Love makes a house a home.

If you would have told me a year ago that I would be living in a town of about 370ish people, I’d have said you were on crack. 

I grew up in Bloomington. Population around 86,000. I thrive on the hustle and bustle of “The Big City” aka Minneapolis. Whenever I’d go to camp every summer, I couldn’t sleep the first night because it was so quiet. Silent. There was no traffic. No planes flying overhead. No tv noises. 

I love city life. Where I lived in Eden Prairie, it was a five minute drive to just about anything; Target, Cub Foods, Walmart, Caribou, Home Depot, McDonald’s, Applebee’s, a shopping mall, movie theater, etc. Want Papa John’s? Go online and order! I went to Target three times in one day because I was baking and didn’t have the right ingredients!! 

8 months ago, I was talking to this guy. “You live in Fairhaven?? Where the heck is THAT??!” (20 minutes south of St Cloud, fyi) “Wait. It takes how long to go to Target and back?!” I was appalled. 😂 

4 months later, I traded in my 5 minute Target runs for 25 minute ones, and now this hangs by our door. 💗💗💗
