“It really was a miracle that things just worked and fell into place, ... I feel like there was a reason why things happened in the way they did. It wasn't just happenstance.”
Aron Ralston



i watched this movie yesterday. i liked it. this quote isn't from the movie, perhaps it's from the book, but wherever it's from, i absolutely believe it. whether the things that take place in my life are happy, sad, good, or bad, i truly rely on the fact that they happened for a reason. i don't always understand the reason, but i know there is one, so i just try to go with it and make it work. i don't always "make the best of it" but i get by.

karen stopped by yesterday (for a reason.) she made matt and me laugh. that felt better than the sunshine we soaked up in the backyard. i don't think she reads my blog, but thanks karen!

challenge: when you go out on adventures, always leave a note or let someone know where you're going. duh.
