Today marked the end of 5 years spent living in Austin. It is such a
bittersweet feeling. I left one family to go to another. There is so
much about Austin that I will miss! The man standing on the bridge of
congress and 290 holding the cross after every thurs fri and sat
night! The delicious food. As many of you know I am quite opposed to
chain restaurants! I guess this means I will be saving quite a bit of
money in Lincoln, but also getting the chance to explore some
local/ethnic foods there too to find new favorite eating
establishments! I will miss the hippie/granola attitude in Austin. I
think I have been semi-converted to a granola! (Granola=recycling
fanatic, vegetarian, organic lover) but this conversion is not bad, I
actually love it and will miss the no styrofoam policy, natural foods,
and free recycling! Austin is still the home to many of my good friends and saying goodbye
to them was really hard! It is amazing how when you leave your
biological family, you form a chosen family, and leaving this family
was emotional, but I made it through and am ready for this next step
in my life. Lincoln will be great because I will be able to see my siblings,
parents and relatives so much more often! It will be an adjustment but
I think an exciting one! Moving home will also allow me to explore
Lincoln in a new way! I hope to find really great shops and cute
restaurants! I hope I actually can find what I am looking for! Leaving always bring up the questions of seeing friends again, staying
in touch and missing out on memories. But if I only thought of the
negatives I would never get anywhere. That is why I know that my
leaving is not goodbye...its see you later. And that leaving means
stories to tell and new friendships and memories to make! The last 4 months have been the most exciting, adventuresome, and
blessed of my life. My travels, memories, friendships, relationships
and personal growth will never be replaceable. I full heartedly look
forward to my next 4 months and hope that they will be as awesome. I hope that each of you who helped me along the way know that without
your support, generosity, words of encouragement and love I would not
have been able to find who I am or discover my passion! So, thank you
from the bottom of my heart and I sincerely love you. If you ever want
to take your own adventure, please let me help you in whatever way you
might need. You always have a room in good 'ole Nebraska! Thank you for reading, happy summer, tell your friends and family you
love then and... PEACE! S
