lovefunbeer Thank you so much! It is definitely a leap of faith to move to a small town from a big city. I'm glad I was able to help you by sharing my experience. Let me know if you have any questions.
Interesting video. I moved to North Dakota from Pennsylvania back in 1999. A lot of what you say is true, especially that everybody you know is married.
Hi WaskiSquirrel. Thank you for your comment. I've met some great friends since I've moved here. That has been quite helpful to me while living far away from home.
Ive lived and am currently still living in fargo,nd my entire life. if anyone is thinking about moving to north dakota, do it!!! it is awesome here and the people are awesome!!! you wouldnt regret it! come have a can of pop and some hotdish with us!!😉 also Fargo is nothing like the movie Fargo!! everyone thinks that but thats wrong!😊
Hi Amber! Thank you for your comment! I've enjoyed myself living here. It's been a nice transition and the summers are great! I agree -- the movie Fargo doesn't do the city justice!
I'm a little nervous because I will be joining the move shortly, my husband has landed a job out there and will get me and our sons in a couple of months, I'm glad to see some color 😊 but overall you're video makes it a bit better. From Southern CA.
North Dakota got a A+ in their financial grade they have 14.3 billion in assets with 7.2 billion in bills very good. Its one out of three states that got a A. Wyoming and Alaska are the only other states.
Kazia Thornhill thank you for the information. That's great to hear about North Dakota. I agree that there is a strong economy here. The state has experienced some cuts in jobs as well but I think overall ND has a good job market.
Hello, I hope you’re doing well and great! Would love to hear your progress. I hear myself in you as I’m going through my moment. It’s challenging yet beautiful.
Hi Dana, Are you still in ND? I must say I was there for 6 months and it was wonderful. Everyone was kind and love to party. It was the best experience I had as a traveler. I met lots of wonderful people and remain friends with then now. I miss ND!!!!!!
Thanks for the video Dana! I was looking at making the move to ND from southern California due to the better opportunities and better pay (mostly better pay). My relatives live in a small town in Ohio, so I have a little experience with the lifestyle, but I think the towns in ND will be much smaller.
geraldojayster geraldojayster Hi! Thank you for your comments. There are mostly small towns in North Dakota. I find it's helpful to stay goal oriented while living here because the quietness can get to be a bit much at times.
I'm sure China would be the polar opposite of North Dakota (it's very noisy there). Maybe North Dakota would be a great place to get my grove back.. help me focus.
Hello my husband and I are thinking on relocating to South Dakota or North Dakota but can't decide as we are black and doesn't want too much racism....lol
I lived in minot nd for 2 years it was great thinking about moving back..I jus hated that they didnt have childcare..if they get more childcare that would b great but other than that its a great place! Never ran into any racism at all
Gina Aladin-Bernadeau Hi Gina! I’ve not experienced racism myself. However, if you’re not from the area it may take some time for people to get to know you but it may not. I’d say find a church or civic organization and be consistent in attending and participating and getting to know people that way.
If your looking to move come to the city of Medicine Hat, Alberta Canada there is tons of jobs here. We about to be in the massive boom with lots of construction jobs. Our city is going to be get 1.2 million square feet facilty and they will be requiring 700 construction workers and once the Construction is complete there will be 450 full time jobs for Medical marijuana company that will be high paying jobs . We are also getting a Bitcoin Company here called Hut8 that will be high paying jobs as well. The city is in talks for a manufacturing plant and petrochemical plant. There new Hotels being built our mall is under a major Modernization, lots of retail shops opening up. There is lots of jobs in the city of Medicine Hat, Alberta Canada.
I'm trying to move to North Dakota next year from Michigan as I'm making a very risky transition life after college. Been in Michigan my entire life but it's a poverty state with no jobs and min wage. I'm gonna move to Fargo in hopes to find a job and be financially stable
Repent: Luke 13:3 Except ye repent ye alp likewise perish. And how you Repent it a turning away from your sinful Nature and stop sinning and change your thinking and start serving the true living God.
TERK NATIONS it depends on the type of job you're looking for. I think you can make a good living working in North Dakota. Have you looked on indeed.com?
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge :because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee , that thou shalt be no priest to me: seening thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
GloFreak Hi! Thank you for commenting. It natural to be nervous about moving to a different place. If it helps, where you’re moving to is about 25 miles away from Dickinson, ND, which has about 17,000 people and is a nice option if you want to go to a bigger city at times. I would say give yourself time to appreciate the good things about living in a small town because there are plenty. Let me know if you have any questions!
I'm looking to possibly move to grand forks for a job....god willing...but I'm single as well and wanted to know do you have any tips? I'm open to new places having lived a lot of places due to military
i actually went to grand forks this summer and visited medora with a friend....it felt weird in grand forks cause i didn't see too many black people but nonetheless....I was treated with respect. as far as love life...if i was to move there i don't see it happening lol
Hi jonesbunny! It's funny that you use the word decent because that's how I would the amount of Blacks/African-Americans that I've met in North Dakota. I've met at least 20-30 Blacks since moving here in March, 2015. That includes people originally from other countries as well. I would also say that I've met some nice non-Black people as well. It's been great getting to know a variety of people from various backgrounds.
yes im moving from new york! we are moving this summer because my dad got a goog job but they have 450 people there i am very nervous about making freinds and fitting in they have 1 grocery store 1 hand me down cloths store 2 hardware stores a pool and 3 resturants none of which are chain resturants it is going to be a BIG change.
Hello Dana. Since there's a possibility for me to move, for a year or two, to Grand Forks ND, is there a way I could communicate with you to tell me some more things, or tips, regarding life there? Thank you! :)
I’m being offered a great amount of money out in North Dakota to install alarms for Vivint homes.they will pay for my housing I’m just a little paranoid about what to expect any tips ??
PENUS ANDCOCO Hi! Not sure what tips you may want but in general i would say be friendly towards people. I’ve found that when you’re not from the area you have to kind of win people over to like and trust you. It doesn’t mean kissing up or anything but just try to be consistently friendly or cordial. On the other hand, you may meet some people right away who are open to getting to know you. If you’re moving during the summer months be prepared for long days and nice weather. Hope that helps. You can ask specific questions or let me know the area to where you’ll be moving and I can possibly offer more detailed answers.
Lisa Wilson Hi Lisa. Winter here gets pretty cold. It is currently -12 at 10 o'clock at night. However, most places are well-heated so as long as you don't hang outside for too long you'll be fine. to Depending on where you're moving from, I'd say buy thermal underwear, warm boots, and a big coat and gloves, if you don't have any. I'll do a video that addresses some tips to making it through a ND winter.
Dana Sims Thank you for that quick response. My only other concern is if I should drive there or fly and rent me a car for getting around. Where I am coming from there is no snow...ever. i am just nervous and excited about th e weather.
miah de Hi Miah, it will actually warm up to the 20s and 30s next week. I know that's still cold but compared to -6 it's going to feel pretty good. It may start to warm up around March but there may still be some cold days until April or May. Spring and summer here are beautiful though.

Believe:Hebrews 11:6 But without out faith it is impossible to please him: for he that Cometh to God must believe that he is, and he a rewarder of them that diligently seek him .And how you hear wirh the heart of mind, Not the heart that pumps blood though veins. But the heart of mind your brain.

The mountains of the lord, to the house of God of jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his path; for out of zion shall go forth the law and the word of the lord from Jerusalem.
👂 Hear: Romans10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. And how hear is with the ear, the word of God it cannot be Denominational or can it be a run of the mill pastor.

God will blessed you if ye put him first. 5:4 But ye brethren ,are not darkness, that, that day should you be overtaken you ad a thief in the night. I need you to share this info with the people you know so when the lord returns they will be saved.
