Last night Cary and I stepped outside of our comfort zone to do something we haven't done in about 3 years: go to a Home Team meeting.
A Home Team is a small group of people that meet at someone's home to do a Bible study. Because Fellowship Church is so big, the Home Teams were designed so that people can get involved, make friends, and study together more in-dept without the overwhelming feeling that the weekend services have. They are split into categories, and the 2 I'm familiar with are the Singles (split by age), and Married.
Cary and I met at a Home Team in the late summer of 2006 through a Singles group I had been attending regularly for about a year, so it is odd that we stopped attending not long after getting engaged/married.
When this group meets (every 2nd and 4th Wednesday), there is food, socializing, and then study. Just before the in-depth studying starts, there is an ice-breaker. Last night, the fun ice-breaker was going around was introducing yourselves, stating how long you've been married, where you live, and either a pet-peeve or an interesting fact about you.
I don't do well with speaking in front of people, so as everyone was taking their turns, I was carefully thinking about what I could say. I could think of a couple of pet peeves (which would be funny, but also a downer), but I had a hard time thinking of something interesting. Now I can think of a couple (I love to blog, blog lurk, and day dream of being a stay-at-home mom), but last night...nothing.
So my introduction to my 'new group of friends'?
"Hello, I'm Jenn. And we have a great dog...."
Good thing I have Cary to make up for my lack of social skills...

It is crazy chaos, but fun!!! We have amazing friends in 4 different states, all because of homegroups.
