I grew up where the Major Health Care Company in the area had always been the same. I was born in an IHC Hospital, was always taken care of in IHC Hospitals/ InstaCares and even gave birth to my first & second child in an IHC Hospital. IHC (Intermountain Health Care) was started in 1975 and is still growing in Utah and Idaho areas today. Needless to say, it's been a bit of a shocker to have BOTH major Health Care Companies in Fargo completely change (one of them 2 times) into a completely different companies in less than 6 years. I've learned a lot about letting the little things go when it comes to doctors and hospitals since we've come to Fargo.
2. Empty Parking LotsYou know it's Summer here in Fargo when the best time to go grocery shopping or to the movies is Friday night or Saturday. Sometimes we have to do a double-take when we pull into a parking lot and are the only (or almost only) ones there. Everyone (and I mean almost everyone!!!) heads out to the "lake" for the weekend which leaves Fargo a bit of a GhostTown. But hey- since the Seamons are LakeHouse-less- it works out in our favor!!! LOL
3. Rummage Sales
Fargo is one of the best places in the United States to find great deals on second-hand stuff. Back home, we called them Garage Sales but here they are more often referred to as Rummage Sales. It's a serious business here, people! They start as soon as the snow melts and go til the first snowfall. Most of them run their sales on Thursday night, Friday night, all day Saturday and Sunday. Seriously freaky!! But I do hear from those that are actually up before 10 am on Saturday that they find amazing deals!!!
4. Dandelion Fields
If I had been more motivated the last month this one would have been posted mid-May but I will mention it here. After the snow melted and things thawed enough to begin to grow, huge dandelion fields popped up everywhere!!! A little kid's paradise for picking flowers for Mommy!

5. Friendly People
Some may wonder why people live in Fargo (or any of North Dakota for that matter) at all. Believe me- I am one of those people thinking that! But I have to say that Fargo has some of the most friendliest people in the world. Such nice, hard-working, down-to-Earth people you'll ever meet. Fargonians are awesome!!!What are YOU Grateful for this week?
