I'm acca-awkward


I just need to give a big shout out to the good ole' Midwest! This has honestly been the friendliest place we have every moved to. Already, I have been invited to the library twice for a toddlers reading group, J and I were invited to an Easter Egg Hunt, was invited to a craft group (couldn't go, but the offer was still extended), we've been invited over for dinner twice, and just last night I was invited to a girl's night for Saturday! None of that has ever happened anywhere else we have lived. I am feeling really blessed right now.

She was a little overwhelmed...

But she eventually got the hang of it! She was all in once she figured out there was candy inside the eggs!

I'm the type of person that likes details. I like to picture how an event will go and sort of prepare myself for it. For example, when K and I were dating, he would tell me what restaurant we'd be going to and my roommates and I would look up the menu. (Please don't stop being my friend because of this!) While I admit, that's a bit extreme, I just like to know what to expect about situations. I'm also extremely indecisive, so it's better for everyone around me if I prepare. 

Last night when I got the text inviting me to the Girl's Night, I felt like a creep. I accepted the invitation and then proceeded to ask all the details...where is the restaurant, what time should I meet you, etc. When I type out the questions right there it doesn't seem so awkward, but last night it really did. In the past, this is something I might dwell on and be very embarrassed about. While it is still very fresh, I've decided to not let myself over analyze these situations. If it bothers people that I like to know details, then this is a good time to figure out that we aren't very compatible as friends. 

In short, I'm just going to let my 'Freak Flag' fly and if people aren't down with that, that's okay! I think a major part of my self-discover is just accepting who I am and being okay with it! It's okay if not everyone wants to be my best friend. 

Are you a details person? A planner?

Do you over analyze situations? How do you get over it?
I'll be honest, sometimes I have to pray to let it go haha. I'm better now, but it used to just eat me up when I did something stupid.
