Words of wisdom...

Acknowledge the lesson, smile, and try again.

Being a mild perfectionist, I have always been someone who tries VERY hard to please everyone. 

It's just the way I am; I can't stand to let someone down, my boss, my parents, my husband, my cheerleaders.

But, in all reality, something, sometime, somewhere, will happen that will cause me to rethink everything I have done and look back to see what I could have changed, tried differently, or not done at all that would have been a better outcome. 

I struggle to let go of things.  I hang on to comments made by others that make me feel small or worthless.  My skin is thin.  My mind dwells on and almost obsesses on what I need to do to make myself better. 

The quote above is something that I need to work towards.

Not everything will work out as it seems in my head, not everyone will be happy with the decision that has been made, but that is ok.

Acknowledge the lesson is the absolute hardest for me.  Smiling...well that is easy! :-)  Trying again will be a challenge, but one that I am willing to accept and work on.

Heart and Soul Cafe-Andy serving

Andy is taking a class this semester called Food and Wellness.  When you are in this class you prepare, serve, and set up a restaurant right in the school for family and the community.  When it was Andy's turn to serve, we got to eat!

My Grandma Zeien and her sister Monica came to eat with us too!


Andy did a great job and the food was delicious!!

Des Moines Marathon

Jason ran the Des Moines Marathon in October.  This was his first time running a marathon and he was happy with his finish time.  He ran 26.2 miles in 3 hours and 35 minutes!  Way to go Jason! :)





Justin made this video for Jason!  So cool!

Scott-Singing T-Swift

Puppies!

There are still 3 puppies left at my mom and dad's house!  Any takers?

Homecoming 2011

Somehow...someway...my brother Andy got on the 2011 Nashua-Plainfield Homecoming court!  hah!  He didn't win the crown, but that is just fine.  It was nice to see him dressed up for once too! 



Here is the homecoming queen-the one that is flying in the air-yes, she is one of my cheerleaders!! :)

There is Andy, #54, playing his last Homecoming football game!  They won! :)
