Holidazzle

I went to the Holidazzle parade for the first time this year. I was quite the experience. We waited almost two hours in the cold to see a thirty minute parade. Even though that does not seem enjoyable at all, it really was. After being away from Minneapolis for over seven years, I have fallen in love with it again. As my sisters and I walked around, I soaked in the beauty this wonderful city has to offer.

I was born in Minneapolis and lived there for eleven years. I am not the city girl I once was. I have lived in the country too long. I am used to knowing everyone in our small town. I lost my library cards years ago, but I do not need it because the librarians know my name and where I live. When going to a store, I never lock my car door. When walking across the street, I never look both ways. When driving around I wave at all the cars I pass because chances are good that I know them.

Even though I have started to become a country girl, I am really excited to go to college in the cities. Going to the Holidazzle parade has confirmed my love for the cities.

City girl at heart,

Emily
