I actually like moving from state to state, etc. Improving houses, buying and selling and making profit and moving on is fun for me and my hubby. I love the whole remodel/change things for the better process. As for NC, we lived there 1 year Durham and 2 years North of Raleigh (Wake Forest), and I do know what you mean. All the confederate flags flying everywhere around Raleigh really bummed me out, and having to worry about crime is no fun, NC was not my dream state after all, who knew? Honestly, of Durham and Raleigh, I liked Durham better, who know about that as well? Durham has character. That said, for the colleges there - DUKE, UNC omg awesome! Would def. recommend those colleges to kids wanting a great education and great environment to learn in. As for MI, congrats! WOW what fun for you all! All that water, lakes, nature, beauty and four full seasons. VERY VERY HAPPY FOR YOU!
