One of the main reasons Jeff and I chose Charleston as our new home was because we both dreaded Indiana winters. The cold is one thing, and let me tell you we both hate the cold. But, the never ending dreary skies and days upon days with no sunshine was what really bothered us both. I must say, we have both truly enjoyed our first South Carolina winter thus far. We love the sun! I think it's therapeutic to wake up and see the sunshine almost every morning. Not to mention my skin is not dry and I don't feel stir crazy because we are able to get outside and play nearly every day.
Now I'm not trying to say that everything is perfect in Charleston because the sun shines most days of the year. Charleston has it's faults too, that's for sure. But, we're really enjoying exploring our new surroundings and discovering all that the area has to offer. We try to see something new every week, and we've been fortunate to be able to take some mini road trips because Jeff has every other week off. We love that the beach is 15 minutes away, and the mountains are only a short drive North. Now if we could just convince some of our friends and family to move here...
We pray that God will continue to bring people into our lives so that we can build strong friendships here. The great thing is that there are so many transplants here, so there are many people in the same situation as us, with little or no family nearby. We know we will meet some great people and have a Charleston 'family' eventually. We know this will take some time. In the meantime, we'll continue to soak up some rays and explore all that Charleston has to offer, and hope that we can convince some people to come visit and enjoy it with us!
