Day 59 - Roots

In my adult life I have relocated 3 times. First to Vancouver for 3 years, then to Virginia for 5 years, and now we're 2 years into our Indianola lives. This is our final stop. We love Indianola for so many reasons and I finally feel home. Making friends in a new place as an adult is difficult. People are busy, they generally already have a set group of friends and don't need to add more, and finding people with similar values/hobbies/etc. doesn't always happen right away. I've been working on establishing our roots in Indianola and building our friend network. Sometimes I get frustrated and feel like I’m not really getting anywhere. Well, tonight was the opposite of that. We went to the Kid's Halloween Party at the Clubhouse and between neighbors, friends we've made along the way, and Paul's preschool class, we knew most of the people at the party. It was so great and fun and it feels so good to know we're really getting established in our home. Oh- and it was Halloween and these little munchkins are adorable!
