It's alright to be Proud of myself

It has been a busy last while!

I moved! Almost a month ago now, and I absolutely LOVE it. I am coming to terms with my apartment and doing things that I didn't think I could do.

Here's the deal, I live with 2 of the most outgoing people I have ever met. Bethany and Clara. They seem to know most everyone :). In any case, this has resulted in many people coming over to our apartment.

And me, being myself, has always not been very good at new people. This is changing ever so slightly. Last night I realized that I am proud of myself. Over these last 3+ weeks, I have met SO many people. Like, really. And when I see these people, I will say hi, or have a small conversation with them. And this has made me extremely happy, I love coming home because it means that I will see people that I legitimately enjoy being with - and the chances that I'll meet someone new is pretty high too. In addition to going home, I really enjoy ward activities (many of the people I have met are in my ward - and it is awesome!).

Because I am trying to do things that I am not so comfortable with, I also got set up on a blind date. This guy was knocking on doors to see if anyone wanted to go on a date, and he came to our apartment and I got volunteered by my roommates. I was SO nervous -  I hadn't been on a date in well over a year. So I went and it was really fun, I am glad that I got to experience that.

I am proud of myself, I am being social and meeting people and learning to listen and get along with those from all different backgrounds and walks of life. And I am LOVING it.
