"Home"

I am currently at my parents house in good old Shoreview, MN. It feels so weird to be visiting my own house. But I am encouraged by the feelings I have. I am happy to be home and glad to see everyone again but I can not wait to return to my new apartment in Burbank. Slowly but surely, Los Angeles has become home in my mind and now I miss it more than I missed Minnesota in August. It's a strange feeling leaving home to visit "home".

My prayer these next 3 weeks is that I can live in the moment and enjoy my time here without being distracted by thoughts of sunny California or the friends I have there. "Keep your concentration here and now where it belongs", as Qui-Gon Jinn once said. Before I know it, I'll be on a plane back to CA and missing my friends and family here again.

If you read this, I hope I'll see you sometime during these 3 weeks! Let the games begin!
