Puzzles......


So... I don't know how many of you do puzzles... But I do... They can get so frustrating, yet so addicting... We had a puzzle, one of those photomosaics, and it took us forever to get it all put together, but now it's framed and is never coming apart again :)


Haha so I bet you're wondering why the heck I'm talking about puzzles... Well I guess I have just been thinking alot lately... About life in general... I guess what I'm saying is that life is like one big puzzle... Except you have to pay close attention to where you fit the pieces together... I recently realized that I had a piece that wasn't fitting right in the border of my puzzle... I tried and tried to replace that "piece" with other "pieces" and they just never fit... Without the outside of the puzzle put together it's pretty hard to put the rest of it together...


Anyways I think I finally found the pieces that fit... There have been people that I have fallen away from, and always KNEW they needed to be in my life... And they're back :) (I think she knows who I'm talking about) But I guess if we never had gone our seperate ways we wouldn't have the rest of the pieces of the border and those are equally important... I have some amazing people in my life now a days... And I could not choose to dispose of any of them over any of the others... They all play an important role... But I truly am thankful to have my puzzle piece back in my life :) I have needed you!!


A sidenote to this story: don't worry so much about trying to MAKE someone fit into your puzzle, sometimes they just don't fit quite how you would like them to... Also, don't center your entire puzzle around one piece, you have to remember all the other pieces that make the final product. You may have a favorite piece, but you need them all... Trust me, when you lose one piece nothing feels right... Life's a puzzle, and it can be stressful and frustrating, but when all the pieces start fitting together perfectly, you just have to smile :) and be thankful that you never quit and put it all back in the box...


I guess the reason I am writing this, is because I have had a lot of time to think this week... Ugh it has been so hard and so frustrating... My really good friend had a traumatic experience last week and I dropped everything to be with her... That really took an emotional toll on me, RIP Jere... Then I had 4 tests in 3 days... (yes only one more left tomorrow) So trying to balance that with everything else was difficult... But afterwards, looking back I'm so glad I didn't throw the puzzle back in the box... I'm a few steps closer to completing the puzzle :)


So I just want to say thanks to all the "pieces" in my puzzle... I am so thankful for you all! And glad that you fit the way you do :) I have some amazing pieces and wouldn't trade them for the world... So just remember, when you get frustrated with your puzzle, remember how long and hard you worked to get the pieces together that fit... It would be a shame to rip them all apart and put them back in the box... Look forward to the end product, it WILL be worth it!!!!!

So Kenny decided we should go to Cottonwood, we got there looked in 10 more stores, and finally ended up in Bloom... Haha Kenny went around picking out shirts for me to try on, I picked out shirts for me to try on and I ended up getting like 9 shirts or something like that...

Superbowl 43....

So I guess I'm gonna try this blogging thing out. Where to start :) I guess the most recent thing in my life was Superbowl 43... Can you believe we have had 43 Superbowls?? Haha and I have been alive not even for half of them... Steelers vs. Cardinals.... I was definitely pulling for the Cardinals. Kurt Warner has an amazing story. How he met his wife, his son, his life before NFL. It all really is amazing. Haha and I guess he is a good quarterback :) But anyways Superbowl Sunday isn't really about football is it?? lol. It's more about spending time with family and eating way too much food, kinda like Thanksgiving... And that's exactly what I did. I got to spend time with my family... We ate way too much junk, hot wings, bbq wings, homemade cinnimon rolls, chips, con queso... THEN Kenny made fajitas and we had frontier tortillas and let me tell you, you can't eat just one of those, even if you are completely stuffed...


I don't know if any of you had the 3D glasses for after the 2nd quarter but it was pretty cool when the paddle ball jumped completely out of the screen... and yes we ALL wore our glasses :)


I guess other then that all I have been up to is school, school and school... More to come, stay tuned :)
