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."

Baby Shower, Baby Shower, and SURPRISE, one more Baby Shower!

Thanks to our family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, our little girls closet is FULL!! When all was said and done we had three showers! Unbelievable!

The first shower was on April 18th and was given by my sisters and moms! I think pretty much during the whole pregnancy I would tell Ryan "I do NOT want a shower!" For some reason I have the hardest time when the spotlight is on me. My mom and sisters asked a couple times if they could have one so I agreed. I did have a really good time and it was fun to spend the time with everyone! Thanks Jolie, Tawnie, Steph, Mom and Colleen! Love you all!

The second shower was on April 25th and was given by Becca Parkinson, a neighbor and friend from our ward. I couldn't believe Becca had offered to have one because she had just had a baby about three weeks before... but she insisted, and again, we had a good time!

The third shower was a SURPRISE and was on May 2nd. It was given by my co-worker Amy Votruba. Apparently Ryan had known about this one for quite a while and had kept it from me until the night before. He was sooo worried about my reaction he thought he'd better let me prepare myself. We'll just say, the night before that one was a sleepless night!

These are a few pictures from our family shower...
