 Went out to the Asheville area last visit and I can see us out there in a few years. I can sell my house up here and get twice the house for half the money.

 Is she at UNC-Asheville?  Beautiful area.
I used to go to the Raleigh/Durham area a few times a year for work.  That was a hopping, booming area with the big schools.  
I know a little about the Charlotte suburbs, enough to know they are cheap and booming.
Going to the Outer Banks this summer for the first time ever, cannot wait.  
I love what I have seen of NC.  You get the low taxes and milder weather, without the culture shock of the deep south.  There are places in NC where you might never hear a southern accent, because everybody is a tax refugee from New England.
