TX and FL have no state income tax while NC does. Your state of residency will be where you call home. You vote, drivers license, car insurance, etc all come from the state where you intend to always come back from time away. Only you know which state is your true home.
You and your wife do not have to have the same legal residence but it can make things simpler.
