After returning back to Colorado, I felt like I was doing fine readjusting to our home out here. Then I realized that I really wasn't. I have been extremely moody and easily frusterated/angry/upset/sad lately, and since I can't attribute it to one thing in particular, I will call it the Post Connecticut Blues. It was tough for me to leave our family and friends on the east, and even though I love our home here in Colorado, and I love being here with Tim, I still miss everyone. I think I have reached a turning point though, a place where I can still miss people, but can get back to enjoying this beautiful place where we live and have fun with my husband. That turning point came on Friday evening, when I returned from work and was in a terrible mood, and Tim and I were talking and I was saying that I just couldn't shake this feeling of sadness, and Tim asked me "Have you prayed about it?" Yikes. Nope I didn't, and it was exactly what I needed. How did I get to be so lucky?
And the blessing - since we moved here, we have been wanting to meet people, but (let's face it), we aren't the most outgoing people you will ever meet. We both have a hard time just going up to people and talking with them. Therefore, besides people we already knew from CT, and a few work friends of mine, we havn't really met anyone. And that has been tough. It makes it difficult for this to truly feel like "home". Well, at church with Sarah this past Sunday, I felt like I had finally found a place where Tim and I could meet people...I don't know how to describe it other than I felt at peace and completely comfortable there, and was so excited when married women around our age came up to chat with us after the service. Unfortunatly, Tim was away on business, so he didn't get to meet people, but I can't wait for the next time we can go! Sarah and I are headed to a small group tomorrow night with some people from the church, and I am excited to meet more people. I'm thankful that we might actually be able to meet some people that could become our friends...eek I am such a geek, but this really is such a relief!
* The lead singer of the band at church reminded me of my best friend Nora's husband Joe...he had a red and black flannel shirt with dark hair...maybe that is why I feel like we can be friends with these people? :) hehe
