Congratulations Jerad & Sarah!

The drive to Austin went as planned with a little extra trip pre-wedding to the local HD (pics below). My sister Deborah's youngest boy and his gorgeous wife had a beautiful ceremony and a wonderful celebration.

Dear Sarah and Jerad,
May you carry the love you feel today with you throughout your lives always.
May you have joy unspeakable to carry you through times of sorrow forever.
May you have hope, never ending hope... no matter what you face in your tomorrows.
I love you both!
Aunt Robyn

p.s. I can't wait to ride out to Denver for my visit!

My daughter is a 2009 ALD Graduate Fellowship Recipient!

Ok all... I'm one proud Mom!!! Look six names down the list below and you will see my daughter's name. This is a first for her alma mater, Albion College. They have never had a graduate receive this Fellowship award in the history of their college. She said they're going to do a press release on her!

Bethany amazes me every day with her conviction, motivation and dedication to the things she values in her life. Her family, her friends and her education are all cherished by her core. I couldn't have asked God for a daughter more loving, giving, kind and considerate who is also intelligent and a hard worker. She's the total package. I am truly blessed to be her mother...

That's my girl! :)

Love you Bethany... you make me proud every day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are you an Alpha Lambda Delta member thinking about pursuing a graduate or professional degree? Alpha Lambda Delta offers 23 Graduate Fellowships each year, ranging in value from $3,000 to $7,500.

The ALD Graduate Fellowships have been in place since 1940, and over 600 outstanding members have received awards.

To be eligible for an ALD Graduate Fellowship, you must be a member of Alpha Lambda Delta who is enrolled or will be enrolled in a graduate or professional studies program during the coming academic year. You must be enrolled or plan to be enrolled at an accredited institution within the United States to apply.

Each year National Alpha Lambda Delta awards one $7,500 fellowship, eight $5,000 fellowships and fourteen $3,000 fellowships. These fellowships have been established to help qualified members obtain graduate or professional degrees. Candidates will be considered on the basis of merit. Fellowship recipients will be announced by April 30.

ELIGIBILITY: Any initiated member of Alpha Lambda Delta who has maintained the cumulative average of Alpha Lambda Delta initiation standard (i.e., 3.5 on a 4.0 scale or the equivalent) until graduation is eligible to apply. Members graduating this year may apply if they have achieved this average at the end of the first semester (or first quarter) of the current year. In determining the average of eligibility, the decimal point must be .5 or above, and not a .49 or any other average less than .5.

Selection will be based on academic records, recommendations submitted, the applicant’s stated purpose, and campus and community activities.

Snakes Custom Cycles 2009 Easter Run 4-11-2009

Snake's run usually benefits the Shriners Hospital in Galveston every year. Due to Hurricane Ike, that hospital is closing it's doors so Snake has decided to support the San Leon Volunteer Fire Department this year.

The storm surge wiped out a lot of San Leon and devastated the facilities and equipment of the SLVFD. The run is on April 11th, 2009. Easter baskets will be given out to every child at the elementary school and the fire department will receive the proceeds.

There will be two parties held, one in a pasture near the elementary school right after the Easter Baskets are given out. The other is at Snakes shop after the run. Both parties will have bands/entertainment (FYI: There will be no alcohol served at the Pasture Festival).

Hope to see ya'll there!
