Funnies about North Dakota

Well, most of you already know but for those of you who don't we did find out we'll be moving to North Dakota this summer. The boys are actually looking forward to it (for different reasons). Josh thinks the high school looks like something out of a movie so he thinks it will be cool to graduate from there - he'll be a Senior can you BELIEVE IT?! Ian thinks that anywhere that has both indoor and outdoor hockey rinks has got to be great and he's already told me he wants to live in ND forever! {smile} Well, we've met some friends here that moved here from North Dakota and she sent me this in an e-mail so I thought I would share. Now you'll all know what we'll be facing! Enjoy a laugh on me!
