I've gotten pretty much situated here in Oklahoma. Thought I would meet new people pretty easily, but still, it's basically just me and John. My coworkers are all great. But at the clinic it's always me and the assistant. And everyone's got families and lives of their own, so kind of makes it hard to go out after work if they've got to get home to a husband and crying babies :( John's more than adjusting to his work place. He's thriving. His office is beautiful. Beautiful! and they've got an awesome game room with Wii, foosball table, and flat screen TVs. There's even a nap room. It's a young team located in a college town, thus most of the employees are 20 somethings, single, smart, college educated. They're more than just coworkers, these guys are friends. I've met them. Hung out with them. It was awkward. They've got their own inside jokes, and talk about work most of the time. I am a total outsider. The fifth wheel. But I come because John's asks me to come. I know he feels bad that he's made friends and I haven't. After a few times of going out with his team, I got bored. I didn't even want to make and effort to fit in anymore. The truth is, I'm not stressing over the fact that I don't get along with them. Of course I miss going out with friends, but at this point, I'm doing ok with it just being me and John... and Holly. I've been searching for clubs to join or volunteer work to do to keep things interesting. But no motivation, yet. Yet.

Awwww Amy, we miss you! Hope you make some friends soon! It's the same way at my work, everyone's older and already established.

John's workplace sounds so cool. I wish we had a nap room. A 30 minute nap at lunchtime would be so refreshing!

P.S. Are John's friends cute? ;)

I let John read this. He says, and I quote "they can get girlfriends...." whatever that means!

=) Miss ya, Amy. Hope you're not feeling too lonely. Maybe you can find one of those flower arrangement classes that you were talking about to go to in your spare time. I'm sure you're keeping busy w/ the wedding planning.
