More drama... not really :)

I consider myself a glutton for punishment, I never give up and keep trying until I achieve my goal. What am I talking about? Well my issue with being new in the ward and trying to not get ignored. I honestly think that it is mostly my fault that people don't talk to me that much, also that having a calling in the nursery does not help me at all. I had a baby shower to go to on Friday and I decided that I was going to make myself known to as many people as I could. Of course when I got there I lost my cool and ended up sitting in the corner of the room were nobody else was sitting. I did talk to people that night and by the end of the evening I ended up getting myself involved in a book club and a play group. I think the reason why people were talking to me more is because I made another cute diaper cake and almost everyone thought it was cute and was so surprised that I made it.
Today in nursery was also better, since I wasn't sure the sisters were going to talk to me I pushed myself to make conversation with them and didn't stop until we ended up actually talking and having a good time. I didn't know if it was going to work, but it did. The same sister that had completely ignored me before, turned out to be very nice and we have something in common, she likes to sew and she offered to show me how to make this cute quilt that she brought to the baby shower. Believe it or not, this made my whole Sunday go much more smoothly and I feel happier now.
I remember being in the same situation when I first moved to Utah, it took me exactly a year and a half to make friends in the ward, sure I had my neighbors, who were just the best always making sure we were OK, but I also needed to be able to feel like part of a group of moms with young kids. It is very important for me to be in a group where people are going through the same things that I am and of course that they have kids to play with my own. I learned so much from those friends and I know that if I hadn't pushed my way into their little group, I would have missed out on a lot of learning experiences. I also know that after a while I will find good friends here and when the time comes for us to move again, it will be hard to say good bye.
