Friendships

"Make new friends, but keep the old; one is silver and the other gold."

I STINK at making friends. Most of the friendships I have have just happened. I cannot remember how they formed, and there is a good chance it is through no work on my end. I am somewhat shy, and have a hard time thinking of small talk. Who still talks about the weather these days, you ask? ME! When you run out of other things to talk about (such as: "Hi, how are you?" "I'm good, how are you?" "Good." *awkward silence*), the weather is always a good fallback. Anyway, all this to say, I MADE A NEW FRIEND. I'm ridiculously excited about this. I appreciate the friendships that I have formed since I have been here. AND I JUST MADE ANOTHER ONE. *Ahem* Please excuse me.

We had a fire out at the property this evening (in the fire pit) and my new friend from work and her husband came out and roasted bratwursts with us. And they brought their sweet baby Jordan and I got to hold Jordan and love on her. Ahhh. My cup runneth over.

I learned something new about making a friend tonight. If you want to spend time with someone, all you have to do is ask! Wow, that was hard. I know you are all thanking me for that insight, so, you're welcome! Now, go ask someone to spend some time with you on this long weekend. You'll be glad you did!
