If you've ever moved before, you've probably felt the feelings that I'm feeling right about now. After the newness of everything wears off, and you get mostly settled in, the moving blues sets in. I don't know about you, but I start missing my old place, old friends, and get really, really bored.
Because here's the thing... all the things that used to keep you busy in your old place? Yeah, those are gone. All the old friends you used to hang out with on the weekends? Yup, those are gone, too. So after the busy unpacking and putting things where I like it and all that mess ends, where does that leave me? Sitting at home wondering what the heck I'm going to do with myself.
It's not that I'm not making friends. I am. I've started running with some awesome ladies in my neighborhood. I've gone places with my kids. I've got my husband's family here to visit with. It's not all bad. I just get in slumps where I miss Alabama. I miss my family back home. I miss my old friends. Ya know, the usual.
So that's where I'm at. I have a more fun post planned for later when I actually get around to uploading some pictures from my phone. Sorry for the Debbie Downer post, but I figure that's all part of being new to a place, right? Adjusting and... well, working through the moving blues as best I can.
