Maybe it is because Ryan is in the field and I am by myself.
Maybe it is because I haven't found a job, or gotten to really make friends yet.
Maybe it is because I have talked more to my dog today than any other human.
Maybe it is because it rained all day. And will all week if the forecast is correct.
I miss Alexandria. I miss Old Town. I miss DC. I miss my friends. I miss my job. I miss cobblestones and brick and long walks with gorgeous row homes.
I know it takes time. I know it has only been a month. But tonight I am lonely and sad and I can gripe here because it is my blog. I will keep trying... I know in a few months I will find my stride. It just isn't happening tonight.
Can I gripe with you? Haha all my friends have moved away and I'm stuck in hometown with no one that are friends! All mine moved away got married and have babies! I love the awkward phases of life dont you ( sarcasm) lol wish there was a font for that! I will be praying for things to turn up for you! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm nervous about our move for some of these same reasons. Hope you start feeling better, soon!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty place! It's only been a bit, you'll adjust :)
ReplyDeleteWe need to take a trip to either Wilmington or New Bern. They both have that beautiful brick side walk/cobblestone/old mansion feel and will make you feel like you are home. I'll make some plans with Nicole and we will kidnap you :-)
ReplyDeleteHey! Just found your blog on the military blog directory. What base are you at? We just moved to Lejeune and I haven't met many people yet either!
ReplyDeleteWe miss you here too, Allie! Its just not the same :(

PS: Thanks for the card for us, so thoughtful :)
You're not the only one; I've felt really homesick lately too. It's been raining here a lot and that doesn't help anything! I hope you have a good weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you can meet some friends soon! It's tough being somewhere new and finding "your people." I felt like it took me FOREVER and a day to locate my current friends. It's never easy, but always worth it right? Hope the field training is over soon!!
ReplyDeleteAwe girl! I totally know what you're going through! Keep your chin up (as I know you will! :) ) You got this! :-)
ReplyDeleteHey! Just found your blog from the blog directory. I get homesick a lot. I'm from the west coast and we've been transplanted to the midwest because of my husband's school. Hang in there!
ReplyDelete:( I would miss it too. But I hope that you'll make new friends and find new awesome places soon!
ReplyDeleteBefore I fell off the bloggy train I used to follow you all the time and now that I'm back I'm so happy to see you've moved near Camp Lejeune! Thats where I live! We should get together, its not as terrible here as it seems. I promise! Hang in there :)
ReplyDeleteAND I was just reminded by your "about me" that you're from NJ! Me too!!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to be in a new place. Always takes me at least 6 months, sometimes longer to really feel like a new place is home for me.
ReplyDeletecome back and be my friend! LOL
