Dating

Yep that's right...I titled this post dating. Do you ever feel like you are back in the dating world when you are trying to make new couple friends? This last Friday our little family walked up to a park that is by our home. There was another little family there with a 14 month old boy that Gavin thought was really cool. (He kept trying to poke his eye out so I figure that is a good sign.)
Anyway, Brandon and the other dad hit it off and were having some great sports conversations while the other mom and I were talking about kids, church callings, etc. Then it was time to leave...so we just left! I didn't want to be all awkward and say, "Sooo we should do this again sometime. I had a fun time. Can I call you?" Ya know what I mean!! How often is it that you find a couple that your hubby and you both get along with?!? And when you do what are you supposed to do? Ask for their number? Tell them to meet back here same time next week? Awkward!! So, how do you make new couple friends? And because my almost one year old is so darling I thought I better post a more recent pic of him too! Isn't he so handsome!!!

He IS so cute! And I love your family picture.

That's funny about making the new couple friends... It is so awkward!! I guess you should find out if they have something to offer like a cabin or boat or something before you try to further the relationship :) J/K

Ha ha ha ha!!!!! We've all been there ;0)... Just ask for their number (maybe they'll think you're swingers ;0) )...

So you are alive in the blogging world. Yay!
That is so funny about meeting couples. The exact same thing happened to us recently. It really does feel like dating huh? Too funny!

I completely agree with your statement about making couple friends! Next time I would ask if she blogs or has an email address and perhaps suggest you get the boys together for a play date?
I think it can be even more awkward without kids, harder to find something in common!
