“My husband, Matt, and I are St. Paul loyal. We spend our time exploring local farmer’s markets and diverse cuisines, lifting weights at the neighborhood gym, walking our invisible dog down Summit Ave., gardening city veggies, watching pretty much anything in Star Wars canon, and hanging out with friends (mostly to try and convince them to also live in St. Paul with us).”
