getting to know people...
Hi, guys! I've posted on here a few times before, but I'm really more of a lurker. 
I hate that word...I sound like a creep! lol Anyways, I'm really trying to meet more friends. I don't go to church, so it's really hard for me to make friends. I'd like to go to the Northies GTG, but my husband is really afraid of it. He said its awkward and probably a lot of creepers lol! But I wouldn't mind meeting some women to hang out with, go to dinner with, shopping, and doing lots of girly stuff. I really want to get to know people in Austin. I miss having girlfriends!
You can email me at cheyenne.jock @ y a h o o . c o m .
Yeah, I keep rereading this and I can't make it seem non-creeper-ish. Sorry.

Re: getting to know people...
You really should go to the Northies GTG! It's lots of fun and the gals are totally cool. Tell your DH not to worry about it! It's at a public place, nothing creepy about that!
ETA: I should add that I know your DH's skepticism but he really shouldn't worry! I've met some great friends through this site!
The first gtg I went to was at someone's home and DH (then BF) was SURE they were a armed killer. :-)
They are a lot of fun and the ladies are always looking for people to attend and meet. There are lots of us in similar situations. Making friends as a "grown up" is tricky!

A journey of building the dream.
When I first moved to Austin, I didn't know anyone. I went to a nestie GTG at Taytee's house and had such an amazing time. I was soooo nervous to go but I am so glad I did!
Since then, I have moved to New Braunfels and one of the local nesties (Hi Joyco) has become one of my best friends.
DO IT! You will enjoy it!
