31 Days - Day 9

31 days
I went to bed last night feeling very blaugh.  I couldn't put my finger on it.  Either I've inhaled too many fumes from the tar being put on the roof, I'm out of alignment or I'm getting the flu.  Either way, I was not doing well.

This morning I took the kids to school and thankfully the SK teacher was on duty so I could leave Julia (she doesn't like you to leave till the bell rings).  I rushed off to the chiropractor and he said that I was 4 right (he does a scan before and after the adjustment and I'm usually 2-9 to the left).

He tried to do the adjustment one way but it didn't work, then he tried another and I could feel the blood start to rush through my body (which usually happens after a 'good' adjustment).  I'm hoping that that is all it was... just being out of alignment - it is either that or nerves about going to the dentist.

All that to say I am very thankful for my Chiropractor, Dr. Mark Mitchell.  I can pretty much go in there whenever I need to and he'll always see me.  I've been seeing him long enough now that he knows when there is a change in the weather I'll be coming in.  He knows all the sore spots (and I think he takes great joy in finding them and pushing on them) and is very quick.  I don't think I've ever waited more than 5 minutes to see him (and that was a time I walked in and he was doing x-rays).  For the past almost 2 years he hasn't charged me if I have to come in twice in a week (which is a huge savings!).

The staff, his wife Karen and Trish, are also great.  They know my voice right away and are always quick to tell me I can come in. 

I am so thankful for the ability to be able to go to the chiropractor and the help and relief (albeit small) I can get when I go there.

I think that it is oftent the simplest gestures that mean the most to me. Last week I had the priviledge of going to visit friends for dinner. When their 4 year old boy heard I was coming he wanted to set the table extra special. So he carefully put out the plates then put out the forks and knives. When he put out the napkins he decided to make it extra special and 'crinkled' the napkin around the utensil. Just a sim ple thoughful gesture to make things a bit more special. In February at our Ladies retreat we talked about Hospitality and how we need to get out of our comfort zones and start to make our homes and churches more inviting and welcoming places. We were encouraged and challenged to not worry if our homes weren't clean, we didn't have a 5 course meal prepared, or anyother excuse that we may have thought of in the past and just obey the command to Practice Hospitality (Romans 12:13). What a blessing it could be if our children grew up without the same hang ups ...

Hannah Rose Everts July 27, 2007 7 lbs 3oz We are so excited to have a little girl in the family! (though after 6 sisters you wouldn't think so!) Because Hannah was a footling breech, Rachel had a c-section planned for Friday early evening, but got bumped up to a later time. Hannah was born at 9:56 pm. She was laying sideways and it took some effort, but sh e is here safely. Rachel is doing extremly well and looking forward to coming home. Tristan wasn't quite sure what was going on... what 13 mont h old does? He pointed straight to her nose (like he does on his doll). He now looks like a GIANT! We are so thankful to the Lord for his blessings to Ryan and Rachel with another covenant child.

On the long weekend, Mike & Karen and I decided to spend a quiet weekend together camping. (Did I just say Karen and quiet in the same sentence?!?) We were a bit smarter this year than last and brought the trailer, got an electrical site and brought a heater along. While it was quite cold at night we were snug as bugs in rugs. Our first night was not one of much sleep. The people beside us came in just before 1 am drinking and making all sorts of noise. Finally at 4 am I opened the door and told them to be quiet. (Mike was shocked awake because he hadn't heard a thing!) At 4:30 Mike and Karen went out looking for the park rangers and then went to the site and told them to be quiet. Finally at about 5am they were asleep in their tents. Karen (who doesn't always need a lot of sleep) went out at about 8 and found the ranger and by 9 he was shaking their tents telling them that they had to leave. Karen, being Karen, made sure that we got our money back for the night! Our neigh...
