Corin.
This post may make me sound a little bit pathetic, but it honestly isn't meant to be that way. :)
I might have a friend!!
I mentioned several weeks ago that I got a sweet deal when we joined our gym and I was getting 3 personal training sessions for free. I had my 3 sessions with this chick named Corin. We hit it off pretty well from the beginning and I love the things she taught me. When our sessions were over, she said she had a lot of fun and was going to miss training me. I told her if she ever wants to work out together or something she could give me a call, and gave her my cell phone number. I see her several times a week while I'm there, but she is usually with a client and I don't want to bug her as these people do pay big bucks for her time.
Well she called me yesterday to wish me a Merry Christmas. She called from work, so I am wondering if she called because she wants to be friends or if the trainers are supposed to call all of their clients? hmm... Anyway, I decided to hope for the best. I asked her if she was planning on going to any of the group classes anytime soon cuz I wondering if I could go with her. She said she goes to a PowerFit class at one of the other Spectrums on Thursdays and we could go together!!
When I saw her at the gym yesterday, we talked for a few minutes and she gave me hug! She made sure we're on for Thursday and said she'll call me Wednesday night to remind me.
I know this may not seem like a big deal, but to me it is really an answer to prayer. It's so hard to make friends when you move as a adult. I mean, whenever I moved as a kid, it was almost inevitable that I would meet new people at church and school. Here, I don't even have a job where I can make casual friends, let alone close friends. We are still looking for a church, and hopeful that God will lead us to one where we will feel at home and make some real friends.
In the mean time, I am totally stoked that I have a potential friend. Someone my own age! (Or close. I'm guessing. I honestly have no idea how old she is!)
To all my real friends who are reading this, I love y'all and I wish you lived closer! :)

We love you too Bean! (I know I'm your brother, but I still feel like I'm your friend) Thanks for the complement on my comments section (digerati)! We will be praying for you about the church and the friends!!
I totally can understand how you feel, when you work and live at the same place you don't get to go out too much, and with having 2 small children all my friends that don't have children don't come around too much anymore...it can be lonely at times. I guess that is why I am so addicted to the internet and reading blogs...I feel connected to other people even if we never meet face-to-face!
Merry Christmas!
This sounds like something off the Sims. I hope that you get lots of smily faces and talk about airplanes. Since she gave you a hug is it time to "give gift" ? That is good that you found someone friendly though. Don't you hate that it's inevitable that you have to meet new people? Sorry that didn't really go with the rest of my comment. I actually almost accidentally put "meat knew people" but I caught myself. See you really soon!
I'm so glad you probably made a friend! If it's true that it's easier to make friends when your younger, then I can't IMAGINE how hard it must be to make friends when you're older! I hope everything goes well, and that you have a lot of fun. Can't wait to see you!!
I wish I had a personal trainer, LUCKY!
