He took his dad and the dogs into western Colorado on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday and you're probably wondering why I didn't go along. Well, I would've had to take off work and that wasn't in the cards, obviously. And I know he just wanted to get away and relax. To me, camping is not relaxing. What is relaxing is the chance to catch up. I had time to grade papers, plan stuff for school, workout, go to lunch with a friend, run errands, CLEAN, do lots of laundry, etc Time and space to spread out and take care of everything that needs to be taken care of IS the relaxing thing to me. Camping for the weekend would've led to more work and a stressed-out work week. Most people enjoy getting out into the woods to "relax", but not me.
Next weekend, we've got the state fair, a concert, a cookout, and a trip to Denver. The weekend after that we have our anniversary, most likely another trip to Denver, and I've got to decorate for fall (because I used to do that in August back in Alaska...I'm fall-ing behind).
I needed a weekend of nothing.
While I missed the dogs a lot (like an insane amount), it was nice to sleep in until 8 without Jett waking me up at the crack of dawn demanding food. That dog does not sleep in.

It's also worth mentioning that today is our SEVEN YEAR dating anniversary. Time flies. We started dating in Pennsylvania in 2008 and this is our 4th state and our 4th house. That's a lot in 7 years.
