Set Move Date

We have set our move date to July 10th, so only 96 days to go! I'm excited and a little scared.  I hope this is the fresh start we need and everything works out. We want to work, we want the jobs, and are determined to make this work for all of us! We are waiting to give time for the job hunt before we leave and house hunt also. Plus, we want to let our daughter finish her freshman year before we move since she is almost done! Already cleaning out our house and packing up stuff. I want to get an early start and we want to down size what we are taking,  spring cleaning! Till next time, night!

Checking in

Well, still looking into jobs and homes. Both cities are showing good promise, Bismarck does seem to have a few more rentals available then Minot does. They both have lots of jobs, Bismarck a little more but it is also a bigger city. It might come down to where we find the best priced rental and what jobs show the most interest in us. Well, back to the hunt. See you next time.

Quick Check In

Just a quick check in, we are researching jobs in both cities right now and comparing the housing

Arizona to North Dakota.. the journey begins

I'm starting this blog to share our new decision to relocate our family to North Dakota the year (2015). I wanted to be able to share this life changing event as we go through it for our own record, but also to help others that my be considering this move. As many of you may have heard North Dakota economy is doing very well. They have more jobs then people to fill them. For the last four years my family and I have been struggling.  We have gone without eating, so our kids could eat. Almost lost our home a few times and have had to sell things like our vehicle and stuff to pay basic bills. My husband has found mostly temp or part time jobs, and has gone months at a time without work.
We started to hear good things about North Dakota about a year ago. I started researching to see if these rumors were true and so far they seem to be. So, we are trying to save to move now from Arizona. We want a better life for our children and ourselves. Steady jobs and income is really what we are looking for. We have narrowed our search down to two cities; Bismarck and Minot. I will stop by everyday to post a little something about our journey to get out of Arizona and to North Dakota. For now thanks for reading and I hope you come back for more.
