Caroline Blogs

My name is Caroline and I am a 23-year-old living in Charlotte, NC. My boyfriend and I moved here over the summer of 2013 to be closer to my family (who just moved to Huntersville, NC from Hendersonville, NC).

I’m a born and raised North Carolinian. I love the Tar Heel state… vinegar BBQ and all! I spent my childhood in Morganton/Burke County and my teenage years in the grand metropolis of “Mills River.” For those of you who aren’t familiar, it’s near Hendersonville… for those who aren’t familiar, it’s near Asheville… for those who aren’t familiar, that’s where the Biltmore Estate is.

Since graduating from high school in 2008, I have spent my time “sampling” different college experiences. (That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.) I spent a year at High Point University, 3 years at Appalachian State University studying Elementary Education, and then took a year off to live and work in Raleigh, NC- where I met my wonderful boyfriend, Brian. I have now returned to student life and am completing a Bachelor’s in Sociology at the UNC- Charlotte.

When I’m not on campus pushing my way through crowds of annoying 19-year-old sorority sisters whose shorts barely cover their tuttis, I’m usually at my father’s house helping to care for my new nephew, William aka Willie P… in addition to entertaining my youngest sister, Mary Katherine, with my weirdness. It’s a very glamorous life! I change stinky diapers, experiment with the crock-pot, try to keep our ancient shih tzu “Twisty” alive, and press on Mary Katherine’s nerves by making “chore charts,” etc. On Sunday mornings, we all attend Huntersville United Methodist where my Dad is actually the minister. PKs unite!

I’ve blogged before but inconsistently. I wanted to pick it up again because I do enjoy writing and because it feels like there’s a lot going on in my life, a lot of changes... A new city, a growing family, nearing the end of my rather long college career, and a progressing relationship. Sounds like amateur blog material to me…

Call me Quirky

I don’t actually think I’m funny… but the strangest things happen to me… and I tend to handle these situations with very little grace… which is sometimes humorous. #WTF #FML

Attempts at Domesticity

Learning the art of cooking, housekeeping, and child rearing. And by art, I mean, like, finger-painting. #pinspiration #nailedit

Sharing is Caring

Things I like, things that do not belong to me, things worth sharing. #checkthisout #caretoshare
