Minnesota Trip Recap

First off, I totally wanna apologize for the last weird post. I just needed to get something up..it's been too long!!!

So I'm going to begin kinda recapping the summer in the next few posts and get up to speed with what's new and school life.

Minnesota is always seen as a safe haven and, in a way, a paradise and time capsule. I have time to reflect and visit my roots, and inevitably feel more self-assured after a vacation there.

This time, things weren't as utopian as I'd naively expected. But all in all, it was again, great to see family, friends, and the polar opposite of my trip to Brooklyn and New York City, which I'd taken a week prior. It is definitely good to slow down. It is even good to be "bored" from time to time. I feel we often don't let ourselves feel that...at least most people I know in Austin.

Here are a few photos in random order:

I love the picture of you and your dad and how you are wearing the same blue against the yellow truck. You should frame that one.
