Last weekend

It looked like this outside last weekend. . . that is slush, not snow and it froze into a good 3 inches of ice.

so we pulled out this puzzle. . .



2,000 pieces, an extra leaf in the table, 7 dinners eaten on the couch or chair, and 7 days later we finally finished the torturous thing. The deer and the bottom and the sky are all the same color and it does not look like it here but it was HUGE and hard!

Before and After

Before. . .



and After. . .
LOVE home goods!

Go Cobbers!

Went to a Concordia basketball game today.

They beat St. Ben's.

Felt good even though I am now a "has been."

Made me miss basketball.

Made me realize some things never change (Mike Durbin and the same old refs).

Made me miss listening to my dad yell at the refs.

Made me miss my teammates.

Made me miss my old coaches

Made me miss seeing my parents every weekend.

Made me miss seeing my friends everyday.

Made me miss college.

Made me think about my own team.

Made me grateful for where I am in life even if today made me miss college. . . college, not class, just college (basketball, friends everywhere every day, the library to socialize not study, no stresses, just college)
