good news and great news

i have some definite swelling going on

but my blood pressure is fine

so it's no biggie

and the swelling is better today than it had been all weekend

so that's good

and the doctor gave me the ok to travel

so tomorrow we're heading to the airport

and flying stand by

to chicago to see my sister

if we make that flight

otherwise we're going to san francisco

because the flights are wide open

and we need a little adventure in our lives

we figure now or never

so michael took the week off

and while hazel is only 1 for another week and a half

we're going while she flies free

and while we only have two kids

should be fun

wish us luck!!
