[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't give up on us.  We have lived here for the past 10 years (left and come back, etc).  I grew up in the area, have family in the area.  We have always been very social people.

With pre-kid friends, family, work friends, new neighbor friends, friends from kids' preschools, cousins, DH's long work hours, my work schedule, kids' sports and activities, etc...the schedule gets insanely busy.  Add in a few week vacations this month and we are essentially booked until October.  We have one couple that I soooooooooooooo want to get back together with and we owe them a dinner--but I haven't found a weekend yet. I will!

Try not to take it personally.[/quote]

OP here.  I wish my schedule was even slightly busy but it's not.  Booked until October?  I don't even have a single social get together on my calendar at all.  It's hard for me to understand people who have all these social engagements--I wish I was like that.  But we are not from the area and have no family here so we have no one inviting us to do things ever.  My one BFF here is like you.  She grew up here and has family in the area and is always booked solid.  [/quote]

We have about 5 family member bdays, parents 45 wedding anniversary, dh's 40th, preschool silent auction, trip to nyc, a wedding, etc...the fall is insane time for us.  Give it time.  Not sure how old your kids are...we have got incrementally busier as they've gotten older--now 3.5 and 6.[/quote]
