Does always feel like what I guess a family dinner should feel like. Joe and Casey will be leaving at some point this year, which may mean Kyla will be going with them. I know I only see them once or twice a week but there is something about having them around that enriches not just my life but also Sid's. I haven't felt as close to anyone as I feel to some of these kids in years and I am glad that they are part of my life. I will miss them when they move to Iowa City but they'll always be around as I know how the ICT is and how in draws you back sometimes.
8 days till Bjorn is here. The time has moved fast if I think about the fact that I was just there last week and he'll be here next week. I have spent time wondering what he'll think of my home, because that is what it is in more way than I can admit. My history is here. Once, Ian said my roots are deep in Wichita, which they are, there is no doubt about that, bit I also know that soon, sooner than I can really see, it will be time to pull those up. There is no growth left here for me. I will need more if I am to ever fully become whatever it is I am suppose to become. I have no idea where that place is yet: China, New Orleans, Denver, Iowa City, Tulsa, Berlin. I can see myself in so many places right now. I am enjoying the possibilities in front of me. It is more exciting and so very necessary.
