The Weekend Of New People

this past weekend was a weekend of new people. it all started on saturday at my friend emily's birthday party. i met emily a couple months ago when she started coming to my church. since she came to my group of friends i hadn't met any of her friends until saturday. i only knew 2 of the 20 or more other people there. one was emily and the other was my brother who i brought with me. monday i went to my friend kirstin's house for her birthday cookout. once again i knew no one but the birthday girl. so i got to meet about 15 more new people there. after the cookout i met up with a new friend named bryan, who i met through an ex-girlfriend's sister. we met at a bar in addison for drinks, and we unexpectedly ended up hanging out with 3 marines, 4 girls that they picked up in the bar and a guy that was a friend of 2 of the girls. all in all i must have met 40 new people this weekend. which was awesome because i love meeting new people.

i also have to give a shout out to my friends that i've know for a few years now. i had great time hanging out with them on sunday night. meeting new people is always good stuff, but the people you have the best times with are the ones who have been around a while.
