my Minnesota bucket list!

We are going to Minnesota tonight!!  We are visiting W's parents and visiting our old home.

I can't explain it, but I'm so excited to be going.  I had a very hard time visiting Minnesota with the house fiasco.  With all of it unresolved and so very stressful, I had a hard time facing Minnesota. I'm thankful for God's timing that has made all this come together at the same time.

And we're going!

We are going to see beautiful leaves at the arboretum-or what's left of them!
We are going to the Cheesecake Factory! It's a must! I may even go twice. gasp!
We are going to soak up grandparent time!
We are going to the zoo! Minnesota has a great FREE zoo!
I get to have lunch with my dear work friends!!
We are going to church to see friends too numerous to count!
We are going to eat cheese curds!
We are going to walk around the University of Minnesota and Lake Harriet!
We may even go to the Mall of America! (been there, done that but it's a good stop)
We are going to buy sales-tax-free clothes!
We are going to drive by our house, cry a bit, collect our lawnmower and snow shovel and sigh a huge sigh of relief.

I have no idea what happened, I tried to post a comment and it put it in there like 11 times, so I tried to delete it. I'm little worried trying again!

Ah...we miss these things about Minnesota, too!! The Fall season is so gorgeous there and we miss apple picking and all the colors. Thanks for reading my blog. Sorry for venting about homeschooling conversations ;) You know, I have thought about personalities clashing a lot, because sometimes it has happened some with my oldest. Usually I try to change the way I am doing things and be more positive and it has been resolved, but this is a real concern. I think that if I was clashing a lot, I would seriously think about puting her back in school because our relationship is more important than schooling, I think. Good luck! I'm glad that M is liking school right now. It sounds like a great situation so that is wonderful!!
