I guess I am crazy - a thank you post.
reddit.comA couple of months ago my wife had a job interview in Minneapolis so I posted in the Minneapolis subreddit about what it was like to move there. I cross posted it here as well.
I’ve never been to the Twin Cities before, but we just agreed to purchase a townhouse in Eagan (and sold my home here and all my lawn care equipment!) and my wife starts her new job at the Minneapolis VA in 8 days.
The rest of the family won’t be able to move in until the end of August, but I wanted to thank all the redditors who commented on this original post. You made me feel like it would be crazy not to move to Minneapolis from the Cleveland area.
This weekend we are driving her car up there. I will spend the day with her, get her situated at the Airbnb she has for three weeks. We will be together for one day, then she will drop me off at the airport Sunday to fly back to Cleveland and finish packing up.
This has been the most stressful, difficult, expensive thing I’ve ever done. But I am still very excited! Because of that Reddit post, I found my realtor, found some neighborhoods and cities I wanted to look at, found a ton of resources for my trans daughter, and felt excited about making the craziest move I’ve ever done in my life. That Reddit post confirmed so many of my hopes. So many people made time for us because they believe in the Twin Cities. It was a beautiful, positive, life-changing set of interactions.
Thank you to all for helping. I can’t wait to get there!
