that I don't want to go to church in my new ward today? I have to be all smiley and nice to people I don't know and pretend that my life is great, and that I am not totally stressed out over moving. I miss Ft. Meade already. You people know me. I can be real (well, almost) with you people. If my day (or week) is sucking, I can just come out and say it. I think you girls expect that kind of honesty from me.
I thought that I didn't really care about moving away, until I realized that I might not be kept in the loop about all the lunches and playdates and book clubs (that I never go to) and all that stuff. So, keep me in mind. I'm still close.
Don't worry, I won't like them as much as I liked you all. I've already made up my mind.

It does suck not being in Fort Meade where *sings* everybody knows your name... I'm done singing.
I'd say something encouraging, but I get the feeling you don't need encouragement. I'll just whine with you. XD
You know you're always welcome to Monday lunches at my place. You'll always be a member of the Ft Meade ward, just like Crystal, Brandi, etc. You've made your mark. I'm not going to say you'll be missed because you're not leaving us. We'll see you all the time. That's what blogging is for, right?
Yeah, didn't you know? We belong to the blog branch of the Ft. Meade Ward.
Oh it's totally okay, Marianne. I miss the Ft Meade ward too. They is some sort of niceness in the sisterhood I got there with no strings attached and I can be as crazy as I really am and people love and appreciate that (or are just quietly thinking "wow, she's nuts" while smiling and being sweet). I'm not saying I don't like my ward now- I love my ward. It's been what I needed at this time. Our bishop here has really helped out our family (okay mainly Bridgette) a lot, but that service to Bridgette has made ALL the difference in the world. I do miss the primary where Bridgette could just go nuts though and no one would think less of me. Here they actually want reverence (oh, man!)But the good news is that she has learned to be more reverent- which is way cool. I miss my friends at Ft Meade. Ft Meade chicks are the coolest.
I was surprised when I was there and I asked you if you were sad to be moving out of the ward and you said "no" Sometimes, I think it takes actually being removed from a situation to realize that you were already happy and comfortable where you were. That's how I felt. I was sad to leave FM, but I was soo ready to move on and then when I got here, I was like "I want to go back!" You will adjust and at least you are still close to everyone. Doing what's best for your family is what is important and that's why you moved. Hope you guys are enjoying the new house and that humongous yard.
ditto... I don't know if I actually love the place, but I DO LOVE THE PEOPLE! Oh those wonderful wonderful people. shhh! And Brusters... and Panera... and Chic Fil A... and TARGET!!!!! okay, I'm done. breathe! My kids still ask when we will be returning, though we enjoy it here... it's just not the same.
Ok, I'll be at your place tomorrow, Ariella. I can tell you all about my new job.
I'm glad to know that I'm still part of the Blog banch of the Ft. Meade Ward.
A couple of former Ft. Meaders are in Odenton Ward. Paulette and Lydia Merrills are here, and so are the Avery's. It's not bad, just different. There are actually OLD people in this ward. That's kind of wierd.
Tomorrow I'll write about Vivian's reaction to our new ward.
So now that I'm too late to the party (shakes her fist at the time change) how was your new ward??
We went to our new ward today and guess who we saw in the parking lot?? Valerie Filmore! See? The Ft Meade women will always run into each other!
We felt the same way when we hopped boundaries last year. It was *very*...uhm...alienish. Is that a word? At least you made it to Church! I'm stuck at home with the plague! ( No, not Pigplague, tyvm!)
I'm just refusing to get to know anyone..that way, in about a year and a half when we move I don't have to miss anyone.
So far it isn't really working..I'm just lonley. :(
I wonder if they'd like ME in your ward?
It was great to see you guys tonight! You're welcome to come to my place anytime!
