This is the meaning of success. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

This was at a wedding in my home town. Just seven weeks earlier, I had finished my masters degree, moved from Saskatoon to Regina, and started my job at SaskTel Mobility. Big changes. I wasn't dating anyone at the time, and I didn't start seeing Neil until eight months later. For the first time in over six years, I lived relatively close to my home town and saw my family and friends who lived there more often. It was a fun, care-free time in my life.
