so, i'm in minneapolis right now...
actually at this exact moment, i'm sitting in my car in uptown, borrowing the internet from one of my favorite coffee shops in the entire world...
see, i'm too cheap to buy something...and i think it'd be rude to take up a chair, use the internet....AND not purchase anything...so i'll sit here...
so, i'm in minneapolis. my little sister is moving to college, the college i just graduated from, in fact, and it's so weird to be here. here's why:
last year, i was in leadership....like i hold a master key to the world leadership...and while not a lot of people knew me, i knew a lot of people. most of my friends were still going to school, and the place represented everything that was beautiful to me. relationships, learning, growing, you know...that good stuff. and now...here i am and i don't know more than 10% of the people i've been seeing for the past few days. most of my friends have graduated...and if they haven't...this is their year to be in 'i hold the master key to the world' leadership....so, they're really busy. so, i'm sitting here waiting to hang out with someone...there are a few people who i really want to see that have graduated....but they're busy too....my best best friends have all moved away from minneapolis...so i can't just call them up and go get....chipotle or redbox or tickets to a fabulous concert in town...
i guess all this to say...i think being in omaha is good for me. the changes i'm facing there are exciting...i'm really chasing my dreams...and since i'm not here in minneapolis, i don't have anything to mope about...cause everyone is a million miles away...
...and oddly it's easier to have people a million miles away from omaha while i'm there than it is to have them a million miles away from minneapolis while i'm here....
hmmm...growing up....

Jess....this was a very insightful blog post...thank you for sharing...i feel the same exact way every time i go back....
I think you make some very good points about growing up.
I wonder if we ever stop "growing up?"
And in response to one of you comments on my blog...we may actually need a worship pastor soon. Don't rule it out. Though, after reading about their little prank, I'm not sure if I would so graciously promote them...but I would love to have you here.
Geez, I sure love you.
