Im a cali girl stuck in GA I know exactly how you feel girl.

:heythere Welcome to SOS

I feel your pain lol Im from the bay area too, and Im up here in wahsington. I lived in SC for awhile, and its pretty backwards from CA, but you'll get used to it. Just be patient. (Im from redwood city and belmont )

thanl you all! It is just really hard to be so far.. I am so close to my mom and siblings and it is killing me to miss everything.. I mean my baby brother (who is 14 lol) was in the ER with a concustion and i wasn't there. and I missed my sisters SR Prom!!! But thank you ladies I keep praying that the army would move us closer to CA. Pennylayne I am so jealous that you got staioned in WA my DH and I have been praying to get stationed at Ft.Lewis so we could help out my grandparents! I will keep praying... I mean everything happens for a reason...:sigh:pray:pray:pray

:welcome

Im a cali girl stuck in GA I know exactly how you feel girl.

Where are you from in California? And I don't envy you I hate GA i went there to DHs basic grad and i HATED it

You should drive to Myrtle Beach. It's a long drive, but so worth it. I lived in NC too, loved it once I got used to it. I am from CA; Riverside/Long Beach/Temecula areas. I know how hard it is to adjust there believe me!

Welcome to sos!

Welcome to sos!

Thank you... My Aunt usesd to live in Long beach... I am used to being like 45 mins away fromt he beach lol

IT's really only a 2 hr drive, and Holden Beach is about 45 mins out I believe. :D Myrtle is nice though! Lots of shops and restaurants. Still not CA beachy, but interesting and fun nonetheless. :D

Welcome!

Thats a far drive for me... I will have to look for a close beach

Welcome! From what I hear I probably wouldn't like living in the south much either. Try to make the best of it though.

:welcome

Hello and welcome!!!
Some helpful hints about learning to enjoy southern living:
1) Grits are best with shrimp. If you don't know what a grit is, watch "my cousin Vinny"
2) Never eat at a waffle house while the sun is still shining...
3) Y'all is singular, Al'ya'all is plural.
4) Nascar is not just a sport, its a lifestyle.
5) Professional Wrestling...See Nascar.
6) The difference between yankies and Damned Yankies: Damned yankees stayed.
7) And it was "The war of North Aggression" and the South did not lose, they are just regrouping their troops.
8) When you order Iced tea, no need to add sugar :) They have never heard of Unsweetened tea.
Enjoy!!!!

LOL, That is HILARIOUS!!! yet very informative at the same time. Neat post! I have a new found appreciation for the South!

P.S. are you serious??? --> "They have never heard of Unsweetened tea."
I hate having to add sugar! it just ain't right... I have a feeling ima like it over there! :cp :hungry :cheer :happydance

Awww the south isn't to bad- Fayetteville may be but the rest really isn't! I can't imagine being so far from my family either- 7 hours to Atlanta is bad enough- so many :hugs for that. You need to get your DH to take you up to the mountains to get a truly good appreciation for NC- in the mean time I suggest checking out Raven Rock State Park (about 35 min. from Ft. Bragg) for a hike or something- you can even rent canoes/rafts from places hear by & go down the river which is a ton of fun.

:unlove:unloveAnyone in CA or WA want to swich!? I would do anything to move back to the left coast. I think that if i get a job out here(which is REALLY hard) it will help keep my mind off being so far from my family. I mean we might have to mmiss christmas with our familys because we are SO broke... I really am trying to like it here i have made a few friends and there are a few I would really miss. And my husband is so sweet he offered to move me back home and give me money so i can live in my own place back in CA and he will live in the barriks and save money and get us a nicer place here. Oh well next year we are going to apply for base housing or and if we dont get it we are deffently moving out of fayetteville:unlove:unlove

Welcome, I'm not from Cali, but have several friends there. I'm moving to Carolina in the fall.

Everyone is right-the south is AMAZING, but um...Fayetteville just sucks. I'm sorry you got stuck here :(

You can PM me anytime, though, we can go do something fun and try to forget about the suckiness:lol

Im stuck here in Fayetteville too I hate it!! I hope it gets better for u though.

Welcome!!!

Go to North Myrtle Beach. It's a bit more family oriented, and you don't have the single, military guys going up and down the strip looking for tail :lol
