Circa 2001

This somehow reminds me of my first blog that I started circa 2001 on Live Journal. Oh how things have changed in the last ten years! The big D, shortly after leaving the big A-K, make ups, break ups, man eater, Army, nicotine, booze, Bragg, Morningstars, love, (Randy's bad big D) marriage, baby carriage. I'm pretty excited about blogging again. I just don't know if it will be as interesting as a 20 year olds thoughts and musings...who knows. Now it will be deeper and more informed. Less about drinking and more about thinking... Exploits of a married Mommy. Raising my Eden, and my Randy for that matter.

I'm so bored. There are no women to talk to at Fort Jackson. I have done the cafe mom thing trying to find a playdate for Eden and I. It gets to the point were I feel like I am pimping us out. This post is so small and nothing like what I am used to. At Fort Rich, I had tons of friends. Same at Fort Gordon, and Fort Bragg. This is the twilight zone. Noone comes out of their houses ever. They don't speak. So weird. I need some adult conversation. And, I'm about 110% sure Eden is sick at looking at my face. We need friends. We are social creatures.

The hardest part is Randy loving it here. Heather and I talked about that the other day. How do you tell your husband how bad you hate something when he really enjoys it there? Suffer in silence I suppose. They have friends. They are close with the guys they work with. Thank GOD for free long distance.

  1. How long have you guys been there? I'm sorry it's so lonely for you so far. I have no doubt that you will have a ton of friends soon, you always do! No one can resist your charming southern belle-ness. You could sell ice to Eskimos, sand to Arabs, etc., cliche, etc. You know this!
