Making Friends

Since we just recently moved to a new place... we really don't know many people. It is hardest for the kids I think. From the looks of things, the kids are adapting very well. We have only been here about a week now. My son, Zackerie, has already made several friends. He is actually already on his 2nd sleep over. So far, he has been invited over for dinner and a movie with one friend and to a football practice with another. Last night he stayed over at the neighbor’s house and tonight he has the same neighbor staying here. He is just so outgoing! I am truly lucky that he makes friends easily. Of course, he has his sister, Chelsea, not far behind him. She has a new best friend at school and another friend down the street. Unfortunately, we don't have that many girls on our street... mostly boys! At least she likes to play with the boys as well. She wanted to spend the night with Zackerie and our neighbor, but I didn't let her because it was all boys. Never can be too careful if you know what I mean.

Now I, myself, don't really make friends that easily. Most would call me just be picky or even just a bit shy. I'm really not sure what the TRUE reason would be. Perhaps it is a bit of both. I take my friendships very seriously! I have had the same best friend for the past 11 or so years. She is the one and only friend that I could TRULY rely on. She has been like a sister to me. I love her very much and I hope that she knows that. I hated to have to leave her. Our children grew up together thus far. We would see each other every week for the longest and about 1 year ago... we kind of got off track. I didn't get to see her and her family nearly as often. It would actually be months between visits. She had things going on as well as I did. I am now about 3 hours away from her instead of 1 hour. I really miss her and my boys. I just hope that we don't loose touch like I did with my previous best friend from high school. At least for me... it is just to darn hard to find another person as wonderful as she is!!!!

So this is for her... Stay in touch and never forget us!!! We all love and miss you greatly Trista!!! Make sure to tell the boys the same! :P

I know what you mean. I have my best friend from high school. But we rarely talk or even email. When we do, we can pick right up like nothing happened! I don't know why we don't communicate more. Ever since, it's like I compared the women I met to her and they never matched up! Well, I finally quit doing that and made a few good friends at our last Air Force base, but now moved in July to NC. I have yet to make friends. I just can't seem to meet anyone. I am also picky and some shy, but yet outgoing. I just don't like to always have to be the one to start the friendship. It makes you think people didn't want to be friends with you. Plus, my husband tries to get me to go out and do things but I don't want too, I hole myself in my house and then complain I don't have friends! Go figure, I want the cake and eat it too! Sometimes, I just want him for only best friend, and I know that I need my space and him too with other people. oh well

That is a very interesting statement. It truly makes a lot of sense to me. I do the exact same thing, lol!
