Married Life: Friends

I mentioned in a previous post that Nate and I are kind of on our own now as far as friends go. We haven’t lost them, but some of them are moving and some of them we’ve just grown apart from. It’s time to get out and make new friends- and that is something that we don’t do easily! You know- new friendships are just awkward, right? You hang out a couple of times and you’re still testing the boundaries. You have to find out if these people are as laid back and weird as you are, or if they will be totally appalled if you burp loudly and giggle about it. 😉 There are so many phases with new friendships and I’m just so used to my comfort zone. But we need to do something. We want people to want to have us around as much as we want to have them around. If that makes sense. And Facebook makes it ridiculously easy to find out when you weren’t invited/thought of. Trust me- people you haven’t seen in years want to come to your wedding because they saw it on Facebook and now they feel “uninvited”. Not quite the same thing, but kind of in the same realm. I just really thrive on that girly friendship I’ve always had in my life and I don’t think that being married or any other life changing events should’ve taken that away from me, but they have. And I’ll get it back eventually. We just have to get out there and meet people! Yeah! *walks around the neighborhood in search of young people to attack and hold hostage*
