So there have been a few things that have actually been nice about living here...the people here are really nice and they are excited that we are here. They are excited that Jason is going to be working at the college and everyone loves JP. We attending the National Night Out in the park right across from our apartment and that was nice too. It was nice to see people in more of a community setting than you see in NMB. NMB is just such a big area that its hard to have that same sense of community like I had growing up in NJ. I am getting used to being home and keeping myself busy right now with housework and laundry. Thank god classes start soon because I am getting sick of that!
On the other hand there are still things here that I dont see myself ever getting used to. I am honestly lonely here. There are very few people near my age here and because we are meeting people through Pete and Besty, we are meeting older people. Not exactly the kind of people I see myself going out for drinks with (not that there is any respectable place to do that here) or having dinner with. I have found myself wandering through the Dollar General or the Family Dollar here just for something to do during the day. I know that once classes start I will be busy so I am really looking forward to that. I am not looking forward to Jason starting classes though. He will be gone most of the day and night and I will have to do everything for JP alone. It makes it easier to think that we only have to do this for 10 months and we can get back to our lives. People here are talking like we are going to love it here so much that we wont want to go back. These people are what I like to call NUTS!!! There is no way that I could survive living 45-90 minutes away from society for more than this time that we are here.
1 month done...
