I missed the wedding!

I missed the wedding! I forgot my invitation and called the “best man” early in the day of the wedding inquiring what time the wedding was, and she said “6:30”, and at 5:30 I had just gotten into the taxi when my phone rings informing me the wedding is in 5 minutes. I missed the actual ceremony but I did make it to the reception. I visited and drank and had a splendid time, and really enjoyed the food! I would of liked to actually see the ceremony, but I did get to see the bride in all her glory.

One of the things I find interesting about the DC area is that it is a city constantly on the move, a transient city for a lack of a better word. There is a constant influx of highly motivated, highly educated career driven singles AND that is what I miss about DC. I miss the people. I miss the people that are similar to me in ideas, background and goals, and in DC there are so many of them it is very easy to make wonderful friends. I have a lot of amazing friends in DC and I miss them. I do not miss the city I miss the people.

My new geographical location lacks the same type of friends I had in DC. I have made friends here, but not as close of friends. I also don’t have to work with people that I can’t stand anymore, which is a huge bonus. My current friends/co-workers fall into two categories, young and just figuring out life or older married couples with children, and unfortunately I am not either one. However I am beginning to realize that I have enough friends in my life even if a vast majority of them live in the DC area. I have not given up hope of recruiting them to come and work here. My first BAW turned us down and took an offer in the Midwest.
