Then you hit college and you are forced to make new friends on your own. Friends you have never met before. Sometimes you are forced into friendships because you live with them (I loved my roommates). Sometimes you find friends in unexpected places. But they can just be people you click with. You, no family, just you.
Boom! You are married and you have to find friends for the two of you. Not just friends you like, but friends he likes. Being married to Tyler makes that easy. He likes everyone. (We are a little loud though, so not everyone likes us).
KABOOM! The cycle starts all over because you have a kid. Now, you have to find friends for you, him, and this new little munchkin. What Pressure!
Newest Friend Making experience: Emree and I went to the Library Reading Time. It was free and I figured, what the heck! She didn't do well, but mostly because I didn't bring snacks. I didn't know all the kids would be sitting there eating there delectable treats right in front of my child's pouty lip. She just stared at them, hoping any second they would throw something her direction. No one did and so we said "BYE" after about 15 minutes. That is when we headed to the swings just outside the library. There they were. Two new friends and they didn't even know it, we didn't even know it. In fact. if we had we would have been even more excited. I put Emree in a swing right next to a little boy her size and a Mom that looked kind of fun like me. One conversation later and phone numbers exchanged.
I think we are going to enjoy our friendship with Katie and Mason. Now, we just have to see if their Dad clicks with our Dad.
(Emree and Mason at...the ZOO-where else?!)

I'm just gonna say...I'm a little jealous! But happy that you and Em each have a new friend!
I love friends. I'd be your friend.

Ha ha, sometimes when I exchange phone numbers with a new mom friend I feel like that is my new form of dating. Now that I found the husband, I am trying out mom-friends instead of boy-friends. Is that weird? :)
Hooray for friends, especially friends that share treats.
SOOOOO true! When you become a family w/o classes and w/o roommates making friends is tough. Then you add the side of finding friends for 2 people and it's tougher. Then you add kids to the equation... oh it is rough! Mark has a coworker he is good friends with and just introduced me to his wife and she is awesome. Now we just have to see if our two 3 year olds will jive too!
Yeah for new friends!
that is totally how we became friends, although i think it was just lucky that we liked each other cause tyler and bobby were gonna be friends no matter what!!
