Our new-lywed beginning

So I decided to create a blog that my friends and family can check out to see whats going on with our lives out in the Midwest. Minneapolis Minnesota is where the Schweitzer/Beno Family has now laid ground. We bought our first townhouse in Burnsville. Burnville is a little outside downtown Minneapolis/St.Paul. And only about 10min. from the Mall of America.


Mike and I have been to the MOA about 4 times too much. It is fun the first time, maybe the second-but after that it gets out of control. Too many, tourists, babies, kids, lost people standing in your way crying, arguing, or trying to find which entrance they came in. Now that we have our own place we are working very hard to make it "our own". We have bought new furniture, kitchen table, and now Mike took on our basement. It was not finished when we moved in, so Mike decided to make it....yup-THE MAN CAVE. He has done such a great job! It looks amazing. I will admit that I didn't think he could do this kind of thing, but I was totally wrong. Our basement is going to be amazing when it is done. We are getting used to the 80 degree summers.  Not used to putting a jacket on at night in JULY!!  But it has been nice weather to sit outside and have dinner every night.  Together we are making an effort to finish our basement and make new friends with our neighbors.  We love the area and are lucky to have some friends around our age across the street.  So far, Minnesota has treated us very well.
