I've got to say this impromptu trip really pumped up my ego a bit. I walked in and immediately had three ladies coming over for a hug and to say hello. This is big time, folks. I actually felt comfortable arriving somewhere alone. Well, the little man was with me, but you know what I mean.
I was ushered over to a table to meet some other moms and ran into a church buddy from a few years back. She just moved churches just like we did and it was great to see her friendly face. We caught up on the church news and had a great chat!
We had to leave pretty quickly as the dreaded bedtime was looming before us. I drove home feeling renewed with my friendship odyssey. This was exactly what I was looking for when I started this blog 5 months ago. I have managed to come out of my shell and make some AWESOME new friends!!
Speaking of awesome...I was invited over to R and G's on Wednesday afternoon to make sock puppets. D has really enjoyed the two sock puppets we have here at the house so I knew this would be right up his alley. We used an old pair of socks, some pieces of felt, some googly eyes and some craft glue to make a cute puppy puppet. Here's ours:
We had a meetup yesterday afternoon that was cool. It was a football theme and the kids all wore their colors. D of course wore burnt orange. There were 8 of us present and we were able to sit back and chit chat while the kids played amongst themselves quite nicely with little parental interference. It's great when there's a group that genuinely gets along nicely.
This has been a great week friendship-wise. I feel like I am solidifying the friendships that I do have while continuing to cultivate new ones. Gosh, I sound like a gardener or something.
I know I've slacked on the monthly progress reports. I'll post one soon for June and July, I promise. I want to see just how far I've really come with my goal.
