Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up in a casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.

Summer

It has been a long two months. Too long. I've gone through a range of emotions.....feeling useless, awkward, sad, depressed, happy, excited, anxious just to name a few. I think it's all due to the adjustment from going from working non-stop Monday through Friday (sometimes into Saturday) and being busy on the weekends too, to doing absolutely nothing and being bored out of my mind. I like my down-time, but I only like it so much. I want to be productive. I want to be useful. I don't like it when I feel like I'm not contributing anything. 

But it's been a good summer regardless! I've gotten to reunite with my family and with my friends, and that has been wonderful. Being able to go to Chesley's wedding was a highlight! I had a lot of fun that weekend and it was so good to be able to see her get married. Here is Chelsey and Roger at the altar:

This made everyone laugh once they knelt down....unknown to Roger:
Me and the beautiful bride at the reception:

Everyone reunited again!! Courtney, Laura, Amanda, Li Yin and Me:


I wish we all lived in the same city again!

Next wedding: Li Yin!! :) Cannot wait.
