Keepin' Busy

Since I moved to Arizona I have suffered through a completely new environment, lifestyle, climate, job, friends, no family etc. I have kept myself extremely busy to keep my mind off being homesick.  To my surprise, it has worked rather well.  I am now participating in a plethora of activities.  These include: training for a marathon, ballet class, institute, institute choir, ward choir, Chandler Symphony, rock climbing, pool (billiards) and jigsaw puzzles.  Since I've moved here I have put together 4 big puzzles.  I had help on 2.3 of them from my good friend Rachel (visiting from Omaha) but I still think its an amazing feat.  Unfortunately, I neglected to take pictures of the first 2.  I have, however, taken pictures of their boxes just so you can see what I've been up to.

 This was the first one I put together and probably the hardest.

 
This one was done with the assistance of my friend Rachel (750 pieces)



Rachel helped sort the pieces. There were 1500 total.

 
This one was the same brand as 2nd one up above.  It was 750 pieces.


And you know a puzzle has satisfied your puzzle crave when you can pick them up!

Hey! At least I don't have a gizzilion cats!  Perhaps I'll make another trip to Wal-mart this coming weekend...
