Hi Erica,
I had my 2nd daughter in Woodbury, NJ. I also had a hard time making friends there. I think it was my strong southern drawl - they had no clue what I was saying I quess. Just keep positive thoughts. If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought. That message was sent to me once and it is so true!
Have a wonderful day!
Sheryl
