Same Old, Same Old

I have a whole new respect for single people who move to a new city. It's hard for me being here without any friends or family, but I have Darby, which makes a HUGE difference. If I didn't have him, most days I would not interact with anyone. Of course, I guess it could also be argued that were I single I probably wouldn't have moved somewhere without being enrolled in school or having a job first. Still, I think it takes an incredible amount of courage to live on your own in a new place, so props to everyone who's done that. I can't say whether I would have been strong enough to do the same.

I'm starting to go just a little stir-crazy. I've been watching a lot of TV and spending a lot of time on the Internet. Part of it's my own fault. I could do more productive things, like reading, organizing, or scrapbooking. I just let myself get sucked in. But, the church that Darby and I have been visiting is having a young marrieds get-together tomorrow night, so we get to interact with other people! We are both SO excited; it's pretty funny. It is kind of nice how much we look forward to church now, though. I always enjoyed going in Abilene, but I never got excited about it like I do now that it's our only opportunity to talk to people and meet potential friends.

I hope your get together goes well. Even though it can be lonely moving to a nice place, it's so nice to know that no matter where you go, you can find a church family. I pray that God will bless you and Darby with a lot of close friends quickly. Can't wait to hear how it goes!!!

I didn't mean a nice place, I meant a NEW place.
