Just one of the McNeils

Have you ever walked into someone's house and felt completely welcomed and comfortable?

Driving into Saint Paul, last night, I admit to the butterflies in my stomach. I feel completely vulnerable everytime I come to this city. My life changed so drastically when I moved here years ago. I have so many memories, good and bad, that come flooding back each time I drive over the Mississippi River.

I can't tell you what a balm it is to walk into the McNeil's house. I feel like it's a safe place where I can acclimate to this state of 10,000 memories so that I can emerge and walk around outside in confidence.

I have never met a more gracious family.

So, Tim, Nancy, Melissa, (Kari-even though you aren't here this visit), Alli, Cody, and Sophie, thank you from the bottom of my overflowing heart! I am so thankful to have you in my life. I feel so blessed! I love you all!
