We are moving April first(ish) to Va. We will be in the small town of Damscus near Bristol. Anyone in the area?

Okay, I'm being nosy :D, but I'm wondering how you and DH decided on this area. If you don't mind sharing.

I grew up in FL and NC. I loved NC and didn't want to move back to FL. We now live in Oregon. I really do like it but sometimes I feel stuck. I admire folks who up and move. DH's job is here (13 years so far), his parents, my oldest dd and grandchildren, my parents rent the other half of our duplex, etc. Moving sounds like an adventure.

:) We actually had a situation fall into our laps. Free house and such. It will be an adventure if it happens the way we are planning. I am getting the kiddos prepared by refering to it as an adventure. :)

I am!
I actually live in Abingdon, but it is 15 minutes from Damascus. :) There are a lot of home schoolers in our area. I have a very good friend in Damascus, as well as a cousin.
Let me know when you arrive and I am happy to introduce you.:grouphug:

Kim, good luck to you and your family. It really does sound like an adventure. :thumbup1:

Southwest Virginia is so pretty and different from other parts of Virginia.
It is sort of out in the boonies. You will keep us posted? I love Virginia.:cool:
