The Good Report Take 5

So today I'm not really in the mood to write a good report but I suppose the days that you don't want to be thankful are the ones that we really should try. Here goes!

• Ben got an unexpected day off today so it looks like we get to spend the day together! 
• The bassinet is set up and ready for a little baby, I can't believe that something is actually done!
• The weather is absolutely perfect today, 18 degrees and sunny with a nice breeze.
• My cousin found sugar free popsicles for me and they taste amazing! I've been indulging like crazy!
• It's almost JULY!
• The horrible humidity we had earlier on in the week seems to be gone, thank God! 
• Now that the humidity has subsided so has my swelling.
• I only have 9 more shifts of work left, I couldn't be more excited to be done.
• We have been down a vehicle for the past few days but my mom has been such a help with giving me rides.
• Still loving all the movement I get to feel throughout the day, what a treat.
• Starting to feel prepared now that we are full swing into our birth classes and we have appointments more often with either the midwife or our doula.
• So thankful for every good night sleep that I get! 

That's all I can muster for the day but it sure does help to focus on the good. I'm off to enjoy this beautiful day! 

Mood Swing Friday

If I had a doc following me around today I'm pretty sure there would have been two conclusions made;

1. how creepy that would be and

2. that I am bipolar.

Let me explain.....

This morning I woke up with a smile on my face...well that's not quite true but by the time I'd had my cup of coffee I was about as close to smiling as one can be while doing ones make-up. I even annoyed the receptionist at work by saying 'good morning' in too cheerful of a way... My point is that I was in a really good mood. Anyways, this jolly attitude continued through my first 2 massages, however after my second massage I was informed that my next client had cancelled...last minute...boo! In about 3 seconds I went from very very happy to not quite as happy. I sat around during the next while, my mood slightly dampened, I wasn't too disappointed though, I sat and read my book. As the time approached for my next client I eagerly waited for his arrival, he's a regular and it's always an enjoyable time. However, the time for his treatment came and went with no sign of him. My mood once again took a tumble... To make a long story short...er This same thing happened with one more of my clients today. So out of my 7 clients booked I only ended up with 4. For all the readers out there please please please take note, it's really important to make it to your appointments and if you can't, call and cancel as soon as you know!

Anyways, now that I'm home and have had some time to chill I realize that if I let my mood be determined by others I'm never going to have a day without mood swings. My goal is to let that morning smile last all day and I encourage the rest of you to try that as well, life is good!

That is all!

Shoot The Moon

So, it's been a while since I've posted but boy has it been an exciting two weeks! So last I posted I was preparing for a few interviews and was ready to be shipped off to fun in the sun down in good ol' AZ. Well I did secure a job the day before we left which was AWESOME! I'm now wrapping up my first week at 2nd Avenue Family Chiropractic and am LOVING it. I had some doubts while in school that I wouldn't be good at massage and that I would hate it but now that I'm out of retail and actually in the field there are perks that I enjoy more than I had anticipated; I can come and go as I please (to a certain extent), I have my own room which I can decorate in whichever way I wish, I have a receptionist to does stuff for me, and I actually have been getting clients!!! Anyhoo...it's an exciting stage. :)

On another note, our trip to Arizona was amazing. We spent 7 days with 20ish wonderful friends from all over the world! The reason we made our trek down south was to witness the wedding of two great friends that I met while attending bible school in Sweden 3 years ago. The wedding was absolutely beautiful, I feel so honored that both Ben and I were invited to come. I just love meeting up with my bible school friends, even if we haven't seen each other in 6 months or however long, we kinda just pick up where we left off and it's like we were never apart, not to mention, there are so many places that we have an excuse to visit. Another point worth mentioning of the trip was that I managed to secure a pretty intense sunburn and have been peeling my nose off one flake at a time since...I think the peeling may finally be coming to an end.

Life is good! Nothing else to report! Oh yeah, our wine is almost ready to be enjoyed! Post on the Oscars in the making.
