The last few days have been so muggy that when I come home and look out my window it looks like it has been raining. (I stole this picture idea from Lynilu) When I first moved into my cozy little apartment I was worried that the wall a/c unit would not keep me cool enough in the summer. Much to my surprise it does so well in keeping it cool that often times I turn it off when I get home in the evenings. The fact that my apartment is also kind of a basement apartment and faces the north helps a lot with the afternoon heat. When I was looking through my old pictures looking for a good snow picture, I found myself so happy that I was no longer in my house. I had no idea how much anxiety the house was causing me.Last night when I got home and it was so hot outside I started thinking about Minnesota and how much I love the summers there. It's been 18 years since I have spent a summer there, but I still remember it like it was yesterday. I have always had this dream of moving to Minnesota, but never knew how that dream would become a reality. Well, last night I decided to look at jobs in Northern Minnesota and found one in Grand Rapids. This is the little town where Camp Mishawaka is and I would do anything to move there. My Dad's parents lived in an even smaller town Northwest of there called Outing. Anyway, so this job is for a social worker and I called them this morning to see if the job was still open. Unfortunately the deadline for getting your resume in was last week. Darn.
A year ago I was more then ready to move out of Kansas City and I still think there is a huge part of me that needs to move up North. Last year I had no reason to stay in Kansas City, a year later things are a little different. I have a job that I absolutely love, I have co-workers that have become some of my closest friends, I have other friends that would be hard to leave and even though I don't talk to my family, they are still here. I keep telling myself that if I am meant to move to Minnesota it will all work out exactly the way it's suppose to.
Tomorrow is the big day and today I was actually excited about quitting again.

I love the picture. It's great! And I agree...what is meant to be will happen and come together. If you want to move there then looking for a job seems like the natural first step.
Good luck tomorrow!
That's SSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO far away!!!!!!
I grew up in Bemidji and while it would be fun to have a pal in northern MN, since the fam all live in our around the cities now, I would only visit you in the summer. -:)
Keep putting out feelers, if it's meant to be it will happen.
if you like snow could come up to northwest pa lots and lots of snow in the winter
If it's going to happen it will. Love the picture...Mary
