After 1 1/2 years here I'm still looking, but I'm hopeful that when we move to Philadelphia next year I'll have better luck connecting with someone. I think that in someways, Okinawa was such a magical and special place that it's hard to find something that matches it. Here's hoping that 2007 brings lots of new friendships, and the renewal of old ones.

It always seemed to take soo much time to meet that "special" friend that you could call on any time without feeling self conscious. I remember that after the kids left for school and dad for work, I would take long walks by the bay and think that I would never have another good friend. The good news is that there are other women out there that are looking for the same kind of a relationship and if you do things that you enjoy doing you will meet some of them.<BR/>Love, MomMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11504505417780478629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-1166745675483154562006-12-21T19:01:00.000-05:002006-12-21T19:01:00.000-05:00Awww sweetie, it is hard.

I feel like the weird crazy woman tagging along, so I often opt out.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11159769159285590859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20750927.post-1166660038443577342006-12-20T19:13:00.000-05:002006-12-20T19:13:00.000-05:00Amy is going through the same thing, and she actua...Amy is going through the same thing, and she actually walked up and rang the doorbell of a woman we saw on Halloween that has a girl the same age as Abby. Ding dong! What courage that took.<BR/><BR/>I think it's good to hope, but realistically you'll find few couples to do things with, especially with kids. Amy has friends that she hangs out with and I have people that speak to me occasionally (closest I have to friends) but when we actually get time to do something we do it together. Entertaining at home is usually just one of us tolerating the spouse of the friend without any real hope of it going anywhere.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
