Popular!

That's how I feel.  We invited some couples from church over on Saturday afternoon.  Only two showed up, but we had a great time.  We had a shrimp boil out on the lawn under the sparse shade of our still-hibernating tree, and - thanks to the weathermen being wrong - it was a beautiful day without any rain.


Then, at church on Sunday, it felt like suddenly we were popular.  Both couples approached us and wanted to sit with us in Sunday School or Relief Society.  Even people who'd been invited but didn't/couldn't come for whatever reasons even came up and said hi.  I invited one (our neighbor whom I'd met when we first moved in and we've had a distant acquaintance relationship since) over for alfredo and the rest of the shrimp for lunch.  It was dang tasty, if I do say so myself.  Though, the sauce was a bit on the grainy side.  I chalk it up to using frozen half & half.  


So, though we know changes are coming, and we're pretty confident as to what they will be, we're still anxious.  All of us that attended the shrimp boil on Saturday have inside information regarding the changes, and that made it even harder to realize we're all finally becoming friends, and soon everything will change.  Lame but true.


Oh well.  Onward and upward!  To new friends and new faces we go!
