59...58...57...56....


Never before have I been soooo happy to see a huge deduction in our checking account. I got to work and checked it online (kind of a daily thing, just to keep an eye on it) and there it was. "Withdrawal, $921.76." (or whatever it was) I was so pumped. It was the second half of our reservation for the cabin Lindsay and I are staying in when we go to the promised land in 59 days from my typing this. It's paid for. The first half the woman took when we first booked it, the second half to come out when we were 60 days out. Which is where we are!! We're that close!!! I'm like a school girl now. When the countdown gets to single digits, I will be dang near useless. Now way in the world I'll be any kind of productive.

So then I decide to find the cabin on google earth. By looking around, I realized we're 1 1/2 mile away from the Rocky Mountain National Park's entrance. 1 1/2 mile in the other direction, the start of the "Peak to Peak" Scenic by way, which is a road which stretches from Estes Park south around 30 miles toward Pikes Peak. It's supposed to be one of the most scenic roads in the state (which is saying something). I haven't been on that road yet, so Lindsay and I will discover that together. Quite frankly, my imagination tells me it's the only thing I'll ever see to rival her for "Most beautiful sight ever".

I'm just so incredibly, annoyingly excited for this trip. And now that the cabin, flight, rental car, everything's paid for, the only thing left to do is count down and try to focus on my job. After I blog about not being focused that is. 9....58....57....
