North Carolina

[Dooley]

Came from San Diego, now in Garner NC....what a difference.

(thats just south of Raleigh)

[SapphireStitch]

Winston-Salem reporting for duty. :D

We're originally from IL, been here almost 15 years.

[Cornerstone Classical]

Native Charlotte girl, now in Hickory! and LOVE it!;)

[Frelle]

Im over in Cary, about 25 minutes from you!

[sheryl]

Beautiful Charlotte, here! :001_smile:

Sheryl <><

[MamaT]

Just north of Asheville. We're originally from Florida, and have been here for 7 years.

[LizzyBee]

We live northeast of Raleigh. We moved here 10 years ago from Baltimore. I grew up 5 miles outside a town of 251 (per 1970 census, but the town has grown to 351 per the latest census). Raleigh is a nice in-between kind of place because it has all the conveniences of a city without the high crime rate, traffic, and pollution.

[MyThreeSons]

the opposite of you -- from Northern California (San Jose area) to South Carolina (Spartanburg area). Yes, it's a big difference, but I'm lovin' it!

[sheryl]

Welcome! You'll enjoy it here. I live in Charlotte. Sheryl <><

[sheryl]

[Alanae]

Weddington here (south of Charlotte) moved here from Florida 9yrs ago now and I'm still not sure about it :P

[blessedx5]

Between Greensboro and Raleigh....lived here my WHOLE life....:001_smile:

[Melora in NC]

State Road. Which is near Elkin, or about 1/2 hour south of Mt. Airy, or 40 minutes nw of Winston-Salem. Blink and you'll miss it.

[frugalmel]

Sanford, NC.

New to homeschooling. We will start this summer/fall.

[eight_gregorys]

Hi,

I live in Fayetteville. Welcome to NC!

Blessings,

Andrea

[MyCalling]

South of Sanford, north of Fayetteville here. :D We're from Sacramento, CA 2 1/2 years ago. We're loving it out here except for the lack of hsers and co-ops.

[jenL]

Indian Trail, NC here... originally from New Hampshire. We've been here 3 years, and we love it!

[Christy B]

Graham, NC

Between Durham and Greensboro, I reckon.

I'm originally from Virginia and I miss it; but NC is starting to feel more and more like home. I LOVE the NC homeschooling laws; much simpler than VA.

My dh is a Mebane, NC native.

I actually think Charlotte and Ashville are two of the most beautiful locations I've ever visited.

[Momofjae]

Fayetteville NC here! Home of our wonderful military men and women. We are however, not military, therefore are here by choice and havent quite figured that out yet! :P

[cupajoe]

We're in North Fayetteville. DH is stationed at Fort Bragg. It's so nice to see other Fayetteville homeschoolers on here! Are there any other Ft. Bragg military spouses checking in?

[tsuche]

Hi Liz,
We moved from Baltimore (Dundalk) to Henderson, NC 26 yrs ago.

Blessings,
Terry

[Galt]

Weddington here (south of Charlotte) moved here from Florida 9yrs ago now and I'm still not sure about it :P

I live literally right up the street from you in Charlotte. I don't want to say more due to privacy.

I am considering home schooling. Why? It is a long story.

-Galt

[DawnM]

We moved to the Charlotte area (Marvin, just next to Weddington) from Pasadena.

Huge difference. But for me, not only did we move across the country, but I also stopped working at the same time. It has been a difficult adjustment in many ways.

Dawn

Came from San Diego, now in Garner NC....what a difference.

(thats just south of Raleigh)

[walkermamaof4]

N. Charlotte, in Highland Creek. Anyone?

[susancollins]

I live in Louisburg, NC which is about 30 mintues from Raleigh.

[pdalley]

Wilmington, NC - just outside of it really. Lived in NC my whole life.

[momofjep]

We're just north of Greensboro in Stokesdale, NC.

[samba]

I have a friend in Carey, NC who is considering homeschooling. If you're familiar with or part of co-ops or support groups in this area, would you post a link to your group?

Thanks,

Carolyn

[HistoryMom]

Hey, folks. I've just joined the forum, and am based in Madison, NC (very close to Stokesdale!)

We're just north of Greensboro in Stokesdale, NC.

[dawn8500]

[tvaleri]

Hey Sheryl-

Native Charlottean here. I'm just outside Mint Hill in Union County =)

Smiles!
Teresa

[blessed2fosteradopt]

We have a vacation home in Piney Creek and we are here now. Our primary home is in S. FL. I cry buckets of tears when we have to leave every time. I absolutely love NC and so does the rest of my family. We are hoping to make it our permanent home soon.

[mom2fiveboysnc]

we are in the charlotte/lake wylie area. hey other sheryl! not sure where highland creek is though (walkermama). good to "see" ya'll. i've been in the piedmont area my whole life.

[walkermamaof4]

We are right beside Concord Mills :)

[lakerks]

I'm actually in VA, but very close to the state line. We're about 30 minutes north of Oxford. I'd love to get my ds involved in a debate team if I could find one. Any suggestions!

[Geo]

We live in Cowee, a small community about 20 minutes outside of Franklin, NC. Franklin is rather well known, especially to Floridians...but it is most definitely a small town. You stand in the grocery line behind the
bank teller, head librarian and chief of police. There are few secrets here...or stores (except Walmart...surprise, surprise!). We have to drive an hour and a half to Asheville for a Target, Michael's, or even a decent haircut.

So...howdy from the sticks!
Geo

[momtoccm]

We recently moved to Raleigh. We're on the south side closer to Garner and Cary.

[MomtoH&L]

I love San Diego. I used to live there myself.
I hope you enjoy your new home.

[jeraldfler]

Im thinking about moving to charlotte nc any suggestions on night life options?

[parias1126]

[FlyingMOm]

[tmurfnc]

Hi, I am new to homeschooling and have 2 pre-k children that I currently teach at home. Is there anyone in or around the Raleigh area that is interested in meeting once a month or so? Just thought it would be nice to meet other like minded moms that teach classical style in this area.:001_smile:

:)
Trish

Went to school at Appalachian State University (wish I could just live in the mountains)
Lived in West End for 5 years
Lived in Warsaw (NC not Poland!!!) for 2

If any of you folks hear of a church needing a pastor in the Mountains let me know!!! I think God is calling us back up there!!!:D

[Brenda in FL]

Hi, I am new to homeschooling and have 2 pre-k children that I currently teach at home. Is there anyone in or around the Raleigh area that is interested in meeting once a month or so? Just thought it would be nice to meet other like minded moms that teach classical style in this area.:001_smile:

:)
Trish

Hi Trish! Do you know of the spice-line yahoo group? You could also post there to get a group going. (My children are all a little too old for the pre-K set.)

[tmurfnc]

Hi Brenda, thanks for responding, yes, I am on spice-line but I just thought that I might post here so that anyone who is doing the classical style would like to get together. I am not necessarily looking for only pre-k moms but just moms in general who are in Raleigh and teaching that style. I figure a night out once a month to have coffee and just to talk about home-schooling, kids, etc. would be nice.

[JadenCalebMom]

We are in Mooresville. I am originally from TN. Husband born and raised here. Daughter is 9 and son is 6.

[besroma]

Hi, JadenCalebMom! :seeya:
