Because of our proximity to both USAA campus and the nearby University of Texas at San Antonio Medical Center, there are a lot of USAA new-hires freshly graduated from college and med school students. This means a lot of young couples in our ward that are just starting their families, like us! My first Sunday here, about five new girls introduced themselves in Relief Society and most either have a toddler or are pregnant! We are certainly enjoying the atmosphere and the abundance of new friends that are in the same stage of life as us.
Tonight our Relief Society Presidency hosted a welcome dinner for the new sisters in the ward. It was pretty hilarious when three of us showed up all wearing the exact same pink maternity shirt and then two more pregnant friends showed up, also wearing pink shirts!
My new friends: Adrienne, Aubrey, Karen, Lisa, and MeIt will be really fun when all of our babies are here (we're all due in July and August) and we can learn and grow together as new moms! I'm so excited and feel so blessed to have the opportunity to make new friends. :)
That is very funny! You will all probably be known as the pink ladies now. Might as well form your own little club!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture! Way to have your camera there to capture the moment. And I agree, what an awesome place we've moved to where there are an abundance of friends! Hopefully we'll get to come back!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! That will be so fun for you. Hope everything is going well!
