meet new people

I’ve met so many new people the past few months. People from church, friends of friends, lots of people. I have really opened up too. I’m not as shy as I use to be. I am able to walk in a room with my head up instead of looking at the floor. I look people I don’t know in their eyes and say HI! I talk to them more. I’m not totally out there yet. But I like where I’m at socially. So I think this can be marked as done. And thanks to everyone who’s cheered me on this goal. I love you all!!

My birthday is coming up on Nov. 18th. And I’m having a get together the weekend of the 9th. So, I’ll be meeting all kinds of new peeps. lol.

So, I’ll be posting about that later.

I went to my daughter’s school Friday for the Ice Cream Social. We go every year. But I never talked with any of the other parents. This time was different. I talked with several different people. Susan-(Brandie’s mom, Chelsea’s friend)Beth- Audrey’s mom, Caitlyn’s friend)and Jeff (my church’s pastor) and his wife Adrianne. They have 2 kids that go to the school. I didn’t know that. We had a super time. Yeah!

Update on the people I already met: Erica from church I only talked to one other time for about 3 seconds. And Amy, my ex’s GF is really cool. I have only talked to her a few times online. Nothing in person yet. I would like to though.

Yesterday was a little weird. This girl Amy got in contact with me. It turns out she is the current GF of a very old ex BF of mine. I haven’t seen or talked to this guy for over 13 years. He was kinda sorta my first BF. (Not counting the kiddie crushes back in elem school.) But this girl was really cool. We emailed each other back & forth pretty much all day yesterday. It seems like we have a lot in common. And I would like to meet her in person. I haven’t told her that. But I would think it would be weird her ever wanting to be friends with her BF’s ex. I don’t think I would do that. But that’s what makes her so cool. I guess.

I started going to church. I’ve gone twice so far. And I met Erica yesterday. She seems nice. I asked her to pray for me. I need help controlling my temper. She said a very nice prayer that made me shed a couple tears. And then gave me some advice on what helps her to control her temper. She made me feel better. I hope to see her again next week.

I always hang out and talk to the same people all the time. Which I really don’t mind. I love them all. Cause they’re all very close to me. I just want to find some new people to talk to and do things with. Plus, I’m really shy. And I never talk to anyone I don’t know.
