This summer, Sallie, Matt, Sam and Kinsey are moving to Raleigh! Sallie has accepted a job with Duke and Matt is seeking employment in the Raleigh area (he is gainfully employed in Boston – head of marketing and communications for a large national nonprofit – if anyone out there needs him, I can forward his resume in a matter of seconds). We can’t get them down here soon enough.
I thought I’d share the top ten things that I believe Matt and Sallie are going to love about Raleigh:
10. Not as much snirt (snow mixed with dirt).
9. We throw our empty bottles of liquor in the recycle bin.
8. No Maritime museums where you have to look at Uncle Jesse in too small dress-up clothes.
7. If you’re a witch, less chance you’ll get burned at the stake.
- Site of the Salem Witch Trials (or close)
6. No toll roads – ahh, well maybe we shouldn’t really count that one (North Carolina Turnpike Authority – ooops!).
I'm not sure what this is and I'm not 100% comfortable sleeping in the same town with it tonight.
4. No need for locks on your hub caps – seriously, they just bought a new minivan and opted for the hub cap locks (we do not have hub cap locks in NC).
3. I think there may be a Fatima’s franchise in Wake County.
Fatima's Psychic Studio
2. Warmer climate; no need for a hat like this.
DJ's cheer pom poms weren't that big
And the number one reason Matt and Sallie are going to love Raleigh:
1. They may be sited in this blog more often!
