[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm in a similar boat as you.  Been here 18 years since starting college at GU, and over time all but one of my college friends - who I considered family - have moved away.  The one who remains I don't see very often because she's in a different stage of life.  I have work friends who come and go - int'l field so lots of moving abroad and back - so that made it hard to become like family with them.  So I hear you.

I am making new friends recently though.  We used to live in Logan until last fall which I think contributed to the transient feel as there are lots of rentals, and DC's daycare was filled mostly with drop off from VA and MD given near K street corridor which made getting to know other parents/playdates really hard as we didn't have a car.  But then moved to a SFH in Silver Spring, and I almost immediately met a new neighbor friend.  We actually stalked houses in the neighborhood a bit as we liked the friendly neighborhood vibe after visiting DH's colleague.  DC's new daycare is filled with local parents so playdates and other get-togethers have been numerous.  Our street had a block party a few weeks ago, and it was wonderful.  I'm not yet at the like family stage with my new friends, but I can see it happening over time.  I don't know if my story helps, but I thought I'd share as I'm in the same boat. [/quote]
