i have been neglecting my blogs a lot lately, but it’s mostly because I have been so busy. i have still not finished my paris trip, and i’ve now been to new york, so that needs to be added. i have also been to so many shows since the last post, but those take some time as well. so I have decided to write one here while I catch up on my others.
jimmy and i have always had single friends. it’s fun to hang out with our friends, and we have no problem having single friends, but we have really tried to have a few couples to hang out with as well. it’s just nice to have another couple to do couple things with. we don’t mind single friends, most of our friends are single, but it’s nice to not be the only couple. and it’s nice be on the same level as other couples as well.
first there was matt & jessica. we loved hanging out with them. they had been dating for a while, and they were each our friends prior to the relationship (long story, but it was a very fun coincidence). we were fine hanging out all together, or totally separate from the boys. then they moved to colorado, and we still went out there a few times to visit them as a couple. but now are no longer together.
we went to a barbecue a few months ago that had a lot of couples. in fact, i think that there were only 3 single people there. it was quite refreshing to be around a majority of couples. including us, i think there were 4 couples. we all got along so well, that the girls decided to have a girls night away from the boys. it sounded like a great start to coupledom! we even had a friend of someone join us and all 5 of us girls were in serious relationships. no one had been dating for less than 1.5 years, many closer to my 9 years than most. now, all but one of the girls and myself are no longer in those long term relationships. and these were kind of shocking breakups anyway. And the fact that that many have ended is very weird to me. i feel like we are the last one to survive.
now, we have been trying to find another great couple to hang out with. scott and tiffany seem to work out well so far. we are all georgia tech grads, and are cool to hang out together, alone, or just guys and girls. we even get along with all of their friends. we also all have season tickets to the football games together. they also have a lot of single friends, so i think that is also quite helpful. they are in the same type of situation that we are in. hopefully our new couple-relationship will work out well - wish us luck!
