I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE HOME.
FOR ANYONE WHO THINKS IT MIGHT
HAVE BEEN A RISKY MOVE MOVING
IN JANUARY I'M GOING TO SHOW
THEM A PICTURE OF THE HUGE
ALLIGATOR WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
EARLIER.

HIGH SCHOOL.
I DECIDED TO GO TO CALIFORNIA
FOR COLLEGE AND MADE THE TRIP
BACK HOME TO MINNESOTA.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED
ABOUT BEING HOME FOR?
I THINK BEING CLOSE TO
FAMILY.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT FOR
ME.
BEING CLOSE TO MY BROTHERS THAT
ARE AND MY AUNT AND UNCLES AND
COUSINS.
IT IS EXCITING TO BE HOME IN
MINNESOTA.

IN MY HEART.

DRESSES YOUR DOG UP IN
COSTUMES?
