Will be moving to SC...

Hi!  I currently live in WA State (dh is Air Force) and we will be moving to SC sometime between October and January.  Hopefully October...since driving across the country will be easier in the Fall than in the middle of Winter.   We will be moving to Shaw AFB.

Anyway, just looking to connect with people who are over there!  I had my surgery Feb 27th.  Hopefully I can find a surgeon there to do follow up care.

Looking forward to more sunshine!! ~Annie

You are at the base we'd love to be. *My husband anyways* We are at Charleston AFB now and it's about 2 hours from Shaw. I've never been to that base, but I've heard it's really small and far away from everything. Congrats on your surgery. Sorry I can't help you with that area more but there are some upstate girls on here that can. Good luck with your move.

Thanks for the welcome!  It's going to be quite the move for us...though I'm excited.  Just hoping it's going to be October...and not january!  I know we'll be going down to Charleston once in a while. ~Annie

Welcome to the SC Board & Welcome to South Carolina !My Dr. is Marc Antonetti, he is out of Columbia & I think he is the best Dr in the WOLRD !!  lol and no he doesnt give a reduced rate , he did however save my life a couple times after I was being stupid !If you want to know more about his group just let me know. Again Welcome aboard & Congrats on your progress!! Allen

welcome to SC (soon!) LOL

Thank you!

Wow ~ you've done great.  I live in Summerville ~ near Charleston, but have good friends in Sumter, where Shaw is.  It's a nice town and only about 2 hours from downtown Charleston.  The base is on the outskirts of town but not in the boonies! I hope you have a safe trip and look forward to meeting you. Dollie

Thanks, Dollie!  I can't wait to explore South Carolina and the surrounding states (especially Disney World lol).  I have never been to the Atlantic Coast - grew up in Oregon on the Pacific Coast.  I have to tell you, Oregon has some of the most beautiful coastline!  It's unlike anything you see anywhere else.  And I've driven from Oregon down to Southern California along the coast. I'm excited to explore another coastline...does the ocean get warm there?  I know in Florida it does, but does it as well in SC?  OOOHHH!! I'm so excited.  

We are currently near family, and my mom just cried and cried when I told her we were moving across the country...I told her she'll have to come visit...that made her feel a little bit better.

Anyway, I'm just rambling now!

Yes, the oceqan gets warm ~ into the 80's in the summertime (that's when we have to worry about the hurricanes).  We were in Cozumel last week and the ocean is already 80 there. I lived in Washington when I was a pre-teen.  We lived in Bremerton.  I loved it there. Please stay in touch

My husband is from Oregon. We visit every Summer. Last Summer we went to the beaches and they are very much different from the ones here in South Carolina. The water was cold at night we had to wear long pants and sweat shirts. Here in South Carolina it gets VERY hot and humid. So be prepared for the humidity. It's awful.
