“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the 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, impenetrable, irredeemable.”
C.S. Lewis
So nothing in particular that I want to write about tonight, just some things that have made me happy this week.
1. I finished my picnic quilt! And we already had a wonderful picnic on it for my birthday!
2. My mom has a wonderful garden. I love it!! And this week I have enjoyed eating things from it. My favorite things to eat from it are the raspberries and the sweet peas. So yummy!
3.Yesterday I went to a triathalon. Trin participated in it. She is definitely a hero of mine! This is something that I would like to do.I had been thinking about doing a half marathon for awhile, and this actually seems more exciting! The marathon consists of swimming 500 meters. Then they bikefor 12 1/2 meters and run 3 1/2 miles at the end. The biking is the only one that I would really worry about.
4. Speaking of bikes, mom is going to buy me a new one! yay! So we tested out bikes on Thursday, but I still need to look around a bit. I’m not sure what would be best.
5. I have felt content being by myself and not doing 2000 things at once for the first time since getting home from my mission. I think it is a good sign. Not feeling so restless, and feeling a little more content with myself and my life. I still feel I have a ways to go, but I might just possibly be heading in the right direction!
Pink Popcorn!
Next we decided to make lemonade. Before had I did a little preperation and made some fun ice cubes. I froze mint leaves and begonia petals in an ice cube tray. It was a fun little extra for our homemade lemonade.
Next is some pictures of the nephews.

Do you think he liked it?
I think I like pictures because they say it better than I can.
Then we had a barbeque!!! It was wonderful. And we spread out a blanket and ate in the shade in our yard. I had to jump on the tramploline with the boys in between bites.
We just relaxed and enjoyed eachothers company and then ended the day with fireworks. And no one was injured! A successful day!
