Can you believe that yesterday was August 1st? August 1st has quite the memories...
Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of the 35W Bridge collapse in Minneapolis. They expect that the new bridge should actually be done by as earlier as the middle of Septmeber. Last weekend a 6 x 9 ft piece on concrete fell from the 35E Bridge in Saint Paul and hit 2 cars. Nobody was injured but 35E was closed the rest of Saturday evening (it happened about 5 pm) and was inspected. All was ok and it was reopened just in time for me to drive under it on my way to work.
On a happier note, yesterday was also the 5 year anniversary of me moving to Minnesota...can you believe it? It feels like just yesterday that Mom, Dad, Amy and I made the long drive up here to move me in to the townhouse in Burnsville. I have moved more times the 5 years I have been in Minnesota than in my 23 years of living in Wisconsin!
I went from Burnsville to Saint Paul (across from Anna's apt), to the ghetto (with Joe - thank goodness!) to Highland Park (above Joe's sister) and now the East side! I think it will be quite a long time before I (we) move again and if we do end up moving in the next 5 years (not expected, but hey you never know) we are TOTALLY hiring movers!!!
