Tuesday we flew out around 9am and got to Denver around 12:30pm. We got to the hotel and our godkids came to stay with us. We spent the day at the pool and getting situated. That evening we went to Cheddars for dinner (which is a great restaurant that is only in Midwest/ Eastcoast). Then we went home, cause a few shows for Shark Week then went to bed. Wednesday was spent relaxing during the morning then the afternoon we all went to get food at Pizzeria Locale but found it by mistake when stopping at a Noodle place. It was #6 on my list I found on Pinterest on "50 Things to do in Denver." It was crazy that we found it. The Hawaiian pizza was amazing. I don't want to hear people's comments on the pineapple because it was so good (don't judge me). We then went to drive around for a bit, passed the capitol and just explored. We found ourselves driving around Parker and found this park. We let the kids run around at this park and found the cutest little coffee shop called Fika Coffee House. It was adorable and the little square that it's in was so adorable and the weather was nice. Unexpected adventures are my favorite, today was definitely one of those.
Today started out kind of rough. I found myself waking up abruptly this morning from a nightmare about the crash. I was upset all morning and had a massive headache. I find that even with the distractions, the music, the migraine medicine, I can't shake those emotions from the wreck. When they hit, they hit like a ton of bricks. I keep praying for peace, when I do, after sometime I feel peace. I find myself able to go on with my day, but at times the fear is so overtaking I can't handle it. I'm not scared to get into a car or to drive, but I'm just afraid. I don't know what to do. I keep telling myself that I'm stronger than this and that I shouldn't play the victim, but I can't help it. Talking about it and getting my thoughts off my chest has been good, it helps me process everything. I'm okay for a little while, then the cycle continues. As I enjoy my time here in Denver I smile, but I know this is slowly coming to and end and soon I'll be back home, facing my reality once again. I can't escape forever, but I feel like I've been trying to. I always tend to run when hard times come. I didn't know when I started running I'd be running my whole life.
