I got an email from this week's cooking club hostess. Apparently, the head of cooking club (whom I RSVP'd to) didn't tell her I was coming and only one other woman was going to be able to make it, so the two of them decided to cancel. OOPS! I could tell that she felt really bad. Oh well -- at least they know I was making an effort to be part of their group!
Another woman from MOMS club gave me an email address to a friend of hers who is expecting her first baby this fall, but is already staying home. I emailed her to see if she wanted to get together sometime, and we are going to plan something for next week. I am excited about making a potential friend, but I feel a little bit nervous as if I'm going on a blind date or something. The only way I'm going to ever make friends, though is to just put myself out there, right? Gosh, this is so much harder than I thought it would be.
Yesterday, my brother came to play golf with Jon after work. Of course, my mom talked him into coming in the morning so that she could ride along and we could spend the day together. My mother-in-law ended up coming, too. We had a lot of fun together. Eric kind of just stayed at the house and did his own thing until he had to go meet Jon. Us girls went to the farmer's market in town (so cute) and then shopped in all of the little shops and boutiques. It was so nice to have both of them here -- and like always, so good to have companions for the day. My mother-in-law was trying to make friends for me everywhere we went -- too funny. Nothing like feeling a little bit desperate!
I have another doctor's appointment today, so I will write more later!

I hear you about making friends! It is so hard to put yourself out there. I am having a very difficult time at finding even a part-time friend. I think all the bloggers need to move to the same tropical island, LOL! Good Luck!
I call myself the "stalker" of our neighborhood. I keep an eye out everyday to see if any lots have sold and have taken banana bread to every neighbor so far. I saw one house sold and had a kiddie pool...I went there every day until they were home...still don't know if they want to hang out. But...a positive note, we have a new neighbor moving in, a nice couple with one child and one on the way who seem to be really nice! Best of luck making new friends:) What did the doctor say?? Anxious to hear...
