The Halls

So I am not very good at making friends. I have a hard time getting to know people and I feel awkward like a 15 year old girl with freckles and braces sometimes. After being in our ward for 2 years I still hardly know any of the sisters!

I thought the culprit was being called into nursery for 18 months and not being able to go to Relief Society, but after a year in there I still don't know anyone! On Sunday I finally learned why. It was my first week back after Maylee's birth and hence my first week in this ward with a baby. And I discovered something...

They're all in the halls! At least half the women in my ward are in the halls during the meetings. Which makes sense considering half the women in my ward (at least) have young children. I met like 10 new sisters on Sunday and had conversations with at least that many more that I sort of knew. A new baby is a great conversation starte, so maybe now I can break the ice and get to know some of the women in my ward.

Here's some pics of the kids in their Christmas clothes. Too cute! Thanks Granna and Aunt Blondie! Also one of Maylee, 5 weeks old now.

Glad you have an icebreaker--so true about the halls, they do that here too (best conversations are in the mothers lounge!) :)

LOL. I noticed you coomented on my page. It's been awhile since being active on Blogger because Facebook is my recent obsession. I haven't done "the hall" since my last baby, I am usually in the missionary gospel principle class and then primary....I try to be social and I have to say it took awhile but now I can walk down the hall before getting to my newest calling (primary) and actually wish I didn't know so many people...because I am always late to my class.
