    I'm Deb, and I've lived in Minnesota my whole life except for 3 years in the 80's when I lived in Hong Kong. I absolutely loved it there, but actually missed the snow and cold.... maybe not for quite so many months of the year, though. I grew up and went to college in Moorhead (Go Cobbers!). Since returning from Hong Kong I've lived in southern MN. Dundas, Faribault, and now Northfield. I'm a teacher and swimming/diving coach. I have 7 kids.... 2 biological and 5 adopted. 3 kids are still at home, but next fall two more will head out on their own.

    I was born and raised in West. St. Paul, graduated from Henry Sibley, and went to cosmetology school at MN School of Cosmetology (the one w/ the annoying commercials on daytime TV). :laugh: I met a Navy guy through a friend and moved to Florida where we got married, and am currently living in Virginia. I often miss the twin cities but not so much the snow. :smile:

    There's no snow right now, so you're not missing out! It's absolutely absurd.

    Hi eveyone, Stefanie here! I grew up on the "Iron Range" (starting at age 8), graduated there, got married there. Then moved to Texas in 2001.. Lasted nearly 6 years and got back as soon as we could!!! Once you grow up Minnesotan you want your kids to grow up the same way!!! Now in Grand Rapids raising my 2 wonderful kiddo's =) I'll take the frigid over the sweltering any day!

    I have lived in 4 different town's in Minnesota and have loved all of them ;)

    Best to all you Minnesotan's in 2012!!
