Two Stoney Acres: April & Shawn's Wedding

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 & Shawn's Wedding

Our niece, April Kitzmiller, married her long-time beau, Shawn Smith, on Saturday, June 25, 2011. They are a beautiful young couple and we wish them nothing but love in their future.

April's two sisters: Melissa on the left (expecting her 2nd baby in September) and Cristy, next to Melissa. All three Kitzmiller sisters are stunning young women.

Kate & Classy gave the wedding party a ride from Moreland Baptist Church to the restored Eight Square School. Muncy Historical Society was kind enough to open the school for us. The horses were wearing purple and white like the rest of the bridal party!

Jesse driving the wagon. He was a very proud uncle!

I will pass your congrats on to April & Shawn. If you stay at Renn, you'll get the next generation of Kitzmillers . . . Cristy's twin boys will turn 7 in September. Mike's daughter is 18 months old. Melissa's daughter is 1 and her son is due to be born in September. And I am sure April will not wait too long to start a family. They are all great kids and it so exciting to see their families growing!

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.
