This is what it feels like to be social

Today we had the opportunity to go to a Papa Johns Pizza and make our own pizzas.  It was a field trip set up with the homeschool group I joined back in October.  This is the first outing we've gone on with them. 

We got to keep these awesome aprons!

#1 went with another group so I don't have 

any pics of her.

Believe it or not, I'm not entirely comfortable meeting new people.  I can do it and I don't necessarily hate it, but I think if we were all honest we would say that it is easier to just stick with the people you already know and the friends you have instead of branching out and making new friends.  Unfortunately, with the move I had no other option other than making new friends.  It's not exactly easy for the girls either.  I wouldn't consider any of them shy, but it's just plain hard to make new friends. 

It's hard to see, but their aprons are covered in flour

But we all buckled down and guess what?  We all made new friends.  I met a couple of moms with children the same age as the girls.  I really hit it off with a couple of them.  The girls had fun playing with the other children.  And best of all--we got to eat pizza and play at the park!  In addition, I found out about a few other homeschooling groups in the area that don't have websites that I can now contact and hopefully have even more opportunities to get out of the house a little more!  I had forgotten how good it feels to go out and do something fun.  I'm looking forward to settling in here even more and making friends for myself and for my girls!
