I just moved into a new ward...even though its 5 minutes from old house but I have to make new friends again....Its hard no matter how old you are!!Dormanetalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16810548813751682217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640553438635983433.post-27071553987887280062010-04-16T14:04:53.904-07:002010-04-16T14:04:53.904-07:00We have the opposite problem...And while it's ...We have the opposite problem...And while it's nice to not have to move, it's hard to watch everyone else around you move on and up in their lives. We've made some great friends here, but it's hard watching them move on, just like I'm sure it's hard for all of your friends to watch you move away. Think of it this way...You're not leaving friends behind or losing them, you're gaining great new ones that you can connect with everywhere. :)Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10667067226914581203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640553438635983433.post-84597264318286905422010-04-14T12:01:10.623-07:002010-04-14T12:01:10.623-07:00Moving is hard, and when you're not in the sam...Moving is hard, and when you're not in the same place for very long, it's really hard to form true friendships.<br /><br />Even more so when you're at home with a little one.<br /><br />Come on over this week. I'll home from 9 until 3 every day. Getting out of the house always makes me feel better, so come on over, we can hang out or work on projects or whatever. :)Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823428234052414689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640553438635983433.post-86368532396274137162010-04-14T11:47:50.743-07:002010-04-14T11:47:50.743-07:00Heather, How hard!

It changes, once you have people who have to be your friends like class room moms and soccer team parents. It does get better once nathan has friends, because their mom usually becomes a friend to you.<br /><br />I have had the opposite experience as you, and have found that evan living 5 years in the same place, I only made 1 true friend who needed me like I needed her. My experience has been that friends come in to our lives for a season. Your lives match for a little while, and you have the same needs. Then things change, like babies, or school, or you just don't need each other any more. I see those friendships as wonderful, because they got you through the ammount of time you needed them. <br /><br />I have not had a best friend for longer than 1 year since high school because of the changes life gives you. But every friendship served a purpose and is just as sweet as all the others. <br /><br />Good luck! Go out there and find someone just as lonely as you....hehehe, You are fabulous. We miss you, book club was not the same with out you last night.Julie Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589664736180812241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640553438635983433.post-10392302745930612522010-04-14T10:48:04.074-07:002010-04-14T10:48:04.074-07:00I totally feel you.

I told him it isn't the same. I just want a girlfriend or two who really know me.

I often feel the same way~ I always feel like people don't care about me when I care about them, so I am often guarded, as well. Are your in- laws gone? 'Cause I could use some company, too. Seriously~ give me a call.Matt and Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14546999533071378317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640553438635983433.post-84913312103979487002010-04-14T08:47:54.083-07:002010-04-14T08:47:54.083-07:00I'm kinda feeling this way too lately.

I know it's my own fault, but here I am thinking, "Our lease is up in 4 months, why bother anymore?"AlixSteelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01628042377554792395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640553438635983433.post-11684110465391250542010-04-14T07:55:33.355-07:002010-04-14T07:55:33.355-07:00I understand, too.

I think that's what's kind of great about motherhood, though--wherever you go, you can usually find other moms to bond with over what you're going through...and hopefully you get to stay in contact with them somehow! I'm glad you won't have to move for another few years!Fox and Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03034971350581739069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640553438635983433.post-15134770003356782702010-04-14T07:22:56.701-07:002010-04-14T07:22:56.701-07:00I totally get it.

It really is important to have girlfriends that you can go to the movies or out to lunch with. Long distance friends are great... but everyone needs someone RIGHT THERE, too!<br /><br />I hope you find some new friends in your current ward!!j and s (but mainly s)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14930513644006666081noreply@blogger.com
