Garret and I have spent the last two weeks traveling, do nothing but study/work, travel again. We have gotten to spend some time with people who are really important to us. Last night while driving back to our apartment, we both agreed that we felt like we were coming home. It was strange feeling like Colorado was home, after spending time in two places that I once called home: Oregon and California. I agree with my friend Juliann who tells me it is the people who make it home. I felt at home spending time with my family and being with my friends Jessica and Melissa and then driving through the green-belt last night, I felt at home with Garet and because we were returning to home Maria and Kristin and Betsy, Andy, Mercy and Eden.
We both long so badly to live in community with the people we care about. Being with these people, however, I question whether or not anyone wil commit to creating this with us. Everyone, including G and I, has established a life for themselves. Now, as I think about graduating, Garret and I contemplate how we can make this community a reality. It looks like it might just be the two of us. Does anyone else what to create this with us. And then I stop and think, and I realize that to some degree we have already started this, we our own neighbors here in Colorado. My thoughts continue to turn...how I want to know what Garret is thinking. I want him to be able to participate in a church community and to be supported in his ideas. Can that happen here?

I think that maybe our interests can coincide with living by each other. Its just a matter of making that happen. Its hard when there are so many people and so many different paths. I miss you. I don't know what the answer is.
