1. Free one night getaway. Jake's company does health insurance, payroll and other similar services for other small companies. One of the health care providers sponsored a one-night getaway to Daniel's Summit Lodge for some of their broker and health insurance agencies- which means we got another little geteway- this time for free. It was just one night and the lodge isn't far- but it was nice, they had a dinner and presentation- but they also paid for breakfast and snowmobiling the next morning. We relaxed in the hot tub and played cards with two other couples (one being Jake's business partner Lou and his wife Trish- the other their friends' the keyes).

2. Siblings and friends who helped watch the boys while we were gone! So nice to have you guys around.

3. My body to myself. After being pregnant, and then nursing for a year- its nice to know that my body is mine and "normal" for a while again. I only had about 4 months of this after Josh was weaned- I'm planning on keeping it this way for close to a year this time before getting pregnant again. It really is nice not to have to worry about every little medication I take or knowing that I can leave both kids at home for more than a few hours.
