Southern Comfort and Sweet Tea... : July 2014

It seems as I've gotten older that I can't make friends. Ok, lets be honest I'm not really sure I ever could. I had my best friend all through school and a few others sprinkled in here or there, but I would not say people were beating down my door to hang out. Don't worry this is not a sympathy post...I'm totally cool with not being the most popular.

However, yesterday I figured out that maybe other ladies were just like me.....waiting to be invited. Yesterday I went out on a limb and sent a group text to the softball moms (all of our girls just played softball together for last four months) and asked if they wanted to get together for a ladies only dinner. The response was overwhelming!! You see, I was just sure all of these ladies would think I was a nut case. In my head I conjured up the idea that they all have tons of friends that they can do dinner with or call upon when they have a hard day. Why would they want to hang out with little ol' me....ya know?!? Well let me tell you....I'm so excited to say everyone was all about it! It really paid off putting myself out there.

I just fell in love with these ladies during softball and could totally relate to them. I'm one of those gals that needs to hash it out with girlfriends....needs to have other moms hear my fears....get the reassurance that only other moms can give.

So, I'm forging friendships and putting myself out there. I think maybe people are just waiting to be invited....

Enjoy some fabulous softball pictures from this season!!
