Re: UO

 I'm in manassas and counting down the days, actually years, till we move back to loudoun county. Where are you?

We aren't too far apart, actually.  I'm outside of Fredericksburg.  I grew up in a small town bordering Loudoun County (Clarke) and I spent a lot of time in Purcellville when I was younger. 

I'm jealous of you two ladies.  We lived in Fairfax before moving here to Texas.  I worked in Manassas.  I miss it so much!  There was actual seasons there, a job I loved, and only 9 hours away from all of our family.

Garbage and cars are fully mens jobs. VABride - those ladies sound crappy, I'm not sure if I would cut them out, maybe just cut ties. Do you have many other friends, maybe you could just hang out with them more. I don't have my own UO today, I'm feeling just peachy.

We do have other friends that we hang out with, which is nice.  We have some friends who don't drink, so we do more cook-outs, play dates, etc. together with them.  These were our "drinking" type friends and sometimes it is just nice to go out with friends for a few drinks or hang out and drink without the kids, ya know?

It sucks because this group is the first people that I really met and hung out with when I moved here. It has been hard for me to branch out and meet new people because it's a pretty small town and they were all born and raised here.

I understand how you feel. One of my friends, who was in my wedding and I was her MOH, doesn't hardly talk to me anymore. They didn't show up to DD's birthday party, anytime I try to call or text she either doesn't answer or it is very short answers. Sometimes I feel like her and her H would rather spend time with their friends who have more money. One part of me is finding it very hard to just cut the ties and quit trying, but the other part of me says why bother anymore. It is a sucky situation either way!

It's funny that you mention money because the couple we had the falling out with was always in competition about who owned what car, house, tv, how many kids, etc. We always had the upperhand on them but we never boasted about what we had, as we try to keep our finances private.  They actually got mad when I got pregnant with Marissa and threw a huge fit in front of all our friends.    Now they have the upperhand over their BFFs and they are always trying to compete with them now.  It's ridiculous.  Their kids are born 10 days apart and it about killed her when her BFF got the first BFP, delivered first, had the first baby shower, etc.  It is definitely a sucky situation, I hope you get yours figured out, too.

LaurLaurLaur:

I have a "say anything"

DH won his fight. We had a crazy after party at this midtown club with all our friends and everyone from the firehouse... there were probably 100 people there. He won this huge belt like they give professional champions (which he carried/wore all night Stick out tongue) The DJ kept shouting him out and the skanky bartender kept jumping on the bar and pouring Jameson down his throat. Girls kept coming up to him... it was really something.

But, the best part was when he walked onto the dance floor me and all my girls started cheering like crazy and this Bachelorette party thought he was a stripper. One of the bridesmaids came over and asked him to come "perform" for their table. 

That totally made his night and whenever anyone asks about the fight he tells them the story about the girls that thought he was a stripper. 

I don't think I have ever seen a pic of your H...

and I know I'm not the only one who would like to see Mr. Laur. AW that H of yours!

Yes 

Ha, he isn't "classically" good looking. His nose has been broken and is crooked, he shaves his head and has tattoos everywhere. But he is in incredible shape. He has an 8 pack Indifferent

I will PIP him when I get home.

Minus the money part this happened with my 2 best friends that were in my wedding as well. They were our "drinking" friends. It's like they can't grown up, I bought a house, got married, had a kid and have another one on the way, and they are in the same place they were 3 years ago. Which is fine for them, but it was like oh she can't party with us anymore, she's out. I haven't cut ties completely. We rarely talk, and a few times I confronted them about not inviting me out etc and now I just leave it. Maybe we will be close again one day, maybe not, I just didn't want a dramatic "I'm done with you" scene. Also, our friends with kids will once in a while get sitters and we can all go drinking and I think it's just as fun. So VA I'd say if you need a night out get those people together and just change up the get together dynamic!

I would if I could in a  heartbeat.  Stupid DH's job bringing us here.

Some of our friends actually don't drink, like at all...so that's why we do other things with them.  They are still fun, don't get me wrong, but it's just not the same as being able to go out or go to a friend's house for a few drinks and just unwind!
