Twins Game

We went to a Twins baseball game.  I don't typically love baseball but I am always up for the experience!  It was a lot of fun.  We rode a train to the Target Field.  Public transportation is one of my favorite things, even though I feel like I need to bathe right after.  I could definitely be a professional people watcher and trains are the best place to do that.



Our seats weren't way close to the field but we had a great view where we could see everything.  The only downside is we needed some shade!  It was so hot. Don't worry I bathed in sunscreen every three minutes and so did Robert so we didn't fry. Robert almost melted though. We were so sweaty.


Check out that sky line!
The the Twins played the Astros, and the Astros slaughtered the Twins. Rough game.  We did try bought some $50.00 Garlic Fries and $100.00 Hot Dogs, Who ever invented concessions is a genius! That place must pay the athletes wage! The food was good though. I think the atmosphere makes it taste better.

It was fun going to the game and they had some really nice plays.  Plus I got to spend time with Robert which makes anything better.


Some other things that have been going on this past week...

I signed up for a hot yoga class with my friend Meghan.  It has been a lot of fun I had no idea that yoga could be such a great work out.  I have never sweat so much in my life. They heat the room to 105 degrees to help improve your flexibility and help you sweat out toxins.  Lets just say it sounded like a faucet was leaking through out the room with all the dripping.  I like it a lot.

Robert did really well this week and his guys that he brought out are starting to catch on as well.  All in all it has been a great week.  We are loving our adventure!

Love you all!

The Twin Cities

Well we finally decided to get internet. I am thrilled because I can finally catch up on my TV shows (The Bachelorette yes I love the drama of it, Bones, The 100, etc.), I don't have to risk going over on my data again, and I am able to blog.

So a little update for everyone.  This Summer Robert's job with Vivint has taken us to the beautiful state of Minnesota.  Right before I left everyone was telling me how beautiful it was here.  However, when we first got here I didn't think that it was that pretty, Seattle and Portland last year far surpassed.  Turns out they had just had an extremely cold and long winter and its May's extreme showers, thunder, and lightening that bring June flowers. It is so pretty here everything is really green and full, and they aren't kidding about the land of 10,000 lakes.  The temperature stays pretty nice but due to all the rain it is quite muggy and humid, and the mosquitoes are awful, bug repellent is a staple just like deodorant.  I also feel bad for all the guys on the team. They have had to knock in the pouring rain quite frequently. In fact one of the guy's car engine got flooded and he got stranded in the area he was knocking.


We live in a place called Eden Prairie. It's a really nice area in a great location! You can walk to Walmart and lots of other stores which is bonus for me because Robert has our car the majority of the time. Our apartment complex is pretty nice. We are living in an apartment that is designed for wheelchair access which is odd.  all out lets are two feet from the ground and the light switches are located three feet from the ground. This took some getting use to especially when you got up to go to the restroom in the middle of the night and couldn't find the light switch on the wall.  The front door has two peep hole one up high and one in the middle of the door, and you could comfortably sit under the stove and sinks with a chair.  We don't have a tub.  Just a roll in shower.  Its pretty spacious for the two of us though and we like it.  We are just grateful that we are here together versus last summer where I just flew back and forth.  I don't know how we did that!

Here is a tour of our place out here!

We love you all and miss everyone!
