I was lurking on a blog this morning that I often read and it sparked a topic for me. We moved back to my hometown about a year and a half ago. We are what I would consider "normal" people. We are married, have two girls, are educated, etc,etc. But we have had the HARDEST time making friends in this town!! Everyone seems to fall into three categories: 1. Jesus Freaks, 2. Hang out with family exclusively, or 3. Recovering addicts of some kind. So none of these categories work for us because we are 1. We are Episcopalian, booze is a must, 2. My parents are the only fam in town for us, 3. We do not attend AA and that has never been suggested to either of us. Last night, we went to a BBQ with a group of people that were in our age group, drank, and were normal. It felt so good! But it has taken us forever! I'm wondering if this happens to all people our age that move? Why does friendship change so much during this phase? Am I socially retarded and it is me??
Well I think last night was a success and we will see if we get invited to the next round of BBQs. Mouse and JuJuBe scored points for being cute/well behaved and Hubby was, as always, a hit. We shall see!
