Will be moving to SC...

Hi! I think you will like our weather here. I'm from Chicago and don't miss the -50 wind chills.

Shaw is a nice small base. Fully self contained. Sumter is about 6 miles from the base. Do you know if you will have onbase housing?

My surgery is on May 28. Dr. Antonetti is my doc. He is located in West Columbia which is about 30-40 miles from Sumter. There are 2 other surgeons with him. They came very highly recommended. They have monthly support groups etc. Everyone is very nice.

Good luck on your trip. Make sure you keep some warm clothes in your hold baggage. It could be chilly here Oct-Nov. And down right cold in January.

Welcome ....... Some super nice people they didnt scare me off yet . ill be moving from KY soon... just dont do grits ....ewe what the hell them things are nasty.....have fun and post we need more people to post....

Hey Grits are good if they are cooked right.   you got to cook them and stir alot so they will be creamy.  they are made of corn.  then put butter and cheese and some bacon or ham in them.  Can't eat them like that no more.  now just lite butter and 2%cheese.    but they have to be cooked to death and creamy before they are good.    Welcome to SC Annie B

Annie! Welcome to the South, girl!! And we DO love our grits!!! ~Melissa

Wow!!! So many responses!!!  I'm truly impressed by how friendly you all seem!  The WA boards are too - but there seems to be mORE activity here.  I can't wait to meet some of you!!  We found out today we will be moving in October!  Very excited...that means we can drive across the country and not have to worry about snow quite yet!  Which means we'll make more money!  And Christmas...we'll be spending at DisneyWorld!!! Woo-hoo!!!

Hey  Annie!  Wishing you a warm welcome to the BEST state there is...SC is awesome y'all will love it here!
