Reunited!!

Macy is in town for spring break this week!! I am so happy she is here. Alyssa was able to come up for the weekend and we all got to hang out. Macy brought her boyfriend Brek- who she really likes.. He is a returned missionary which is different but he seems really nice. On Saturday night we did a triple date which was really fun! I miss hanging out with both my sisters at the same time... It does get a bit crazy because we are all cooky and we feed off of each other but it is a blast.
We went to The Olive Garden to eat and then went back home to play games. We invited my Mom and Jerry to eat with us. We did a little photo shoot while we waited 45 mins to get into the restaurant. At least it was a nice day outside.

Adjustment

So my back has given me a lot of problems in the last few years. But mostly in the last few weeks it has been unbearable. I cant sit longer than an hour without a sharp pain like something is stabbing me in the back with a pencil.
My Chiropractor is a great guy. he was my dads chiropractor for years and years before he died. I went to see him this morning. I love going to his office because I feel like a celebrity. First they take you into a room where i lay down and they put a stem machine with pads hooked to my back... these send electric pulses through the pads and it feels amazing. They also put a heating pad on me and leave me there to relax for about 10 mins. Then they take me into another room where a girl gives me a massage for 10 mins... when you think of massage you think relaxing right? No. This hurts bad. She digs into me pretty hard and I am sore after but it really helps.
Then I go into see Dr Clifford. He is great-- What I have is displaced joints where my ribs connect to my spine. He knows just the right thing to do to fix me all up- plus he adjusts my neck too while I'm there. I also have a "short leg". Yes it is a real thing... and Dr Clifford is also working with me on that as well.
I will go back again early next week if it starts to bother again.
Yeah for Chiropractors... without them I would be bedridden.

Happy Half Century

My sister Alyssa got her engagement ring this weekend. It is beautiful. Their wedding date is set for Aug 4.




Yesterday was Brett's mom;s 50th birthday. I spend a while yesterday making her birthday card which turned out pretty cute.




Today we went over to Brett's parents house for dinner and after dinner was Debbie's party. She is a wonderful woman and I am grateful to have her in my life. Happy Birthday Mom! I love you.







We got to play around with Mandi's kids. They are growing up so fast.






On another note. We bought a new dog bed for Mimi. She really needed one and we found a really nice big one at Costco. She loves it!
