...We're Northbound


I had to take this photo. This is seriously a road important enough for a big sign. Awesome.

Our little mapster on our house hunting trip

Trevor accepted a new position within his company in June.
It's a good move for his career and he should have more flexibility with his out of town scheduling (though he will still be out of town quite a bit. 45% travel). He is excited for the new opportunity and experience: WE are SO proud of him!!

And...with the new job...comes a new place to call home:



By mid-July we will be living in Minnesota!


For the third summer in a row, we are moving to a new state
and just like last year--this move is fast & furious!

We took a whirlwind trip up to the Twin Cities to find a place to live.
Prayers were answered & in two days we found the perfect spot--close the airport, Church, shopping, and not far from BOTH (Minneapolis & St. Paul) downtowns.

The house is a duplex--complete with a fenced yard and finished basement.
 It seems to be just the right place for us!

We are sad to leave our Chicago home, friends, & fun places.
Saying goodbye is NEVER fun.
But we are thrilled for the new adventure that awaits us in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.


If you'd like our new address, leave a comment with your email & I'll send it to ya.



P.S. Did you know:
-60% of MN residents live in the metro area of the Twin Cities
-MN is known as a center of American Scandinavian culture
-MN is ranked first in the % of residents who engage in regular excercise


-MN has no sales tax on clothes, shoes, or food items for home consumption

Yes - we would love your address! Too bad Michigan didn't have anything to offer Trevor :(
But I am excited for your move - I am sure you will easily find new adventures waiting for you.
Safe travels!

Ah, I can't see your pictures! They're not showing up on this post or the Chicago Meet-Up post!

I did NOT know those things about MN; awesome! We'll definitely want your new address :)

How exciting for your family! I admire your ability to easily and happily move - I'm not sure I'd be good at that.
