I am in Minnesota! I got here Sunday afternoon. The drive was very long. I am LOVING it. Kim has been an excellent tour guide and is showing me places of interest and generally explaining the area. We drove through the uptown area and headed to the Mall of America. That place is awesome. It is so HUGE that it's unbelievable. I get the feeling that even if you have lived here forever and went to the mall every day it would still be confusing as to which stores are where. I can sometimes remember which floor a certain store is on but after that, I have no idea. I have decided that each floor is probably the size of a whole regular mall. I am so thrilled that I'm finally living in a place with an H&M. I love that store! Kim bought me the cutest shirt there for my birthday. Yesterday I got applications like crazy. I'm bound to find a job soon. Please send me good energy with this! On Sunday night we headed to The Gay 90s. It's one of the main gay clubs here. It was so much fun. It has 3 dance floors and 7 bars. Again, big. Haha. Then we walked a few blocks down to another one called The Saloon. I am really enjoying it here and can't wait to see more.
