Never realised how much i missed MN until i left it. But what do you expect, i was a 22 year old single guy looking to party and have fun when i came down here, but i am coming back to MN a 27 year old with a Fiance and a Son looking for things to slow down so i can enjoy my son growing up.

The biggest shock of moving to California has been the pace of life here is WAY too fast. You turn your head for one second and the life catches up.

its weird how this place draws you back and keeps you around. I'm baffled at why i'm still here.

It will be good to have you back Tom. I think the same in that part of me wishes I could move back to Decorah to raise our little girl in our hometown, too slow down and enjoy it more.

Re: 17 more days...

Re: 17 more days...
 

Definitely. im sure i will be at the weekly meets with my FORD :banned2: . LOL.
It turns out we are going to live with my sister for a couple weeks then probebly take the house in woodbury that we all really liked.
We are using PODS for out mover, So far i really like it, They dropped of a container and we are packing it up, and they are going to move it to MN, and drop it at my sisters and we can use the container to store out stuff for a full month before we have to return it (or else pay 199/month) So we will be keeping out stuff packed away until we make our move to the final destination. :)
See you all next week!

We made it. What a crazy drive.
A couple experiences i would like to share:
1. We stayed overnight in Green River, UT. Where i had the worst Chili berger in my life. Absolutely no seasoning on the chili. i could taste the calories though. When it says "Truckers Favorite" on the menu, it isn't necessarily a good thing.
2. In Frisco Nebraska, We went to burger king "BK Lounge" Ordered from the menu and when we pulled up to the window, the window opened and a cockroach flew onto the lady at the window, she then proceeded to brush it off back at us which hit our truck and fell on the ground. While she was getting our food we noticed a shit load of bugs dead on the shelf under the window. Talk about gross. I ate about two bites of the burger and threw it out because i kept thinking about the bugs.

Other than that it was a long freakin drive, i got to visit a fellow dsmer friend ("Project 2g") in Littleton, CO. Which was nice to see my SCM61 being put to good use. :)

Anyways, I am now a Minnesotan again. Woot. Its good to be breathing clean air again.
