Change Is In The Air

Here is just a little glimpse of what our future holds... (all it needs is a new paint job and some re-decorating)!

The back area we are putting all of the spinal rehabilitation equipment. We are also putting in a childern's area along one of the walls.Looking towards the front from the rehab room. There are adjusting rooms/and a massage therapist's room along the hallway.

Looking at the front desk from the front door. There is a room we're turning into a consultation room on the right hand side, but I forgot to snap a pic.
The x-ray room. We won't be doing anything fancy in here...it's hard to make a room look cute with that monster staring back at you!
It has been the most trying five months of our lives, but with every disappointment there was a small miracle waiting around the corner. When we left Palmer I never imagined the ups and downs, heartbreak and joy we would experience in such a short amount of time. Losing our baby was (and at times still is) the hardest thing we've had to face in quite a long time. But each day brings just a little more peace and I wouldn't be where I'm at emotionally if it weren't for the many shoulders to cry on, and many listening and empathetic ears.
We also realized fairly quickly that the practice Running Man was at was not the right fit for us. We learned a lot, but knew we needed to pursue our dream. We felt the sometimes overwhelming promptings and knew we needed to take the plunge. Each step brought peace, but there were so many more setbacks than I ever thought we would have. I am so blessed with a strong/solid as a rock hubby who took on most of the burden and carried us through. And to everyone (and there are so many) who found some way to be that tiny miracle we needed at so many points, we can never thank you enough. We have felt your prayers, and are amazed at the selflessness and generosity you have shown us.
There are many months/years of hard work ahead of us, but it is so exciting to know that it will all be progress towards making our dream come true!
