5 & 6 of 21

Yesterday was pretty busy...so here's 2 days worth

• Smart friends.  Yesterday Ryan got his finger caught in a door jam.  It pretty much freaked us out.  We wanted to take him to the hospital, but since the base here doesn't have one we'd have to go to the ER (which can sometimes take FOREVER).  Luckily we thought of a friend who is a nurse and had the day off, so we stopped by her house so she could look at it.  She gave it the all clear...there's not too much doctors can do any ways for him, they'd probably just give him some Tylenol.  So we saved our-selves a lot of time, and the tax payers a lot of money.  You're welcome.

• Southwest Airlines.  I found airfare round trip to my parents in Seattle for $270.  Plus you can check 2 bags for free.  Sweet.

• Friends.  O.k...tomorrow I'll try to be more original.  I am really grateful for friends though.  We have some friends in Abq. where we take turns babysitting.  We are both going out 3 times this weekend (please don't judge us for being away from our kids that long!).  They're watching Ryan tonight, tomorrow morning, and Monday night, and we're watching their kids tomorrow night, Sunday afternoon, and Monday afternoon.  Saves us a TON of money.

• 100 calorie pack anything.  I love how nice it is to have a snack already proportioned for me.  Though I am learning it really doesn't do any good if you eat the whole box.
