Well, we have hit a week of being in Boston. As I am sure you can imagine, we are still trying to get settled and feel comfortable in our new city. But after today, I think it’s safe to say, I am really missing our San Diego friends. There’s somewhat of a lonely feeling living downtown in a big and fast-paced city – which is a funny feeling when you are in the midst of so many people. I was on the subway today and it really hit me that I am no longer close to any of my friends. As I was greeted by rain when I got to the street, it was like a sappy scene in a movie where I felt like just walking with no umbrella and embracing the feeling of the rain as if mother nature was upset too.
Luckily, I am a positive person and I know once we get settled and begin making friends, the feeling will go away. I just hope that comes sooner rather than later. 🙂 I am also lucky that I have a great husband that will order me Chinese take out and pour me a glass of wine. The cure to any bad day.
At least I made one friend today…
I felt the same way when I first got to Boston. It is an incredible city, but it is hard to appreciate it at first when you are adjusting. Two things that really helped me feel more at home were my sorority alumnae chapter as well as the OU Alumni Club of Boston. It was nice having a group of people that had some connection to me (even if it was a distant conenction) to spend time with!
After reading your post I really wanted to help in some way, so I found the OSU Club of Boston. I’m not sure if you are still a Cowboys fan, but there is a rather big game this weekend against OU 🙂 They seem to be having a watch party at McGreevy’s Boston if you wanted to venture out and meet some people. Below is the link to their facebook page. I hope this brings a smile to your face!

Thank you so much for your comment Madison!! SO actually, we must be on the same page because we already attended the first game with the OSU group! Us Oklahomans have to stick together – right!? And yes, I will always be an OSU fan 😉
It’s hard when you are first adjusting to a new city but you are right it’s easier when you have a group that has some kind of connection with you!
Thanks again!
