I have had trouble in the past meeting people. I am sometimes shy when I first meet people. Armydad says that sometimes my shyness comes off as being a snob… So, I have tried really hard and made a great effort to meet people here. And it is working!
I met the wife of a guy in Armydad’s unit online before we got out here. She and I have really hit it off and become great friends! She has a daughter around the boys’ ages, so we get the kids together from time to time. I have also made friends with a few of the neighbors.
I had my first experience with the Army life of saying ‘good-bye’ very quickly. When we moved in, we clicked right away with our neighbors across the street. They had 2 kids and were so down to earth and friendly. They moved out 3 weeks after we moved in. I was sad to already lose one of the friends I had made…
I am little worried that I have hit a wall and will not meet more people now. Unless new people move in, I doubt I will make friends with any more neighbors. With the boys school schedule, I am struggling to find a time that I could join a Moms group or a Bible study. But, I keep reminding myself that it will happen when it is supposed to. I am sure when our time here ends, we will have many people to say good-bye to…
