Possibly the most embarassing LO I've ever made...

Journaling reads-

Making friends as an adult is weird. I saw a meme once that said something like “When you’re in your 20’s, you’re making new friends all the time, but when you’re in your 30’s, you assume everyone already has all the friends they need, so you don’t make the effort”.

I’ve kind of found this to be true. All of my friends are “old friends”, friends I’ve had most of my life, or friends I made at work years ago. We moved to a new town almost three years ago and I haven’t made any friends here. The only time we make new friends is when one of our old friends gets married. I have made lots of internet friends, but we haven’t taken the next step to IRL.

Jason and I watch those House Crashers shows on HGTV, and when they tell the couple “Tell all your friends to meet us here tomorrow morning and we’ll get to work!”, we always laugh because “all our friends” in town would be a very small demolition crew of two people.

I’m not sad about it though. I’m very good at keeping myself occupied, and I actually think our marriage is stronger because we’re somewhat isolated and we’ve had to work out our issues without any outside input. Though I’m sure Jason would like to have some guys to play video games with. And it might be nice to go bra shopping with someone who actually has boobs, instead of poor Jason standing around awkwardly looking at his phone. But you can’t really put it out there that you’re looking for a new friend to go bra shopping with, can you? Because that would be weird.
