1. Where you do you live?
Rochester, MN
2. What kind of house/apartment?
House, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths..it's not ours its actually my fiances dads, were staying here while we save up for a house of our own
3. Do you love it, hate it or something in between?
I loved it at first, now it's getting crowded and I need more space and the kids each need their own rooms and they all 3 share a room right now, not fun..I love the yard, we lived in a townhouse prior to this and had no yard so the kids love it
4. Tell us something neat about the city/region you live in.
All I can think of is the good and wonderful old Mayo Clinic..1883 after a tornado swept the city and killed 24 people Dr. W.W Mayo and his sons helped care for the injured. Mother Alfred Moes and her Sisters of St. Francis cared for recuperating patients. After the crisis was over, Mother Alfred proposed building a hospital, but Dr. W.W. Mayo wasn’t enthusiastic at first.
When the sisters were able, four years later, to purchase land for a hospital, they built the 27-bed facility with plans and suggestions from Dr. W.W. Mayo and his sons, Drs. Will and Charlie Mayo.Soon, a cohesive organization known as Mayo Clinic took shape, and patients came not only for the surgical expertise of the Mayo brothers, but because of the clinic’s unique organization and philosophy of patient-centered care.
Today’s Mayo Clinic — providing care to more than half a million people via 2.3 million visits annually to three main campuses — is a testament to the organization’s roots as a collaboration between a pioneer doctor’s family and the Sisters of St. Francis who, in the later years of the 19th Century, together created a hospital on the prairie.

--ps... I think I love my city, knowing we have one of the best medical facilities around.... the crime rate does jump every now and then but I always think, where is it not rising? There's just some things I can't control.
There's always fun things for the kids to participate in and plenty of stuff for adults to do !
