One of my 101 list goals was to do a 500 piece puzzle by myself. I'm not a huge puzzle person, as they kind of frustrate me at times. But I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it.
My roommate (Karen) knew about the goal and when she saw a 500 piece puzzle of Brigham City when she was at the DI one day, she knew it was perfect for me. My mom grew up there and my grandparents still live there. So it was fun for me to work on. Definitely took a while for me, but I survived. And I loved that feeling of accomplishment.
Also... thank you, Karen, for letting me take over the kitchen table for a couple of weeks as I worked on it. You're the best. :-)
