Oliver is a Girl!!

So I went to the vet today and found out Oliver is a GIRL! Which actually makes me really happy :) So since I got so attached to the name Oliver and calling her Oliver, I didn't want to go with a completely different name, so I've been calling her Olive. She's so fun to have around! She's always playing and darting around and running in different directions and of course she's adorable when she sleeps too :)

Earlier this evening I was in our bedroom when the manager of this RV park knocked on the door to deliver our mail (some early birthday presents from my loving and amazing mother-in-law!). Billy answered and I came out of the room a little while later and Olive was nowhere to be found! We looked everywhere in the trailer! In all of the little nooks and crannies! We figured she must have darted out when Billy opened the front door to get the mail. By this time I was freaking out, and on the verge of tears (ok, I was bawling...), and we decided to go look outside. We must have been out there for at least 45 minutes (in 20 degree weather) and couldn't find her. Needless to say I was devastated. So I came back inside while Billy looked in the field adjacent to the park. In our trailer we have tons of storage space, and one spot is a drawer that pulls out under our couch. Well, I was decided to put something away in that drawer and pulled it out, and of course, there's Olive, snoozing away. I'm not sure how exactly she got in there, and am still a little irritated that she didn't meow while we were calling her name, but I'm SO grateful that she wasn't lost after all :)


The last few days Billy's back has been KILLING him. Right in the lower area, above his tailbone. Wednesday I scheduled him a massage, sure that would completely fix the problem. He went and felt a little better, but he could tell the problem wasn't fixed. So yesterday he scheduled an appointment with a Chiropractor hoping for better results. Remember that we're staying in souther Illinois (aka hickville, judgmental I know, but true). This is the office we pulled up to yesterday:

Doesn't really look like the kind of place you'd want to trust with your back.. And this is the only office open within a 30 mile radius...

Thankfully it wasn't as sketchy as it looked. The chiropractor said Billy's hip was raised on one side and he basically popped it back into place and it was good as new! Billy was amazed at how much better he felt! I think he's now a chiropractic patient for life :)
