Friends

i have been in florida for almost 10 years now and am very happy i have been able to expand my circle of friends since i had nicholas.....i joined a mom's group from yahoo of local moms when nicholas was about 2 1/2 months old....one of the members was a neighbor of mine and invited me to join this group called Angelplay....as the last 18 months have passed many members have come and gone and i haven't really had a chance to get to know them....a few have left the area with their families for new starts....some have left because they never felt like they belonged....some have left due to conflict......and the core few that i call my friends have stuck around.....i'm very fortunate to have Brooke, Kara, Deborah and Melissa in my life....i wish i talked to kelly more since we have boys the same age, but she doesn't seem to be around much....i feel like some of the mom's just don't know how to make time for their friends.....i'm always open to meeting new people and would love to expand my circe more....get to know some more great women that i can call friends...this group that i am in has been a life saver for me since i have family here but no friends from work since i work in a small office, no friends from when i was a teacher (lost contact with them all except one who i catch up with every 6 months or so).....i guess the point of my post is to say that i am very happy i found this group of great women and i know that i consider them all friends.....

I couldn't agree more. This group of friends is important to me. Sure, I don't see everyone on a daily or even weekly basis, but we keep in touch. I love this group of friends...I wished I lived closer so that I could spend more time with you...looking forward to a mom's day soon.
