Old friendships, odd friendships, new friendships
Old friendships--On Saturday night, Austina spent the night with us, and we went to church together in the AM. It's been so fun--and encouraging--to have her nearby! It's nice, too, that both she and Tim are librarians, so they have plenty to talk about as well. During my senior year at Covenant, when I was sad about leaving behind so many friends, an older woman told me that God had a way of bringing old friends back into her life in completely unexpected ways. I've seen the truth of that over and over again.
Odd friendships*--she came after I left the program, but I've become friends with a woman in my old department at UGA. Over the past few years, we've been stumbling into each other at conferences, and I always felt like we'd become great friends if we ever had the chance to spend more time together. She now attends the church we're going to in Athens!
New friendships--last Saturday, we went to a baby/maternity fair (more on that later if I get up the gumption). While there, I found a Moms of Multiples group that meets each month. Tonight, I'm meeting the group for dinner. This is stepping way out of my comfort zone for me. I have a natural introversion that it makes it hard for me to reach out in unfamiliar situations. But also in some ways, it still hasn't dawned on me that I'm a mom yet, or what exactly that will entail. I'm making a slow transition from grad student to (at least for now) stay at home mom.
*odd in the way that the friendship was formed!
