Two Stoney Acres: April's Wedding Shower

Fav Quote

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts, too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin. ~anonymous

April's Wedding Shower - May 22, 2011

Jesse's niece, April, is getting married in June. Her mom and bridesmaids hosted a wedding shower today. And just let me tell you - no one puts out a better spread than Jesse's sister, Sandy. There were sandwiches, bologna & cheese, many different kinds of fruit, and pasta salad. It was all very good!

This is the bridal party - April is 3rd from the right. Melissa, 2nd from right, is April's sister and the matron of honor. The 1st on the right is Sara, our nephew Levi's wife. 2nd from the left is our nephew Mike's wife, Mandy. And 3rd from the left is Cristy, April's oldest sister.

Denise, wife of Jesse's brother Jim, always makes a handcrafted wedding photo album for the brides in the family. They are so beautiful!

It's a family tradition to take the bows from the gifts and make a hat for the bride to wear. April looks cute even in the goofy hat!

Motivation

Don't think of retiring from the world until the world will be sorry that you retire. I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drives into a corner, who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark.
Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)

Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

In the end, we decide if we're remembered for what happened to us or for what we did with it.
Randy K. Milholland

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work. You don't give up.
Anne Lamont

Inspiration

I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, but it comes from within. It is there all the time. ~ Anna Freud (1895 - 1982)

A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him. ~ Soren Kierkegaard

Advice to young women from Nancy and Ann Wilson, of the rock group Heart (as printed in the 09/19/10 Parade magazine):
Nancy: There's a great deal of pressure on young women to portray a hyper-sexualized image.
Ann: And I think they get told that if they do that they're going to be successful. When, in actuality, if they look like pole dancers, all they do is make themselves more disposable. So be true to yourself.
