If you are planning a move, here are a few suggestions from a Moore County Military Spouse Mom of two:

1) Get on preschool waitlists EARLY. Registration is typically in January and most of the schools will have a waitlist. Ask Facebook groups in the area for suggestions on where you look and act quick.

2) Find a real estate agent who is a military spouse or has lived here a long time. Military spouses truly just "get it" and what factors you may be looking for, such as commute times and community.

3). Join a gym! Okay, this may be specific to the area, but there are some amazing gym communities in town and the greatest way to make friends fast. Whether you are wanting to bring kids into your workout, (SLAM is a great option for this) or looking for a place with childcare available on site or a Crossfit Box, our area is full of folks looking for wellness.

4). Check the local events for free fun. Come spring time the Pines comes alive with outdoor festivals and concerts and the entire town goes. It is a great place to start hanging out socially and with a town this small...you will surely know people soon at these events!
