It's the place to be.....
I've lived in Alabama, Germany, and then Arizona for 8 years. Arizona may have the climate - but nothing can compare to South Dakota's family values mentality. The area is beautiful - and has 4 distinct seasons. There is something for everyone. Sioux Falls is growing as are all opportunities. Thanks to Mr. Sanford's donation, we will also have one of the largest Children's hospitals for our use. No longer will we have to travel to neighboring states. Crime is low - and future prospects are high.
We live on 10 acres of land 20 miles west of Sioux Falls - overlooking the Vermillion River Valley and only 2 miles south of Lake Vermillion. We currently have this house on the market (see it on Ebay) - but will be building a new house in another town close to Sioux Falls. We didn't even consider leaving the state, even though my husband lived in Arizona for 29 years of his life. I grew up here and can't imagine raising my two boys anywhere else.
