The Raleigh World: Eleven Months

Wow. We’re closing in on an entire year in Raleigh. It still blows my mind that I actually moved across the United States. With two cats. (Who hate car rides.)

The Raleigh World: Nine Months

I’m not really in the mood for gestational jokes, so let’s dive on in, shall we? Soccer Season Ends The North Carolina Courage had an amazing end to an unprecedented season.
