Friends

so when I first moved to orem I ad to start over again and with friends and everything. and go to a new ward. I was kinda scared and not sure how things were going to work out because I have never been that great at making friends and was unsure how things would work out. so the first week I got here I went to a singles ward with this girl who was like 26 and she lives a few town houses down from where I live. SO i went with her and I felt very awakward because I am only 18 and most of the peole there were like 24+ and i just felt out of place. then the next week I went to a different ward and i met a few girls and they were really nice and let me sit with them and I was really happy and felt a good vibe from everybody and then I went to a waffle party and met this realy cool girl stepheney and now we are basically best friends and I can go to her about anything and it;s great and then i met her step sister ronda who is an amazing girl and we have bolth lost our fathers and as well as stephiney lost her mom but these two girls have been so amazzing to me and have kept me going and been such good examples to me and have helped me in ways they don't know. And with moving here and meeting so many new people I finlly realized that nothing was wrong with me, because for so long I always asked myself what was wrong with me and why did'nt I have any friends in washington and in high school. I would allways hear everybody get asked " hey what are you doin this weekend" and no one would ever ask me and it hurt and so many friday nights I would sit at home and ask myself that question and wonder why I did'nt have any really good friends. then after moving here i realized that I was just fine and that they were the ones with the problem. so i guess im just grateful for how things have worked out so far.
