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??

Yay for good weekends, and boo for it being over with. The cherry blossoms look beautiful. Hoping to catch a glimpse this upcoming weekend!
Hmmm, this weekend it was ballet, fabulous Indian food, and then up to a horrible bar in the Upper East Side for a friend’s birthday gathering. Yesterday was church followed by brunch and an outting to the Museum of Natural History. And then it was learning to deal with a mini-curve ball, but all is good.
Sounds like you had a good one!
The cherry blossoms look gorgeous – I can’t wait to head down there. We tried on Easter when our families were here – but they were just stubbies then. Darn trees!
I wrote about this on my own blog, but to answer your question, we went cake tasting this weekend! It was delicious.
The cherry blossoms are gorgeous! I hope they’re still there this weekend.
hey! i have the same coat
target right?
i think i’m going to get the green one you posted about too. i love it.
That’s awesome that it’s starting to feel like home. I could have a huge house in a beautiful city, but it wouldn’t feel like home without friends.
I spent all weekend at races, so “working”. My face is burrrrrned from having been out in the sun all weekend, but the team I coach kicked ass.
I need some girl time pronto! Fortunately, I am getting together with some ladies for wine tonight!
aw i love girls weekends. love the pic! you guys are so cute.
I love girls night out or girls days, they are the best!
I LOVE girl time. I just got back from a women’s conference…made me realize how much I’d been missing that type of hanging out, random conversations about mundane and/or important things in life, and laughing so hard that it was better than sit-ups.
Glad to hear you had a great weekend!
I hung out with some really awesome bloggers and went to the Hotel Cafe Tour. Other than that, I just complained about being sore from working out
Glad you had a fun weekend!
