Yes it's true.And now oh so official (above David signing the contract).
The Jacobs family is moving to Minot, North Dakota.
If this is the first time hearing the news you can now close your mouth which most likely just fell open as you uttered, "North Dakota?" (a reaction I have gotten a lot as I shared the news) and I will expound a little. And only a little because honestly I only have 5 minutes before Georgia wakes up to nurse and then in 5 more minutes I will most likely hear the pitter patter of JuJu's feet as she comes down stairs and for the fiftieth time this week wave her arm through the air and sing which in JuJu language means: I want to watch Annie.
So.... it is a really great job working at a hospital.
There is no retina specialist in the area so there is a lot of work and opportunity to serve the people of this area.
The salary is generous so we will be able to get out of debt in a couple of years.
The people are super nice and I think David is really going to enjoy his work.
The city of Minot:
Lots of families
Friendly people
Great schools
Amazing YMCA with a 4 story rock wall, yoga classes, tons of kids classes
Several indoor water parks with huge slides
Snow, lots of snow for tubing, sledding, cross country skiing
Nice summers
So that is a quick summary of why after much thinking, talking, and praying we chose Minot as our new home and next adventure.
So if you are ever in the vicinity which would be the middle of the US about an hour and a half south of Canada feel free to drop by. Really.

wow! my sister and her family lived in bismarck ND for two years and while they were slightly hesitant about what it would be like, they ended up LOVING it and were so sad when they had to leave. i looked it up on google maps really quick to see where it was and it sure is NORTH, isn't it? but you'll be just about 13 hours north of us here in denver, so you should stop by! 13 hours is nothin', right?
i'm excited for your new adventure. sounds like a great job and a fun place for your growing family!
One of my good friends from Virginia is stationed at Minot. I can get her information to you if you want to call or email her. Holy coldness. Maybe you should start spending time in the freezers at Sam's to start thickening your blood. Email me your phone number, so I can call you. We went to Madrid last week. Loved it.
Congrats!! I'm so excited for you. Hope the next few months go smooth for you as you move.
Congratulations! I'm sure you guys are going to love it there!
Wow! Matt keeps trying to talk me into South Dakota - maybe we could be neighbors! :) I'm so excited for you though. When are you moving?
I can't believe you are taking those SC/Florida babies to ND! What an adventure that will be. Congratulations to you and David on the new job. I am really excited for you all.
