Escape

Friday morning Jackson and I are escaping Denver for a much needed break. We're headed to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota to watch what has been rated as one of the top ten fireworks shows in the nation. I'm excited to mark another state off of my to-do list. We will be going up through Wyoming to get there and back through Nebraska to get home. YAY! I can mark Nebraska off of my list, too. (I need to hit the East Coast to mark off a lot of states quickly. That will have to be at some other time.) 

Anyway, the people at Mt. Rushmore have their fireworks on July 3rd. I found that out after we had already booked a hotel for July 4th. Oops! Thank goodness the people in South Dakota are super understanding and let us cancel without charge. We got what seems to be the last hotel room in Rapid City, South Dakota for a great price. We're taking MacKenzie up with us. It should be a fun, quick trip.

We got more bad news today: Jackson did not get the job at Great-West. Bummer. I did not hear back from the job I interviewed for so I do not feel that great about it. Sigh. Things are not good here that's why we're excited to just escape for one night. We're going to stay positive and keep pursuing jobs. Things have to turn around, right? Let's hope.
