Vent
in Married Life
Things I don't like in my life right now: my job, being so far from my family, being sick (I have the flu), my lack of friends, the town we live in and how we can't find a church.
Things I like: my husband, husband's friends, that we both have jobs, our cat.
Basically I've felt horrible this week and have had more time than is good to dwell on how much I don't like right now. I do know that I am very blessed and have many wonderful things in my life but I just haven't felt it lately. And I don't want to tell my husband because he takes the blame that we have to be here (for his job) and away from all my friends and family. I just needed to vent somewhere.

Re: Vent
Being sick makes everything look like it's coming up cruddy. Hang in there. And, since you're home - stuck with day time TV, in a silent home, you are probably doing a lot of day dreaming and thinking.
How long have you been in this new location?
Is it a college town then, lots of college-aged people and not many you feel like you can connect with?
Are there any hobbies or interests you have or would consider taking up to maybe meet new people at groups or clubs? A gym? Pool? Tennis? Golf?
What about contacts at work?
And, what are you hoping for in a church? Or, are you intersted in a certain denomination?
Keep trying on a church if you can get involved there that will help you meet couples, and get involved with other women in Bible studies and stuff. I think if you can get that figured out it will help a lot of other areas.
Good luck

We live in Daytona Beach, which is a weird combination of college age and retired. There is a lack of people our age who aren't single.
I am going to join the junior league, or at least try. Work isn't really somewhere I will find people to hang out with, seeing as how most people are older than me and no one has ever breached doing anything with me outside of work.
As for church I was raised in the United Methodist Church and I'm on a global board so I feel like I should go to a UMC church since I'm involved at such a level.
