Misty, I can empathize with your situation. DH and I moved here about 2 years ago (before we were married, actually). I seriously have NO friends here! The ladies at work are nice, but we don't do anything outside of work. My husband has met people through his work, but it's guys, and all they basically do is play poker. When he's with the guys or has to work a night, then I sit home and mope. I can't think of a thing to do to keep myself entertained, and then that makes me feel like a loser! I hope things go well with visiting your friend. Just remember that we'll be thinking about you, and hoping your weekend is going well.

Misty-Good luck this weekend...YOU CAN DO THIS! I can totally relate to you on having only one friend. We just moved to LA from Alabama and had to leave all my friends. My family is in TN...so I have no one. DH's family is in AL. I have made friends with some neighbors but no one really close. It can be really tough. Some days all I feel like is Wife to DH and Mom to DD...that is my only role in life. You have to have some kind of outlet or we will drive ourselves crazy. I hope that your friend will be supportive of you this weekend. I know you can do well with this. Oh and as for the exercise..I'm glad you decided to cut back a bit..you will be burned out before you know it if not. I think I am going to cut back to 5 days a week b/c I am getting burned out already after 8 weeks. Be safe and have fun!
