The Better Halves Club

I have been meaning to post about the exclusive and, might I add, members-only group I joined while over here in England - it's called the Better Halves Club - or as us members affectionately refer to it - BHC.  BHC was established in January of this year by founder and fellow expat Jay Seppanen.  He is a RR spouse who thought it a great idea for us non-working spouses to get together bi-monthly to chat, hang out, compare experiences, give advice, commiserate, and support each other.  It's really been a great support network for me (and Anna) and I have made some really great friends.  We usually meet for lunch and try to pick new locations each time.  We have members who are here for varied times - some for only a few months to some who are here for three years.  We vary in age from 4 months old - my little Anna ;) - to mid 50's. We are all pretty much from the Indianapolis area and most RR spouses are in Engineering - Dave's the only one in Finance out of the group.  Aside from getting together, we also get our whole families together for dinners, cookouts and if you remember - we all got together when the Olympic torch came through our city.

I am very thankful to Jay for starting this group and wish that someone had started something like this sooner.  I can honestly say I have made some life long friends here and I will miss them when we move home.  But - the upside is - they'll all be moving back to Indy at some point, so I am thinking a reunion is in order!! 

Anna and I have our last meeting next week - I will try to remember to bring my camera so I can get a group shot!
