New in the country/town, want to make new friends!
Hi ladies!
My name is Mariel, 25 years old and i just got married July 30, 2011 and i am currently living in Glendale Heights, Il. I just moved from Mexico where i left my family, job, and friends, so i gotta start up again, specially on the friends area. I still haven't found a job, and while my husband comes back from work and i clean and stuff, i feel trapped since i have nobody to talk to or go to the mall or coffee, work out,etc, and i would like to make some friends and hopefully hang out with from time to time.
Does anyone would be interested on adding a new friend? or does anyone know if there is any group for newlyweds? My husband (Grant, 29 years old) is interested on meeting couples that we can hang out or have grills or anything, since is awkard that he has only male single friends and his sister lives in Washington, DC.
So i hope that anyone gives me the change to get to know you and be your friend.
Thanks and hope to get in touch with any of you soon.
Mariel

I suggest going on meetup.com and I even saw that there is a Glen Ellyn Newlyweds
meetup group and that is near you. Since moving to Chicago, I have meet all of my friends on meetup.com. Good luck!
