Tuesday night

Cade and I had a pretty good day. Took the dog to the vet because he was coughing, found out he has kennel cough, left the baby at home with John and got to go to lunch with Charity, a new friend, then got to go to my favorite store and get things ALONE! The went and bought a used elliptical from a couple on base and finally went to dinner for my favorite food for the Tuesday night special. All in a days work. Also did laundry. 

So the dog had been coughing since Sunday and we thought it was just a thing he had. He has hacked before. But today for some wired reason as soon as I woke up it dawned on me what was wrong with him. So I called and got him in right away. $200 later we have doggie drugs. 

I had been looking on cragislist for a few weeks trying to find a used treadmill or elliptical. No way we were buying a new one and they don't have any second hand stores like second wind (http://www.2ndwindexercise.com/) like they do in STL. So finally I found one and it just happened to be from a couple on base who is moving to Germany. They also had 4 5 week old kittens! A stray (probably a cat someone left behind, they are all over base), just came to their door one day and had her babies. So the wife was trying to pawn one off on us. They turned out to be a really nice couple. He reminded me a lot of John. Very sweet. So he brought it over in his truck for us. I am putting it in our entryway since we don't use it. Everyone uses the side door. I might even use some old curtains and an old tension rod I have to make a "door" to hide it. 

Then before dinner we also has the Parent Advocacy Parternship (or something to that effect) come by. It used to be Parents as Teachers, but they did away with the program last year. It is basically the same program though.

On a final note, our neighbor had her baby. A little girl named Lily today. They are coming home tomorrow night so I get to see her! They are moving to WA the first week of Oct. She is one of my other friends I made. So the two friends I have now made are both moving in about a month. How nice!
