Those are great suggestions! DH and I always complain we have no friends to hang out with because they aren't in the same life stages as us anymore. I also know what you guys mean about going somewhere and having all of these people with babies/children around; it seems to be all they talk about. It gets frustrating sometimes because then I think well I shouldn't have come because I have nothing to say to these people.
I also wanted to know how you guys deal with being CF and your families. My mom has been bugging me a lot lately on whether or not we are going to have kids. We have let it slide a couple times that we might not ever have them and she wasn't very happy with that. I know its my life and I am going to live it the way I want to, but I still feel a little guilty that she might not get any grandkids from me.

We are in our 40's now & find that some of our friends who did have kids are now getting to the point where the kids are old enough/out of the house that we are reconnecting, so while it will be a long time, stay in touch if you really want to because eventually the kids grow up & you can reconnect.
I'd also suggest if you have the option, look into connecting w/other CF folks. We found a great, active meetup.com group in our area. I also know there is a group called "No Kidding" that has groups/franchises all over the country. You will find there are a lot more CF folks out there than you realize.
