The long-awaited day has finally arrived

This may, in fact, be the most important blog post in history. In fact, the sacredness of this entry may prevent future blogging all together - for what could compare with today?


In fact...a moment of silence before continuing, please.


For six long years I have prayed long and hard for this day to come. A day that I will surely never forget. A day that I am grateful I was able to share with my son and close friends. A day that I regret I was not able to share with my dear husband. You see...six years ago, I moved to Florida...leaving behind Colorado's beautiful mountains, crisp autumn air, family and some of the best friends a girl could ever ask for...but I moved from the west anyway - unbeknownst to me...there was not a Chipotle to be found for miles and miles. No cilantro lime rice...no delicious corn salsa...no yummy fresh chicken and black beans...just the yucky substitute called Moe's. So...without further ado - I present to you, the most exciting day in the history of Jacksonville, Florida.

Waiting (somewhat) patiently in line

Note how the line is wrapped around the corner
They even gave the kiddos little mini burrito toys!!
Ah - Finally! (Note the napkin...it contains important burrito consuming instructions)
The first bite...
Post-burrito-euphoria.

One may ask: "Why build a Chipotle when you have a Moe's here?" *GASP* Because THAT, my friend, would be like asking, "Why build a Bloomingdale's when you already have a Sears?"

Yes - it's that big of a deal.
