Bethany, where do you practice?
I just read this blog and reflected on my Father’s Day. I got a cute card from my two young kids in a hotel room because we were on our way to Oregon for a weeks vacation on the beach. First real vacation since getting out of school in 1999.
David, I am sorry you are not doing so well. I am familliar with the Logan area and I have to say that is probably the toughest place to open a practice in Utah. Keep at it. I look back at my journal and more than once I wonder if I can get out of my agreement to purchase a practice or not. I am still in the red but in 5 years I will be doing well. As it is now, I work late one night and no saturdays.

Sorry you’re having such a tough time… we are 6 years into our open-cold practice, and really starting to reap the benefits of flexible schedule, enough money to support us full time without working elsewhere, and most days enjoying the process. Of course I am reading blogs tonight because my husband is at the office at 10:30 p.m. finishing paperwork– but that’s only so we can enjoy a less stressful day off tomorrow while the kiddies are in daycare
