I'm glad to hear that you're liking your new place. I've been to Michigan a couple of times for work, and got the same feeling when I encountered strangers. The people I worked with were nice enough, but that could've been because I was "the client," so they felt more obligated than normal.

I thought at first that it was a good thing to feel indifferent to your neighbors and the people because, something in you felt this wouldn't last, and you'd move again, for one reason or another. But the point this comments thread is making is valid: the people really do make for the soul and character of a neighborhood, a town, a city. That character sort engulfs you, whether you are antisocial or not. I'm glad you're settling down nicely.

Good friends are hard to come by, and it definitely sounds like there are many of them waiting for you in KC. Although it is hard to be separated from existing friends, particularly those recently acquired, I've come to realize that the good memories coming from any friendship make it all worthwhile. I think those memories are a large part of what gets us through when life abruptly changes course, until we've regained our footing and are again surrounded by good friends. The faces have changed, but that just means more good memories are in store. :-D Happy 4th (ok... a little late) PS... I got a (long-awaited, well-deserved, under-compensated - but definitely needed...) promotion!! It’s great to hear that things are going so well with the new company!!

I am very impressed that the company sent flowers to Aymi, I am sure the other company would have never ever thought to do that for anyone. I wish you continued good luck with the new company and the move. I hope that you had a great holiday weekend at home with you family and that they will soon be able to join you at your new home.

At first I thought it was just his family, but the more time I spend up there I realize that it definately his whole town. I'm constantly amazed that if it abundantely clear that I need help, no one offers it in Michigan. They'll say "you look like you could use a hand" but it's like they force you to ask. Here, people help out without having to ask, and they always have a smile on their face. I may hate the heat and humidity here, but I sure do love the people.
