Echo of Joy

Big changes

Thursday, August 5, 2010

My internship is in a rural area of Minnesota, so I get to move from the heart of the Twin Cities metro area (population over 3 million) to Dennison, Minnesota (population 160). It’s only about 45 minutes away, but it will be a whole different world!

I grew up in an Iowa town of 5,000 so I’m no stranger to small-town life, but 5,000 is quite different from 160. And it’s been over 10 years since I lived in a metro area smaller than 100,000.

I’m excited about the change in scenery, though…check out the beautiful surroundings I’ll get to enjoy!

160 is so small! You'll know everyone by name!
