Living in MN, at least temporarily

Well, we have returned to Minnesota (and Arden Hills more specifically). My parents are out of town for the rest of the month, and so we are house-sitting (of sorts) until they return, at which point we will be still be living here, but we will live on one floor of the house, and we will live on another. It's not a long-term thing, but should work for a few weeks while we determine if we are staying in Minnesota more long-term, or if we are heading elsewhere.
It's a bit of an adjustment coming back, particularly when we don't know how long we will be here. It's nice that it will be at least a few weeks, which gives us a chance to see family and friends that we only see briefly or miss altogether when we are here for a few days over Christmas, but a little odd as it feels a bit nomadic, which isn't my usual state of being.
As an update, we moved out of our apartment at the end of July, and moved our belongings into our friends basement while we waited to see which way we were moving. So, we went down to Connecticut for a week to spend time with my sister and her family while we were waiting, and it was a great opportunity to catch up, spend some time at the ocean, etc. (other than getting the flu briefly, which I wouldn't recommend!). When we figured out Minneapolis was our next destination, we drove back up to Ithaca, loaded our belongings into our lovely moving van (with a/c, comfortable seats, and a cd player, we were quite happy about it), said goodbye to some friends, and proceeded to spend about 20 hours driving from Ithaca to Minneapolis. The drive went pretty well, all things considered, with a 16 foot truck towing our car behind, I thought it could have been a lot worse. We drove for about 15 hours the first day to Rockford, IL, where we spent the night sleeping before we got up in the morning to drive the last several hours back to Minnesota.
Since then we have been unloading our belongings (although the vast majority of them are still in boxes until we figure out where we will be more permanently), going through the stuff that was intentionally or unintentionally left behind at my parents house when we moved to New York, and trying to spend time with people we don't get to see very often.
It's a little weird having space after living two years in our rather tiny apartment, but its nice as we are trying to go through everything as well. We are enjoying the chance to be back though, and are going to try to do as much as possible while we are in town, until we know where we are going to end up!
