A very busy month that saw John in France for a week, lots of work happening, and a beginning of a better understanding as to what will make life better here. We're finishing off our first year here in Colorado and finally starting to feel settled in enough to actually feel partially at home. Also, by being so completely alone while John was gone I realized that part of what we're missing is the steady support and network of people we used to have in the North West.

I am used to being alone. I am not so used to being lonely.

The good thing is that we figure a lot of this out and start to take the steps to make things better. I figure that our summer months will be more socially active than our winter ones were, and since we were pretty active even just last year, when we first moved in, I don't have any doubt that we'll figure this out.

The last several months of talking with Geoff finally cumilate in a visit I take to Pittsburgh that turns out to be better than anything I might have imagined or thought to wish for.
