Heppner Chiropractic

This has been an exciting month and a half. My chiropractic practice, Heppner Chiropractic, opened on March 2nd and has been picking up speed ever since. Check out my website www.heppnerchiropractic.com I am in an office with 2 other chiropractors and a massage therapist, so we share staff and supplies to keep costs down. It is a great environment to work in. All members of the staff are Christians and very easy to get along with. I have been getting involved with our Chamber of Commerce, so that helps to get to know people and to feel like I belong here. It is nice to see familiar faces around town for a change. I also joined my church's choir and a CERT Team (Community Emergency Response Team). I'm really loving it out here. It's awesome to wake up everyday and see the mountains everyday on my drive to work. Robb and I have also been exploring the area - mount hood and the willamette River. I'd like to do more hiking, but we have been working so hard lately, the last thing we want to do on weekends is to wear ourselves out more. I am really looking forward to coming to Ohio for Bridget's wedding. I hope you all can be there and I'm also can't wait to see my family. See you soon!

Un-pregnant

It's weird not being pregnant when you were yesterday and have no baby to show for it. Miscarriages are an awful experience. Sure, God was probably saving us and our little baby from a life of disabilities and pain, but it really is difficult to accept. I'm glad that we were only as far along as we were. Everyday of pregnancy bonds you more with the little baby inside. Also, from a physical aspect I don't know how I could handle a larger miscarriage. I pray that none of you reading this ever has to share this experience, but I am glad that I had certain tools to deal with this that I did. I won't share the gorey details here, but it is a crazy thing that no one should do alone or unprepared. I thought I was crazy for reading Lamaze books at 10 weeks, but when the contractions started and I was at home without medication, I was darn glad I knew how to relax and breathe through them and that I knew what to expect along the way. OK, enough about this. The next post should be happier. I really do like Oregon.
