For more than two years now Scott and I have been contemplating moving to North Carolina. We have never felt that the time was right up until now. About three weeks ago Scott flew up to Atlanta for an interview with Rubbermaid for a position in North Carolina. While we were waiting to hear back we researched the area very thoroughly online. We really liked what we saw and had our hearts set on moving there (still do in fact). When he wasn't offered the position we were disappointed, but a few days later we decided that we'd take advantage of the Thanksgiving long weekend and go and "spy out the land" anyway.
Our weekend started off at 5am on Thursday morning, with great anticipation for our little adventure. We were on the road to Savannah, Georgia to spend the night and then make our way to Charlotte, North Carolina on Friday. We were greeted with cold weather in Charlotte, which we all quite enjoyed. It was a pleasant change from the hot, humid weather that we have all the time at home.
We spent two nights in Charlotte and spent both days looking at the two areas we were interested in settling down in. We discovered that they were both wonderful family neighbourhoods and that it's a very "up and coming" place. Lots of houses, and stores being built. We fell in love and are now more excited than ever about moving there.
On our way back from Georgia we decided to stop off for lunch in St Augustine in Florida. It's a town filled with lots of history and beautiful, Spanish inspired architecture. We had lunch in a Pub across the road from the ocean and walked around a little to stretch our legs. It was an unplanned, "spur of the moment" diversion that we all enjoyed.
Coming back home for us was a little bittersweet. We were very sad to leave North Carolina and the place we believe with all of our hearts is going to be our new home. We don't know how or when it's going to happen - the waiting is going to be the hardest part. What we do know, though, is that God has this all worked out already and that in His timing things will work out.
