It was a lot of fun this weekend because a friend and I were having a little get together.  I ended up  inviting more and more people from my various little circled (work and belly dance class were the main ones) and ended up with a group of about 10 who showed up at my house for dinner and drinks etc.  Then we went to the bar for a bit, and finished up at my house.

It was nothing crazy or rowdy, just a lot of fun.  I ended up really clicking with these people and have made friends from the whole experience.  I mean we were kind of pals before from class and work, but we just...I don't know, I guess bonded.  Now we're making plans for all sorts of things - BBQ tomorrow night, movie nights next weekend etc.

I guess I just wanted to write this out because it makes me so happy.  I've only been here for a year, and most of that time was spent being a hermit.  We didn't know the area or the people or anything so mostly it was a whole lot of nuthin.  Slowly I've been meeting people and making lots of acquaintances.  Last weekend, I really feel like I'm bridging the gap from acquaintances to actual friends.

What a nice feeling.  We used to be the social couple back home with tons of friends and someone dropping by every couple of days.  It kind of feels like things are getting back to normal now in that way.  I almost forgot how much I like being the hostess.

Ahh summertime, you make everything better
