Bridal Shower!

*The above photo is NOT the actual bridal shower invitation!
I just finished collecting the addresses for the invites, and will be mailing them out today and tomorrow. Be looking for them in the mail, and save the date! May 31!
I'm SO excited to be throwing my sister's shower! (Can't wait to throw a baby shower!!) I hope it's tons of fun, and I hope my house is big enough to squeeze everybody in!

Mother's Day at Heather & Eli's

R.I.P. 05-18-07

Ever since Grandpa died, I find myself asking questions. Not only of death and the never-ending question of why it had to happen because those are answers that I already know, as much as I don't want to. I find myself asking why I didn't let myself believe that his time was coming, so that I could get to know him better and listen more to his life experiences and learn from them. I feel that Grandpa grew old before I had the chance to grow up. I've learned that life is not always full of easy answers, and sometimes there is no answer.

Grandpa always has been, and always will be, a huge part of my life.

I love you Grandpa, forever and ever. You'll always be with me.

It broke our hearts to lose you

But you didn't go alone

A part of us went with you

The day God took you home.

A million times we missed you

A million times we cried

If love could have saved you

You never would have died.

To the grave we travel

The flowers placed with care

No one knows the heartache

As we turn to leave you there.

If tears could build a stairway and

Heartaches could make a lane

We would walk a path to Heaven

And bring you back again.
