I can't help but feel massive pride today. After 5 long and sometimes lonely weeks, my Sassy made new girlfriends!
Even I, expressive/expressive type A extrovert, have to admit that moving 1,600 miles away from home and making new friends would be hard. It would be one thing if you had a "thing"... "I'm a pediatric neurologist working on a grant to treat blah, blah, blah..." but for all of us totally ordinary people, it can be hard.
So she led with what she is FANTASTIC at... being a momma. She hit a home run.
I had planned to take over on my visit and knock on every door around her to introduce her. I'm certain she is so glad that won't happen now. Or maybe I still will, just for fun. :)
Not only did she make one friend but she found a group. And of course, they totally embraced her and Nugget. Because she is fabulous. Of course I may be biased.
Oh, and apparently she found a totally cool coffee place with a kid's playplace in it. How genius is that?!? I think I could franchise that here in the midwest... I know a lot of stay at home's that love coffee and are looking for ways to offload their kids for 30 minutes or so (or 4 hours... I'm not judging).
Java Mama.... I am TOTALLY loving this place!
I could just hear the excitement in her voice yesterday as she told me about her adventures. I'm so happy for her. My cup runneth over today!

YAY!!! I knew she would make friends. Is the coffee shop on base? Don't know if you know this or not but I have had a dream to open a coffee shop/mercantile for EVER. I like the kid twist. As a stay home Mom who has lived away from family for most of the time that I've had kids(and had a VERY hard time making friends) I would have LOVED to have had someplace like that!!!
