Good Things To Remember

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel!
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You have to agree that you are 'less' and that someone else is 'more' to feel inferior. If you don't agree, you cannot possibly feel inferior. You might know something less, or you might be able to do something less, but you ARE unique and hence simply incomparable.... Do not buy into being reduced to an object of comparison."

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brillant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Gas Rodeo Anniversary

Since Ryan and I first started talking at the gas rodeo in 2004, we make sure we go every year to celebrate our 'Anniversary.' For the past few years Ryan has even competed in it. It is so fun to go and watch and the one on June 2nd 2007 was even more fun. Ryan had a HUGE fan club. His entire family came to watch and so did mine! Ryans dad even brought along his camera and took pictures of the whole event!
Ryan is a PRO on the backhoe (that is what's it's called right?)! At the rodeo, they have to pick up an egg with a tablespoon and drop it in a bucket. Ryan is always soooo quick and doesn't have any trouble at all. Everyone always compliments him on his skill!
This rodeo was extra special for us.... it was just one week before we got married! So we celebrated our anniversary at the place where it all started and got married the following week. Thanks Jeff for taking all the pictures for us! What great memories!

Way to go Laura on graduating, I'm way proud and jealous of you! Where is your house at? I can't blame you on the kitchen, I love the cabinets!
