As many of you know the Midwest (and much of the rest of the country) is undergoing a freak heat wave. We were lucky enough to be moving in the middle of it this passed weekend. Saturday afternoon we arrived in Rochester to unload our moving truck in 100+ degrees. I heard on the news this morning that yesterday's temp was 115 when you factor in the heat index- SICK! Let me state for the record that Arizona's heat IS A DRY HEAT and much more bearable than this Midwest summer!
Despite the heat we are settling into our new house and area very well. Rochester is around 120,000 people which seems po-dunk next to the Twin Cities, which boasts a population of over 2 million, but I really like this town. It has most everything you need and nothing is very far away. Matt has traded in a 25 mile drive (one way) to work for a 3 mile drive. Our new home sits in the southwest side of the city with many stores close by and countryside not much further away. This town is very manageable and the area is very pretty with many hills and trees. I think I could get used to here...

I can't wait to come and visit you and Matt in your new house!!!! So when are you trading your Arizona residency for Minnesota residency? Ha! Ha! Plus who would ever want to move when the best state fair in the country is right in MInnesota? I cant wait to go there with you two and Steven, trust me Matt you won't want to leave after that!!!
