Its easy to say yeah move its a great idea, but you will be the one to live with the consequences should it not meet your expectations. It may very well be the best thing for you, but at least do a little research on the town, jobs, colleges, weather to make sure. I've been in both places, its a major change. Can you tell us more about why the change really interest you and what you expect there?

To be very honest....I am leaving nothing behind. After my mother passed, my dysfunctional family disappeared and everybody went their own way. We don't connect on holidays or birthdays. I am unemployed due to a past of an abusive husband coming into my places of employment to attempt to get me fired. It worked. He was just recently sentenced to 5 years, and I kind of see this as a breaking point. I have zero friends here anymore.....and, that is sad for a 45 year old woman. I look at this
move as a "work in progress" to help me start over. I do not see a magical change at all. I have to work and stay focused on me now. I have always been fond of the Dakotas, and the surrounding states. I have always been an outdoors girl, and Los Angeles sickens me more than ever. I am constantly researching it, and I plan to make a decision at the end of 2010. Thank you so much for all of the advice.....it means alot to me!
