    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, Ken Monson living in Eagan MN. Just found MFP and love it, the perfect tool to keep me motivated. I love tracking both calories and excercises in one place and the barcode scanner is awesome.

    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!!

    Good morning! It is cold today.

    I live in North Mankato; which is in southern Minnesota about 80 miles south of the twin cities.

    I have been married for 21 years, childless by choice and I am a nurse. I love that there is a Minnesota group here. :smile:
