One Year Ago

One year ago this coming Friday, I got on a plane with this crazy awesome group of people and headed for New Orleans. I originally wasn't planning on applying for, let alone actually going on the trip. But somehow, I ended up on that plane.

Throughout the few days I spent there, my heart was broken time and time again for the city and her people. I never imagined myself living in a big city. In fact, I always thought I'd end up out in the sticks.

But here I am, one year later, writing this while drinking iced tea at a local New Orleans cafe. I love living in this city. I love living with the community I live with. I'm thankful for those days spent here one year ago.
