Body Mind and Soul

I am a terrible "blogger" I just realized it's been over a month since my last post. As usual we have been exploring and growing in our new home. Summer arrived early (sorry CO. we sent you all our rain) and we have been soaking up the summer fun, hence the no blog post for so long. JJ has joined the kayaking and softball team through the university and loving every second of it while I've found a dance studio that I can't wait to start taking classes at.....this Monday will be my first! We've found our favorite beach and it's amazing, sandy beaches looking out to the ocean surrounded by the Olympic Mountain Range and our favorite mountain bike/hiking trail all located within 10-20 minutes of our house and yes, to everyone in my family I actually enjoy hiking now that I'm old enough to appreciate the peacefulness of the great outdoors.

We have started to make some friends and that is so awesome! I really connected with the daughter of my moms best friend that lives out here and we like to think the second generation is going to be just as much fun as our moms were. Our dads are both chiropractors and we both got our start in the health care industry in their offices and coincidentally our long term goal is to both be doulas or midwifes. I love love love how forward thinking everyone is out here when it comes to the care of our body mind and soul and we are soaking up every second of it. Personally I have been a regular at the chiropractor as always but I've also been getting acupuncture and recently some bio-energetic feedback work done. I really don't know a whole lot about the bio-energetic feedback yet as I've only had it done once but basically it measures the weak energy points in your body and feeds positively charged ions back into you to help balance you out as a whole. I know it sounds a little crazy but I felt like a new person after having it done. JJ has just done the Chiropractic care so far but he's dying to try the acupuncture and feedback as soon as he has time. I think that overall we are just discovering how much we really feel ourselves out here and are just trying to embrace it as much as possible. I'll post some pics of the summer so far below and I'll try to be better about blogging in the next couple weeks as we have my parents coming out next week and then a few camping trips and concerts coming up in July that I'm sure will produce great pictures! Sending our love to all our friends and family and wait to see some of you in August!
