Poignancy

"I think if you like somebody you have to tell them.
It might be embarrassing to say it, but you will never regret stepping up.
I know from personal experience, however, that you should not keep telling a girl that you like her after she tells you she isn't into it.
You should not keep riding you bike by her house either."

My mom gave me Blue Like Jazz for Easter after I mentioned it a couple of times to her about what I'd heard about it. Luke was certainly dead-on in his reviews of Donald Miller--it's spectacular. That quote is one of my favorites, especially that last part. (:

So, Levi and Danielle's wedding was on Saturday. It was really beautiful, as was her dress. Ha. It was nice to see everyone together, too: Melissa showed up literally as the wedding was beginning and all of the college kids and some we don't normally see came. It was a good time; they're going to be very happy together.

And Sunday was Mother's Day. My brother's AP Physics teacher, Mr. Kindt, takes star trail photos, and he gave some that were in a gallery out to his AP students. My brother picked one up that had these illuminated buttes in Utah at the bottom of the picture and the stars above. It was very pretty. Before the wedding on Saturday we went to Hobby Lobby and had it framed. She loved it. She says it might take a while till she actually hangs it up (hah!), but she was very happy. My brother and I made her hamburgers and french fries, and I baked up some strawberry shortcake. It tasted fabulous, if I do say so myself. My mom said it was all she could have asked for for Mother's Day. I suppose we get a thumbs up, then.

That's all that's really new here, I think.
Hope all of your Mother's Day went as smoothly as mine. (;

Have good weeks, loves.
