Home Sweet Home

Chaska Minnesota, our new home for the next 5+ years.  Tyler is working in Le Sueur MN and likes it, he has taken and passed the Minnesota Pesticide test (even though they gave him the wrong book to study - my man is so smart!) and he is anxious to start flying.  Unfortunately I guess Minnesota had a colder winter than normal and it is still too cold to plant anything so we wait until it warms up, which hopefully is soon because after living in Cali for 2 years I'm a wimp when it comes to being cold! We are still not sure which states that Tyler will be spraying in, they want to go up with him and see how his flying skills are and then they will decide.  Summer will be his busy months where he will be working 14+ hour days, he could be spraying corn, peas, or potatoes in either Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, or Minnesota. We are excited and Tyler has the opportunity here to get Turbine experience (which is needed to progress in his career) as well as other certificates that make him more sought after.

We really like our apartment, the girl who lived here before us I guess accidently started a fire and so all of the appliances and bathroom, all new - so lucky us! The only thing that is kind of inconvenient is that there are not lights except for the bathroom and kitchen - bedrooms, family rooms, have to use lamps.  This really isn't a super big deal, we already have lamps but there is a difference of lights compared to lamps.  Also the kitchen is pretty small.  There is a basement with the washer and dryer that the unit comes with, the main floor is the kitchen and family room, and the upstairs with the 2 bedrooms and the bathroom.  The floors are wood, no carpet which I miss as well but overall we do like our new home and hope that since we will be here for a good couple of years that we can buy a house!


So far we have been to Mall of American - which is huge! There is an aquarium, mini golf, movie theater, mirror maze, flight simulator, and of course the amusement park in the middle. There is also a Bubba Gumps there which Tyler was super excited about as well as tons of other places to eat. Another reason I like Chaska is we are only 30 minutes from Minneapolis, Temple, Airport, we are right there - super convenient and we welcome all visitors!
