Minnesota vs. Yuma

Well, it's almost time to head back to Yuma to start my 5th year of teaching. To me, it's hard to believe that I have been at this for 5 years or that I moved to Yuma 5 years ago. My mom still tells me how brave I was to move 2200 miles away from home without knowing a soul. I didn't think of it as a brave act I just knew I had to do it. Call it a gut feeling, but I knew I was meant to be in Yuma. Now, looking back at it all it was the best decision I ever made. I wouldn't have met the amazing friends that I have now, grown in my teaching career or met Brandon. God knew I was meant to be there.

BUT, Minnesota will always be my home. The place that I love and the place where I want to raise our future children. I can't see raising my children in Yuma. I want my kids to grow up with what I had. Fall, flowers, snow, building snowmen, snow days, ect. I could go on and on!! I am so lucky that Brandon loves Minnesota as much as I do. He loves this place I call my birthplace.

We've been in Minnesota for almost 9 weeks and I don't want to leave. But, our home is in Yuma now and we must head back. We are not looking forward to the drive back, but this time we will be doing the drive in 4 days instead of just 2. I hope we can fit everything in the car!!
