Spine Align

Today I returned to the chiropractor after a long hiatus... too long. It was sooooo nice to get some relief from my chronic lower back pain and hopefully, some long term relief from the headaches I've been having (though I believe those to be stress related). Of course, right now I'm feeling a bit of of whack still but I'm hoping that my spine will settle down by tomorrow.

I'm not much for medicine and medical care in general (a real 'tuf girl!) but I strongly believe in chiropractic care. I used to go every month at the advice of my doctor. I think I need to re-visit that therapy. Sweet sweet relief!

I also enjoy the lengthy conversations with my doctor. You just never quite know what the topic of the day will be, but I always walk away appreciating that he will spend more than 3 minutes with me, even if the topic of the day was politics. :)

No need for takeout!

Every once in a while, I get plain proud of what I can do in a kitchen. I mean, I know I'm a good cook (said in the most humble tone possible) but I get complimented on my baking much more than I do my cooking. There is also something great about watching my husband's face when he truly enjoys something. I mean, enjoys it to the point that it SHOCKS him. Such was last night and my masterful attempt at homemade orange chicken. I've made this recipe before (in fact, it's in the blog, here), but I think we both forgot how good it was.

Truly, no need for takeout. And right now, that is a very good thing.

A quick weekend update

I know I've been much busier in life than we are right now, but for some reason it just feels out of control lately. The weekend came and went soooo quickly and work days seem to drag along. I will never understand that.

We had a nice weekend with a quick trip to O.C. to celebrate the birthday of our friend Jenn. Because of her connections in the music industry in booking/management, we got to enjoy some amazing music at the very cool Cherch Lounge in Fullerton. It looks like she had a wonderful birthday and we had a good time. Thanks for allowing us to celebrate with you Jenn!

Special thanks go out to our dear friends Erin and Tommy for hosting us once again on our super quick trip. We love you guys and we just hate having to rush back home after only 24 hours. :(

This continues to be a busy and intense weekend for Ryan and I as we are awaiting some very important news as we move closer toward the possibility of a new home in Visalia. I'll update when I'm good and ready, so stop harassing me friends! ;)

Isn't my husband the cutest ever?

Jenn, did you fall out of a Target ad or something?

Why, yes, yes I did. :)
