I introduced myself!

I introduced myself! I just wanted to share a little victory with all of you! I was shopping with my future MIL and ran into one of her former high school friends. I typically depend on people introducing me to others but it didn’t work out like that this time. He turned to me and held out his hand and asked my name. I was able to just say it. Although I felt my face flush, I handled it. I’m very proud. You guys are some of the only people who can truly understand how important these little things are. :-)
