CRASH

Have you ever thought about how our lives intersect in such weird ways? I mean we'll meet someone and have no idea the significance that they'll someday play in our lives. Even if its just a small thing. Growing up in the same town for the first 20 years of my life was interesting. Our town wasn't that small, 200k, but it wasn't that big either... Anyway, it never ceased to amaze me when I'd meet someone and a few weeks later I'd see them in Albertsons or out somewhere in town. Then I'd wonder, "How many times have I passed this person before, and now I'm just realizing it..." It's just kind of weird, ya know? I'm not trying to be really deep, just thinking.

Sometimes people are in our lives for a moment, and sometimes they are there for good. On some level you have to wonder why our paths cross. Is there a reason? Even certain blogs I've read over the last few years, many people I know, some are perfect strangers. Why do I stumble across these "strangers" paths?

Ok, this is really reaching but this is where my brain went...the following quote is from Shall We Dance and its about marraige, but I wonder, whose life are we supposed to notice? Whose life are we supposed to witness...

Because we need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on this planet, I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things, all of it, all the time, everyday. You’re saying your life will not go unnoticed, because I will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed, because I will be your witness…

PS. I think I've quoted this before, but obviously it really made me think, even if it was a pretty cheesy movie.

Life is Good.

I've been wanting one of these for awhile and MD surprised me after his Costco run the other day with this:



Not only is it sooooo cool, it has truly enhanced our lives. We've gone on two extended bike rides down some gorgeous Scottsdale roads. The kids were tucked safely away- able to eat Cheezits to their hearts content. It easily converts into a jog stroller. All I can say is LOVE IT.

It truly is awesome and I don't normally rave about toys or gadgets, but now all my excuses for not getting out there to exercise are OVER.

PS. On a totally UNRELATED note...who the heck voted Mandisa off AI, and why the heck are Bucky and Ace still there???!!!!
