So today, I hung out with some girls from Church. Well, one girl was from my RCIA class and another one is the leader of the young adult club and the rest I don’t think were from church but still.
It was, to say the least, just what I needed.
I haven’t had a “girls day” in a long time and when K invited me last night, I really felt that I couldn’t pass it up. It sounded exciting and the girls – well the two I had met/knew, seemed fabulous and like girls I wanted to get to know more.
All of the girls were to say the least, absolutely fabulous. We drank tea and talked about everything under the sun then walked down to the cherry blossoms at the tidal basin. We then walked back, made plans to do a pot luck dinner party sometime in the near future, and then K invited me out for a beer. So I called up boyfriend, and the three of us hung out at Cap Lounge drinking beer and watching the season opener for the Nats.
I’ve really felt, over the past few weeks especially, that I’m finally beginning to find my niche in DC. I’ve begun finding my own friends – all starting with the weekend I went out with Deutlich, Maxie and 1218 to see Sia. Friday night, boyfriend and I, former roomie, a girl former roomie and I both know and her boyfriend and roommate shared a few pitchers and food at the Capitol Hill club. Saturday boyfriend and I took pup up to Congressional Cemetery to run around then went to wine tasting, and a wine and cheese party at Church.
It was the most fulfilling weekend I’ve had in a long long time. It’s as if I’m beginning to find my own niche in this city. And it’s only taken me close to two years to get here but it was definitely worth the wait. I’m excited for the potential of these new friendships to take form. All friends in our lives – new and old – are meant to teach us something and I’m excited for the journey of these new gals that seem to have similar interests, no drama and being genuinely fun to be around.
I generally, in new situations, clam up. I get shy. I have a hard time making conversation. But these girls were welcoming, and I fit right in. I didn’t feel overly awkward or shy. It was great!
This week is going to be crazy for much of the week – a day long meeting tomorrow downtown, prep for our “hill day” tuesday and hill day all day beginning at 7:30a on Wednesday. Not to mention working Monday and Friday nights at the gym. I like being busy though, and I like having things to do. So yay for new pals, yay for fulfilling weekends and yay for happiness all around.
Yay for an amazing weekend! What did you do this weekend??
