The rest of the summer is going to be really busy. Those close to me know that idleness isn't good for roz. I find myself wistful, I get lost in my thoughts and I go shopping.

I suppose it's a good thing to be idle. I've moved up from a size 0 to a size 2. Maybe I'll be back up to a size 4 or 6 in the next 6 mo.

I've decided what I want to wear for my wedding. No, I'm not getting married. That can't be farther on the horizon. But I've decided. My hair lightly waved with white ribbon wrapped around grecian style. The veil somehow attached gracefully, I haven't thought about it much. Wedding dress similar to reese witherspoon (haahaa, reese with her spoon, haahaahaa), with a strapless gown with delicate georgette/sheer shoulder straps almost like cap sleeves. An ivory instead of pure white (i'm dark and it fits my skin tone. plus I don't want my teeth to look yellow as a stark contrast to my dress). A-line skirt with a shorter train. Not satin. Perhaps silk so that it flows and shimmers. Not too full of a skirt, but slightly A-line, not sheathed. Maybe some ribbon embellishment (grecian style again) low around the waist joining in the bustle. 1.5-2in heels, a pair of shoes that I'd get on sale, something I'd be able to wear over again. Makeup, natural but accentuating the eyes more. Hair, less styling the better. I wouldn't want anyone to get their hand stuck in some styling goo in my hair. And this paragraph is more detailed than expected. Probably freaked some of the male species out, but whatever. I'm a girl, I think about these things, get over it.

I've always wanted to live in a house with hardwood floors and bay windows. There's a lot of those in San Francisco. goodie.

I'm really excited for the next 2 months. So many new memories to be made, so many opportunities to serve the God that has taken care of me. SO MANY PICTURES!!!!
