Friends

I've seen a lot of my local friends this week. For the longest time, I felt like it was hard to make friends here in Milwaukee. After a few years, that changed though. I made really good friends with a couple of people I worked with. Then good friends from the Quad Cities moved up here, so that was an instant friend! EASY! I joined a FABULOUS book club full of strong women.
Met some more great people through work. Changed jobs, kept up the friendships with the old work buddies, and have even made a couple of new work buddies. I feel really lucky to have such a great circle of friends.

Thursday nights a group of girls from the TV station and me get together to watch "Grey's Anatomy." Unfortunately, because of the writers strike, we're out of new episodes. So we've decided to keep getting together anyway, and we're going to make it a game night. I'm really excited about this, because I like playing games almost as much as I like reading... which is a lot.

I've also managed to keep up with the book club friends pretty well. We're getting together for dinner tomorrow night at my new favorite restaurant, Guadalupe. It's going to be so great to see them!

I also love hearing from all my friends scattered across the country. I hope you're all enjoying the blog. I hope some of you will be inspired to start your own, or drop me an email or post a comment. Friendship is such an amazing gift, and I feel really blessed to have as many great friends as I do.
