After long talks and discussions we have finally made a decision and we are moving. It's a bittersweet decision since we have so many things that we love about Bismarck, but also exciting for our new adventure. I think I"ll miss my Carter family the most and then my amazing friends and my great job. I cried when I resigned:( We've spent countless hours getting our two homes ready to sell and getting me out of my classroom. Dan's office is next....whew!
We are moving to Paynesville, MN. It's 25 miles south of St. Cloud, 45 minutes from Albertville outlet mall, and an hour and a half from downtown Minneapolis. Paynesville is a small little town located right next to Lake Koronis. The population is 2,500, but with the lake it's 5,000. Our new church (Paynesville Lutheran Church) has 1,200 members. When we visited and Dan interviewed it was really great to see 80% of the congregation congregate after the service all together. We are looking forward with excitement, but also looking back with sadness. I knew we wouldn't stay in Bismarck forever, but I never thought it would be this quick.
We'll keep you posted on our new adventures out there!
