Well, I took the plunge…I got my South Carolina drivers license, title and license plate yesterday. It is the first time I have ever had anything but North Carolina. I have to admit, it was hard and a little sad! I love my home state of North Carolina, and especially that sweet little town of Boone. But, somehow being here with Michael made it okay- this is our home right now. He is my home. And we are making our home a great little place. (I am not sure I could live anywhere else in SC but the Charleston area though!). And I know we will go back to North Carolina one day.
We are really enjoying our time in Charleston so far. It’s hard to believe 5 weeks have already passed since we moved in. I feel as though we have done more in our time here than the whole time we were in New England. It might not have helped that for many of those months in Massachusetts, we were buried under snow! Charleston is such a warm and lively place to live. It has the ocean, rivers, live music, trails, delicious food, great churches, THE bridge, wonderful people, and the epitome of SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY. Oh how I have missed that. And, it doesn’t hurt that we live in a destination place where so many people love to visit. In fact, we got to have dinner with two of our NEWLYWED friends (Jason and Erin Huprich) downtown on Wednesday night who were on their honeymoon!! How unique; we felt honored.
So though I may not wave my confederate flag, I will certainly eat some shrimp n’ grits and catch some sun in my new home of Charleston. And visit North Carolina as often as I can. J
