We always say home is where the heart is but sometimes a person's heart just keeps traveling on back to the same old place! To me, Minnesota is home for sure. No doubt. Love it. Could live here my whole life. Vacations for sure, but always come back. There's a few other places I'd want to/be okay with living in ex: Anywhere as a missionary, Illinois/Chicago area, North Dakota, Nebraska, Montana... and the big one. SOUTH DAKOTA! I love that place! That really is the place my heart is getting home sick for right now even though I've never lived there (we almost moved to Sioux City but then ended moving here a year later!) but I've been there a million times and that's where most of my family is.
South Dakota

A million stars at night
Crazy mid-summer thunder storms
A pot of coffee always going
Hot humid summers
Pick-up Trucks
Country on the radio
Hot-dishes and jello salads
Deep Snow every winter
Meeting up with friends or relatives for coffee
Warm quilts
Cool houses
Nick's Hamburgers
Trips to HyVee and Walmart
(Because they're the only two grocery stores in town.)
Relatives coming in constantly
Hours of conversation a phone call and doorstep away
Laughs and Hugs
Taking 10 minutes to get all the way across town
Bugs everywhere in the summers
(but hey, that's Minnesota too...)
Staying up late watching tv with my Grandma
Laughing with my aunts
Seeing my counsins' kids running around
Drives out in the country
Going to Ward for dinner
(but if you pass the grain elevator you've missed the whole town)
Seeing my family all the time
Hearing North and South Dakotan/Minnesotan Accents all the time (:
Being related to half the people we end up talking to
Catching up on reading
The Kelo Land News
The
And of course more coffee.
I miss it! Where's home for you all?
