It's only been a short time - you will eventually feel the need and want to venture out and explore your new town but for right now it sounds like you are all reconnecting with each other and starting to lay roots in your new home! Enjoy it while it lasts!!

Now with a baby and a new big city to learn (and all that parallel parking which I stink at!) I've found it easier to just stay home. But if I lived on the beach... I don't think I would ever do anything other then go out in my backyard!

I actually just told myself I HAVE to plan more play dates. I need to get out more, do more, plan more. I'm just tired and it's easier to stay home. Pathetic, I know. I guess after 11 years in NYC, I'm enjoying the quiet! <br /><br />I wish we had a beach in our backyard!

We just moved in January so - that's been our vacation spot. I love being home with my babies and my knocked down Christmas tree.<br /><br />Good luck tonight and grab up some yumtastic recipes to make while your listening to the ocean. I miss living by the beach.

The atmosphere is so relaxing, I think it just seeps into your skin and takes over. Lol. I know it does for me, anyway. :) I hope you have fun at the group gathering. If not, there's nothing wrong with being a hermit. You have your family and you have God. They're the most important things. And a new Bible study group could really help bringing you out of your shell if you're really itching to get out. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Then again, I could be saying this because I myself am a bit of a hermit and am just used to it. So, <i>is</i> that a good thing? Lol. Hope you have a good time tonight, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-67467951066428657412009-12-17T10:07:36.550-05:002009-12-17T10:07:36.550-05:00Sometimes it is nice to just slow down for a while...Sometimes it is nice to just slow down for a while. I think sometimes we over do it and don't know how to just be. It is good for our kids as well to learn how to play and be happy just being home sometimes. Sounds like they have figured that out! I think as long as you still make time for yourself to get out then your are doing just fine being a hermit!!
