Making Friends Poolside

I like the apartment complex I live in. I have been taking Ben to the pool now that the weather is good for swimming and I've met about 10-15 people who are regulars at the pool. There is a good community here and these people are fun to hang out with and talk to while we hang poolside.

It's never been difficult for me to make friends and I feel more at home than ever here at "The Ranch". Some of the people who live here have been here for years and they all know each other. I have more community here than I ever did in the old neighborhood! And not only is there community here for me, it's here for Ben too. He has a TON of kids his age to play with and has been having a total blast coming home and heading to the pool after a long day of school for him, work for me, etc...it's become our routine.

I'm hopeful that now Ben lives with easy access to a pool, he will learn how to swim this summer. We'll see how it goes. :)

I was gonna go camping this weekend but I ended up getting sick today at work and had to come home. I'm still feeling crappy but hopefully will feel like doing something tomorrow. We'll see.

The pool and friends was one thing I did like about living at the Enclave. Your old neighborhood was very unfriendly. Don't blame you for preferring your new one.

Yeah the old neighborhood sucked when it came to friendly neighbors. Definitely not the live and let live types. I have no use for people like that. I'm so glad to be out of there!

I am so glad that you are an austin blogger. My x lives in an apartment with an awesome pool, I miss that. Sadly I live in a house, at lease for the next 4 years.
