Wild World

So, I know I should hold off on giving you guys "peeks" at the Twins Halloween Costumes..but I just can't. If you know me well..If I get an idea in my head I have to run with it and do it RIGHT away. My supervisor at work likes this trait in me, but sometimes it drives me crazy inside.

You guys are crazy and wild..just like the world we live in that is for sure. I am happy though about our new home. It was much more "wild" in the big city and knowing I am raising you away from the Metro and closer to Family makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I know some people thought "Mandy living out of Minneapolis?"... She won't like it, she will hate it, etc. I don't know if these people understand the first 18 years of my life I grew up in Rochester, MN and Ostrander, MN. Now Rochester is MUCH larger than Ostrander but I can live this small town life. St. Cloud is 15 min from me and is about the size of Rochester, just a tad smaller (20,000 People Smaller). Then after those 18 years I moved to Mankato for 4 years..that is a college town the size of St. Cloud roughly.

I know I will miss parts of the big city, but going for the weekend to visit friends will be so FUN! See I didn't really get to go out when we lived there anymore due to lack of babysitters. I mean who can I trust with you crazy wild babies?

So lastnight you guys went to bed at 7pm and I went into "town" aka St. Cloud to get somethings at Target and check out their Mall Finally!


The only thing I need to get used to is the drive from St. Cloud back home at 9pm. I am NOT on an interstate with bright lights. I am on County Road 2..and it seems SO DARK TO ME. I just felt like I was driving a black tunnel lastnight and not knowing what was in front of me made me feel weird. Pretty sure I will start to hit Deer now that I live out here.... I had my BRIGHTS on and everything and I felt really lost...

I know you kids will LOVE this neighborhood. It is packed full of families, babies, kids, dogs, etc...
