We were invited to Thanksgiving Dinner thrown by two small group circles held at a home here in Wakefield. The get together happened last night. Paul and I were excited to go because we haven't seen too many people outside of church, so thought this would be a great chance to make friends. It's funny, because the church we go to is majority mid-30s and under, married, with little kids/babies. It's ridiculous how fertile this church is -- actually, it's really scary!! Three months into marriage here, and we are not looking for a surprise. Really though. Just about every couple is married and is pregnant, has a baby or little ones.
Here is an illustration of Thanksgiving Dinner. I put it together like this to show you how we fit in. We are in the dotted line. The lighter haired people just represent grandparents -- she doesn't actually have gray hair :) Hearts are dating, rings are married, kids you can figure out, and the lady with the bump -- well, she's expecting. This is a good representation of our church except I would say another couple should have kids.
Thanksgiving was really nice though! We got to meet some really great people and I set up a date with Amanda (Andy's girlfriend) so am excited to get in some girl time. Slowly, but surely, it's starting to feel like home.
Next week we are going to Barb and Fred's for real Thanksgiving. We are also looking forward to that. We are in the works of setting up a date with Anna and Jeremy's friends for the second weekend in December as well.
Oh PS totally rocked redish lipstick yesterday. It felt holiday-ish, and now that I'm married I feel it's totally appropriate to wear colored lips. I also am doing my hair like this: curls on top and straight on bottom because it helps hide my roots but gives me length! Thoughts?
Best,
Amber
I am so glad you shared this! We are excited for the journey you are on. Love ya.
