I've noticed a pattern with my blogging. I seem to mostly blog the happy things in my life and let the other things fade from my memory. My goal is to print up my blog for the whole year, bind it into a book, and call it a journal. That got me to thinking... if this is my journal...am I being honest with myself if I sift out the bad? Should I blog the days when I'm feeling a little blue? It's not fun for others to read, but maybe it's good for me to remember???
So that leads me to today... I know we've only been in our new house for a little over a month, but I'm feeling like it's time that I started getting to know people. I've been going to the enrichment meetings and the weekly playgroup, but I stil feel like I'm looking out onto a sea of nameless faces that are stil kind of all a blur. There's yet to be someone who I just 'click' with and it's really bumming me out. Where are you magical person from my imagination who is exactly like me? I was looking forward to your three little girls becomming BFF's with mine. If you're reading this... give me a call! We can take the kids to the splash park and then do lunch and get pedicures...
Darn it! I guess life doesn't really work that way. Woe is me.

I totally understand! I felt like that for a long time after moving in here. I FINALLY feel like I have good friends. It'll happen!
They say you have to give yourself two years for things to really feel like home.
Hang in there, it will get better!
I could have written this same post. It's so dang hard. We were in that old ward for 7 years, so this is so hard. It's not that people aren't nice-just hard to fit into groups already formed. I keep telling myself it's only been 2 months and I really have to give it a year. I also am making myself go to things that I probably wouldn't normally attend (just like you said you are doing) Ok, let's check on each other a year from now and see how it is! :)
Oh Sarah!!!! I haven't checked blogs in forever and now I've read yours and I'm so sad for you. I totally understand and can relate. It took another new person in the ward to ease me into things here. She and I just clung to each other as we both dove into the world of being social with people who have known each other forever. Just remember, you are a FABULOUS person and there is another FABULOUS gal out there who needs you as a friend just as much as you need her.
I miss you!!
