Kelsey and Chris Waits moved to Hastings, Minnesota, to build a dream home for themselves and their two children.
Chris had a promising job opportunity when he left the Navy but it was the neighborhood that drew them in.
"Kelsey said, 'Well, I hope the interview went well because we're moving here. This town is great, this town is perfect, this is what I want,'" Chris recalled his wife telling him.
