Today, I begin blogging about the lives of 2 people living in Minnesota. One a Kansas farm girl and the other a Texas native. A little over 4 years ago we moved up here for job opportunities. Leaving family and friends behind. Thankfully my sister, brother-n-law and precious niece live close, that we can get in family fixes when needed.

We have spent some holidays by ourselves, with friends and occasionally with family when we can make it. We love where we live, the work that we do, our friends but it does make getting home a little more challenging.

In June, I was able to make a 24 hour trip home for the weekend. It would have been the first time all original 8 cousins were home at the same time in a long time. We have spread out to Texas, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, and Lithuania. We had a great get together at my aunts. Just like the old days, lots of food, swimming, and great family time. We even got a great photo with Mimi and all of her grand kids. That day is one to remember!

Our next get together with family will be a trip to the Dells in Wisconsin and then a family reunion back in Kansas. Otherwise, our lives a hardly what you would call exciting.
