I know that I always complain about MN and the cold and snow here, which I do hate. But there are some good things here also and that is truely why we live here. Of course we do have family here, so that is a plus. I also love the education system here and the opportunities for education.
Another reason we live here is because I thought it was a great place to raise my children and expose them to some culture. I love the theatre, concerts, museums and I wanted them to experience those things and love them also. We have taken advantage of several of the offerings here in the Twin Cities and my children do love those venues also. I was reminded of this fact when I had a conversation with Lance this morning. He had just come back from a concert at our church by The St. Paul Chamber Orchestra called Start the Music and was practicing violin when I told him about a concert tonight at Orchestra Hall. Tonight's concert is a Space theme with music from Star Wars etc. He asked if we could go and I had to tell him it wasn't in the budget. The look of disappointment on his face was sad and also priceless. I was bummed we couldn't go and he wanted to go, but I was happy because he wanted to go to Orchestra Hall! How wonderful is that!? They also went to a play last week at The Children's Theatre Company to see Bud, Not Buddy and they loved the play. I need to keep these things in mind when I wish away the cold.
Until I find out if AZ or NM has a great cultural center, I'll be quiet about living in the cold.

Hey Julie!
Here is that concert I was mentioning to you that my friend plays the HP and SW music http://www.msoa.net/SeasonProgram.html#3A. Did I mention it was free??
Thanks Heather for the info. Lance would have loved that concert with Harry Potter and Star Wars music. I'll bookmark the site and maybe we can go to a different concert sometime.
