It was quite a week! We opened our office doors on Friday and the preparation process was interesting... During the week, we had non-functioning phones and other craziness and I was stressed out to the max. At one point my body was in such over-drive that I wanted to cry my eyes out but my body wouldn't even allow it. :) The girl just needed a good cry, but we were in survival mode - no time for that. God did a good job at keeping my perspective grounded as I've been keeping up-to-date with friends in India - Jeff & Adrienne and Amanda. Nevermind non-functioning phones -- how about non-functioning electricity? or dredlocks? :)

Opening day, our patients with appointments showed up! We've built this from the ground up and it is so neat to see things rolling. Before our patients arrived, two familiar faces walked in:

A surprise visit from my parents! There's nothing like it. It was so timely and an instant stress relief. I've spent the weekend doing a fair amount of relaxing and having some downtime and not worrying about ANYTHING. And much to the relief of everyone who has to look at me -- I'm getting a wardrobe update later today. My mom and I are going shopping -- Ahhh...
I'm gonna snap some pictures of the finished office early this week. And so I'll post those later. We're excited -- Providence Family Chiropractic is open and saving lives!!
