We're both introverts -- he more than me-- and know that he's going to so tired of talking to people and doing things. But at the same time, we both need to be involved in the community and want to make friends here since we didn't really have a lot at Knox. I think we're going to just get involved in maybe 1 activity outside of church but make sure to schedule down time into our schedules.Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04982156216874612973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312430632143777189.post-86929233757103160582017-07-24T16:46:23.256-04:002017-07-24T16:46:23.256-04:00I'm kind of there now.

So Josh and I are focusing on getting out of debt and decluttering. This means I'm working a lot (so I still get my fair share of interaction there) and spending a lot of time doing tedious things around the house. But it works for us here and when we get to our next duty station we'll have more time and money to explore.

Where you live (we're always off base) is a big factor here. We didn't make friends easily here and my social circle is coworkers just because we live far from base. <br />It's a nice change of pace every few years to change up your experience.<br />I cannot imagine being the senior advisor :(Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12075708535155080258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312430632143777189.post-42715847641340391532017-07-24T14:50:07.867-04:002017-07-24T14:50:07.867-04:00I bet the break was really good for you since now ...I bet the break was really good for you since now you have a kid who'll probably want to be involved in play dates and play groups!

As much as we love hanging out with our friends, sometimes we just need a weekend to be at home by ourselves and just be.
