Moving to Minnesota!

So I got my work assignment this week. I'm moving to Minnesota and I couldn't be more excited! I know for a lot of people Minnesota would be on their top 40 list of states that they want to move to or even visit, but it fits me perfectly and I love it! I love the cold winters, I love the 10,000 lakes to fish and swim in, I love the four major sports teams, I love the laid back feel of it, I just fit in there. It's a great match!

I move out there in September, so I'd love to see all of you before I go! If any of you have lived in, or been to, Minnesota, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!

Awesome Quote

So, I'm currently reading "Democracy in America" by Alexis de Tocqueville. I loved this quote from the book:

"From the time when the exercise of the intellect became a source of strength and of wealth, we see that every addition to science, every fresh truth, and every new idea became a germ of power placed within the reach of the people. Poetry, eloquence, and memory, the graces of the mind, the fire of imagination, depth of thought, and all the gifts which Heaven scatters at a venture turned to the advantage of democracy; and even when they were in the possession of its adversaries, they still served its cause by throwing into bold relief the natural greatness of man. Its conquests spread, therefore, with those of civilization and knowledge; and literature became and arsenal open to all, where the poor and the weak daily resorted for arms."

Love it!
