  "account": "Stephanie Davis, a lifelong traveler, recently decided to move from her home in San Diego, California, to Minnesota to be closer to her family. She assumed San Diego would be her forever home, but her children chose to live in the Midwest. Davis is excited to embrace new cultures and customs, having read about them in books as a child. She moved to San Diego decades ago and loves her house, backyard, and beautiful view. However, she has become a homebody and rarely takes advantage of what Southern California has to offer. Her husband's family moved to the Twin Cities region for excellent schools, a dynamic business environment, family activities, vibrant arts, and natural beauty. Davis is also excited to experience more snowy winters with her granddaughter. She believes that winters build character and make other seasons even better. Despite the warnings from friends about mosquitoes and driving on ice, Davis is confident in her ability to adapt to the new environment. She has already got season tickets to the Guthrie Theater, and her granddaughter promises to teach her headlamping in the forest near her home. Davis is looking forward to family gatherings, the Guthrie Theater, and playing in the snow again.",
