I am so blessed to be friends with Jenna. I need a friend who can say "Do you want to go on an adventure?" when she knows I've had a really rough few week. Even better is when my positive response leads to "Great! I know a cool bridge we can see! It's in Minnesota."
So on Tuesday night at 4:49pm, Jenna and I drove her trusty little silver Nissan all the way to Red Wing, MN and back. It was filled with so much laughter, good conversations, and spontaneous wanderings. I am incredibly blessed by my friendship with Jenna. Last year at this time, we had just started to become somewhat of friends. And by that I mean I was no longer terrified that she would fire me as MC for large group. Our friendship was slow, gaining trust was even slower. Even last semester, Jenna still held the role of mentor in my life. It wasn't until this semester really that we've started to become seriously good friends. Usually our time together consists of really honest conversations in booths in Davies, local coffee shops (we are so cliche it's painful), and driving around the backroads of Wisconsin. One of the things I am most grateful for in my relationship with Jenna is her openness. This girl is willing to drop anything to come rescue me, talk with me, or even just run an errand for me, but this isn't what I appreciate most about her friendship. I appreciate that I can be open with her and she is open with me. She shares what is on her heart and she lets me see the REAL Jenna. She asks me to pray for her. She texts me when she needs reminders of truth. She affirms me when I'm doing a good job of caring for her. Man oh man, I am grateful for this friend of mine.

I'm guessing I'll have it all figured out by the time I turn 30.
