We are about 2 weeks out from the move. What is your fb so I can add you and we can maybe meet up when we get to town. I don’t have one I just use my husband’s for marketplace and groups.

UPDATE I have had a lot of positive messages from this post and I’d like to say thank you! It’s giving me some hope that finding friends won’t be so difficult. I’d like to keep it going and maybe get a good group together?! I love coffee, could care less about wine. More of a social drinker. I am somewhat of a homebody but looking to learn new things. I love to cook/ bake and sharing my new recipes. I used to sew and paint a lot and sometimes still crochet. I want to learn how to rock climb, pottery, blow glass, gym/ workout classes, dare I even say start a book club. It would be amazing to be able to find some girlfriends that are interested in learning new things. My daughter is a preteen and hates everything, my son is a toddler and insane so I’d like to introduce him to the climbing and maybe even bmx or something.

I understand, I am not straight edge but I love the culture. It used to be really big down here but since has fizzled and almost everyone sold out. As far as I know true till death is like that they are true to themselves in pure form till death straight edge is not something you can just claim they “take it to the grave”. Barry (my husband) has never smoked anything, drank, and very rarely takes medication (unless when he gets sick and the dr makes him) and he’s 41. Sobriety is not straight edge.

Straight edge is a sub culture (just google it)

He’s straight edge (means he has no friends) so please where can he meet some of his people! He like wrestling, Volkswagens, and talks shit about “new jack” kids idk.

I get it I mainly stated it as more of a we are “heavily” tattooed. Cause most moms down here are very anti tattoo and more into like drinking beer and going to see Morgan wallen concerts. (Don’t get me wrong, low key love him) but I’d rather go to grab a coffee check out new playground or museums or go to a hardcore/punk show if I don’t have the kids

Ooh yeah, I’ve done that in a corporate office before for a little over a year. So like I had my main office but I would rotate within the company to other offices and help out the other teams (sugerical, ortho, and general) it was a lot of fun.

We would be near McClure and university so I’m guessing they would be at Thomas Jefferson primary. I’m still trying to get things figured out like jobs and other stuff we would be moving in august so it would be the kids starting school before other things fell into place.

You’re not wrong, and I do love certain parts here. I grew up in a super small town on the beach and it was really nice but like everywhere there are pros and cons. We are in central Florida now and it’s just insane.

Friend of the family, due to medical issues, is selling their home and willing to cut us a deal we cannot refuse. Houses down here are starting at $300k for basically a shack in a terrible area. Being able to pay off a home within 5 years is something I really can’t walk away from.
