Living In Two Houses!
Y’all remember how I’ve had so many months to pack for this move? Well, I’ve learned a lot. Number one. I am a HORRIBLE packer. I am 100% the shining example of what NOT to do!

A little nervous (soooooooo lying VERY nervous), a little excited (again…… so lying……VERY excited) and a hefty mix of little dread (NOT lying!). I need help! How do YOU make new friends? As a kid you’re parents move you. You have very little say in the matter. (NO matter what your parents tell you. Sorry kids!) The kids go to school you make new friends. Viola (hopefully) they are happier than ever!! Yes, it takes a little time, but kids are pretty resilient. How do you as adults find new friends? I am looking for ideas. In real life I’m pretty shy until I know you. (seriously! I promise! NOOOO REALLY!!! I AM!!!) I am NOT an athletic 60-year-old. I lean more towards a comfortable couch potato.
