SETTLING IN CHARLESTON




We returned to Charleston on August 8th. Our apartment was available on Friday the 10th, so we spent that day moving in. Through our new church family, God supplied many of the things we needed for our new home. In addition to the gifts of furniture and household goods, the church collected a love offering for us which was exactly the amount we needed to buy our beds. They also had a "pounding" for us which provided us with many grocery items.

Our apartment is 6.5 miles from school and has easy access to both major roads that lead to our school. Between our home and school, we have all the conveniences we need such as our bank and shopping.




Our apartment is upstairs and has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a kitchen, a utility room, and a large living/dining area with a skylight and a wood burning fireplace (although I'm not sure we'll have reason to use it). We especially enjoy the balcony/deck off the living room. The complex has a nice pool and an exercise room. The grounds are nicely landscaped and well maintained.
