Fitting In

So I came to the realization recently that where I'm currently at in life, I don't fit in.  I am a 26 year old wife and stay at home mom in a still fairly new place to live, with no family close by.  I am not complaining here, I love where I am at in my life, I just wish I fit in somewhere.

The people close to my age around here are either single women, newly wedded, single men, young couples without kids, older couples without kids, or older single people without kids.  Slim pickins around here, trying to find people who share a common lifestyle.  
I do have some pretty good friends here, but I always feel like an intruder, because I am on the outside bubble more often then not.  

It would be so cool to have some friends close to my age with babies who wouldn't mind spending time with me and my little man.  I am probably a pretty boring person, since I am constantly entertained and entertaining my mini me. It doesn't take much to make me happy, that is why I AM a stay at home mom:).  

The worst part about all of this...?..my closest friend here is moving like 16 hours away next month. :(.  She has been like a mom to me over the last couple years and I just love her to pieces.  

It is hard some days missing my family and old friends.  I am sure it would be different even if we lived close to them, because let's face it...we all have seperate lifes.  I just need that family member or friend to call up every so often to come over and just hang out with us.  

I miss the familiarity of my "home" town in Indiana where I know my way aroud everywhere and my loved ones are less than 25 minutes away.  Being out here is so awesome; it is gorgeous, peaceful and comfortable, but some days I just don't feel like I fit in.

The Questions...

Do we choose to let our past define our future?  How do we live for today?  How do we find peace when we are living in fear?  Should we embrace change or run from it?  Those heartaches... how do we heal?  Where do we turn?  Is anyone on our side?  Will we ever survive these trials, these battles, these valleys?  How do we get back up? Questions that everyone will ask themselves at some point in their journey through life.  Who do you run to?  Who do you trust?  Where do you find your hope?  Family, friends, neighbors, preachers, teachers, counselors, social media, alcohol, drugs?  I think we have all fallen and crawled to the path of least resistance only to find ourselves in more despair.  The "easy" way out isn't always so. We must be broken.  We must be shattered.  We must be torn.  We must be shaken.  We must be molded. The only place to find true peace, true love, true happiness, true jo...

my intentions:)

Once again, I am writing in hopes to encourage myself to be a little more intentional about keeping up with this little blog I started 6 years ago.   In my short journey with the twins and G, I have searched the internet for any and all advice, info, reviews, and help in the form of blogs, forums, and videos.  There is plenty of all of that out there, but to my dismay I haven't found a lot of what I have been searching for.  My hopes in writing about our family's experiences and opinions, is that another mom or family with similar dynamics as ours will find it helpful.  I may not attract anyone here, and that's fine too.  I really just want to be able to look back in a few years and be able to smile about the journey.   A few things I hope to blog about are: Postpartum blues Marriage with infant twins and a 3 yr old Breastfeeding Twins Domestic travel with infant twins & 3 yr old International travel with twins & 3 yr old A day in t...
