Duluth Residency:
I moved to Duluth in January 2011 after graduating from St. Cloud State University. Not long after the move, at a friend’s wedding—who would later become my brother- and sister-in-law—I met Brock, a boy from Floodwood, MN. Not only did I fall in love with him, but I also fell in love with my new home, Duluth.
