In the Eye of the Storm

As we all know, our friends to the south of us are in harm’s way and we pray for safety for all of those fleeing the storm and those that have already evacuated.  Our South Carolina, Georgia and Florida friends have their own struggles when it comes to the weather.  Just as we, here in North Carolina have ours; the cold, snow, and ice in the winter and the tornadoes in the spring.  No matter where you choose to live, you will find good things and not so good things.  Weather or whatever it is, it’s a balancing act –  and we must learn to deal with the good and the bad.  It’s good to know that here in Murphy, NC and the surrounding areas, you’ll find good friends to help you through whatever comes your way.  Just as I know our friends in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida have friends to help in time of trouble also.  

When relocating, there’s one thing money can’t buy and that’s good neighbor’s!  We, here at The Goebel Team, know that when we help you find your forever home, we aren’t just helping you find a house.  We are helping you find and fit into a community!  And that community, no matter how small or large, will be there with you to enjoy the thrilling times of life but will also be there to help each other during the hard times too.  Just as I know our friends to the south are finding comfort in the help of neighbors and friends, both far and near.  

So, during this time of uncertainty for so many, may we lift up our prayers for them all and do what we can to help!   And here’s how you can help- follow this link to the safety check page on Facebook and either mark yourself safe to let your friends and family know or ask your friends and family if they are safe!   If we all do what we can, it makes the hard times a little easier!    

 Dear friends, our thoughts and prayers are with you

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS!

Small Town Fun!!

Friday night lights!!  FOOTBALL IN THE SOUTH!  It’s just one of the things we do for fun here in Murphy, NC!  Friday night under the lights is a big deal in the south, in general.  This past Friday night, the four of us enjoyed cheering on the Murphy Bulldogs!  We had a blast.  And the team didn’t do too badly either – 42 to 13 was the final score – 

GO DAWGS!!    

So what’s it like going to a game?  First of all, it’s a sensory experience.  You feel the chill of the fall air, you hear the sounds of the whistle blowing and the crashing of helmets and pads, you smell the hot dogs in the concession stand, and you see your friends or family as you walk down the steps to take your seat. 

And it’s a small community – you are bound to see people you know.  And ya know what?  That’s really part of it.  We go to the game to support OUR team – the community takes pride in our schools and sports teams.  And we enjoy seeing our friends and family and rooting for our team together.  

Children grow up going to the games and I’m no different – it was a rite of passage as a child to finally be able to go the game with your friends.  We see lots of children at the game, playing and having fun, not really focused on the game at all, but doing what they do and loving it!  And here I am today, still going to the game with friends and enjoying every minute of it! 

So if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live in a small town and wondered what on earth we do for fun here…. 

just come to Murphy, NC and experience the thrill of a 

FRIDAY NIGHT UNDER THE LIGHTS – MURPHY BULLDOGS STYLE!!
