Be Careful What You Pray For - 8/23/2015
After living in a large city with a high-crime rate, I prayed to find a location that was safe, affordable, and child-friendly. We chose North Dakota because we'd heard so much about the good economy, job market, and safe communities. We first moved to a very small town a couple of hours from Fargo.
