Whats Dr. Weir Been Up To?

This morning I was scheduling a patient and realized that the next time that I would see him would be in November. My oh my, how the year flies by! It has been a great year though, and I want to give you a quick update on what’s going on in my life. If you wonder why I am taking the time to write to my patients about what’s going in my life, it’s because when you become a patient here in my office I consider you a member of my extended family. I am always so excited to hear what is going on in your lives when you come in for your visits, with vacations, family, and work. So I want to give you a chance to hear what is going on in my life.

As many of you know from the “Starfish” letter that I sent you a few months back, (oh, by the way, if you didn’t get my starfish letter just ask me next time you are in and I will get you one. It’s very powerful!) I got engaged to the most wonderful woman in this entire world, Angela Fay (I’m not biased, I swear!). Now as a male, I had absolutely no idea how much work planning a wedding is. I figured you rent a church, send all of your family and friends an invitation and “get hitched”. Well I was utterly wrong! It is amazing to me how many details there are to a wedding. It has been a lot of fun to help Angela do the wedding planning thing, and prepare for this great celebration.

Now I get to brag a little bit about my amazing fiancée. (Now just remember I’m not biased) Angela is a Washingtonian through and though, having grown up in Snohomish. She has never lived out side of our wonderful state. We met at church (Overlake Christian Church) one week and the rest has been history. Angela works in the telecom industry supplying internet to big businesses and loves her job. It’s great to find not only a spouse but truly a best friend! We love to be with our families and friends. Angela is a huge Seahawks football fan so we watch a lot of football together and root for the home team!

One of my passions and hobbies is learning new things and I am always reading some kind of book or going to a seminar to keep my skills sharp to be the best chiropractor that I can for you! Right now I am learning some new functional moving stretches and exercises and I am excited to show you some of these “movements” to help enhance the care you get here. One of my other fun hobbies is to play fantasy football with the guys I went to college with. When I was in school, the class room hours were extremely intense, (7 AM to 6PM and many times on the weekends) so “fantasy football” was our way to have fun and relax when we were not in class and the tradition has carried on as we are all now in practice. For those of you who care (I realize this may be only a few) Payton Manning is my quarterback and so far my team is winning!

One of the things that I tell you is how important exercise is, and this is a very important part of my life. I must be honest with you though, I get bored with the same old exercise routine very quickly and I am always looking for ways to keep fitness fresh and fun for myself. I have started a new routine recently called YRG (Yoga for Regular Guys) and am finding that it is a fun new way to stay fit. It is also for women, ladies, and you can check it out at http://www.yrgfitness.com. All in all it is so important to find an exercise routine that fits YOU and that you are willing to stick to.

Until next time…

Dr. Weir
