We Are Moving To…

Finally, after a month of ups and downs, paperwork and lost emails, and the never ending texts to poor Sam, “Any news on our PCS?” (permanent change of station) -

finally…

I can say with a little more confidence (although nothing is ever certain till you’re there)

we are moving to…

.

.

.

FT. BRAGG,  NORTH CAROLINA!!!!

And people? My head literally felt like it exploded when Sam told me. I actually screamed. He was so surprised, saying, “Wow, I didn’t think you’d be that excited.”

BUT I AM.

It’s the SOUTH. The real South! And for anyone who’s read me long enough, you know my love of all things Southern. I would have gladly stayed in Georgia the times we went to visit Sam. I adored it all. The humidity. The sweet tea. The accents. The trees. The green. THE EVERYTHING SOUTHERN.

I can’t wait. I seriously can’t wait to be there and while I know there are downsides to any station, any city, any part of the country – I’m so thrilled to have the chance to experience North Carolina and be near so many of the ladies from blogging that I adore. Any time I start to worry I think about how we’re pretty happy and settled here – so HECK. It can happen anywhere. I know that now.

We don’t have an exact moving date yet but it’s soon. Before this baby arrives anyway.

Which is a whole other issue but you know what? Things like that tend to work out somehow. Look at here. And it’s been nearly 2 years, we made it. It all worked out. I didn’t think it would, I didn’t think I’d survive that first summer with 10 days in a miserable hotel in 108* heat and 4 cats and an 18 month old and no where to live – but we made it! We made it. And we’ll do it all again.

Hopefully sans horrible hotel with cats and death heat.

So North Carolina – here we come!

From a North Carolina girl – congratulations! It is a beautiful state. Mountains, ocean, and valley in between. And the sweet tea and accents are pretty great, too. :)

Aw so cool! I happened upon your blog after I lost my baby in October. I live in Raleigh. Maybe I’ll get to meet one of my favorite bloggers one day! Hooray for the South!

Very pretty area. North Carolina girl myself, not on the coast but it is still a beautiful state. Homeschooling laws here are great as well!!!!




Congratulations! We’re getting ready to PCS (hopefully) from Bragg to VA. We’ve been here a total of 5 years, so if you need any information on the area, feel free to ask!




Hannah D |

YAY! I was hoping that’s where you would be moving. We are supposed to be heading there too. Unlike you, I can’t stand GA and can’t wait to be out of here.

Yay for NC! I’ve lived in Raleigh my whole life and it would take ALOT for me to leave! I live it here! Fayetteville isn’t the greatest (well areas of it anyways), but they are some great towns close by that are wonderful!

Woo Hoo!! I’m glad you’re excited because I remember when you guys got TX. :)

Yay! You will love it here! I found your blog a few years ago and emailed you about a month or so ago when we had a family member lose her twins. You were a great help. We are in Concord, so not too far at all! Glad to have you here and welcome to NC!
