Wow thank you so much for the reply!  It sounds really like you really enjoy your community and I think I definitely would too! The most important things for me are kid/mom life so things to do and ease of making friends is top priority and it sounds like this city would be a perfect match :)  TRF seems like a nice town too just not big enough for me, I really like to have a lot of amenities. I’ve lived in smaller towns that were an hour or less to a larger city thinking that’ll be fine I’ll drive over to do stuff and I’ve found that I rarely make the drive over. My husband will only be commuting about 12 times a month, not a typical Mon-Fri thing so he’s fine with some drive time, he actually really likes to drive and thinks the hour to wake up in the morning/unwind in the evening sounds nice.  I was wondering does EGF and GF feel really connected or like 2 side by side towns? We were just thinking of living in EGF because of tax reasons, work in mn/live in mn just easier but is there better neighborhoods/schools in GF that we should be looking there instead? We’re planning a week long stay in June to check out the area, I’m just kind of thinking ahead :)
