduation banquet. It was nice to get dressed up and go out for a night just the two of us. It definitely is still rare when that happens and it was really great. AND it was even nicer because we were going out to celebrate Mark and all that he has accomplished the last four years.
The dinner was nice and they had a good program that went with it and we were able to hear from some of the faculty that were being awarded. It was a great evening and the perfect introduction to all of our graduation activities.
Trust me, much much more gushing about Mark to come.
