Gelato and Friends! What Could be Better?

One nice thing about new friends is sometimes, they're so excited to be your friends that they accidentally undercharge you for things!
One time, my roommate and I went to the gelato store in our 'hood. (Well, one of them. This one is the good one: see the picture? That's where you go. It's next to the pig statue).
You won't believe this, but as soon as we stepped into the store, we made friends! There were two boys working, and BOTH of them wanted to be our friends.
Now, my roommate and I are not so good at decisions. (Know what we are good at? Making Friends!). So we started looking at flavors, and realized there were far too many delicious things to eat there. Thankfully, our new friends were there to help! They let us taste everything about ten times. And, while we were tasting, they told us about a brewery we should go to with them. Isn't that nice?
Now, when we finally decided, here was the best part. The cheapest gelato is at this store is 2.95. My roommate and I both got some, so our total should've been around 6 dollars. Somehow, our friends were so excited about meeting us that instead it cost 4 dollars!
I feel bad that our new friends were so distracted they didn't notice they were wrong. I didn't want to make them feel embarrassed about it, so we just took our treats and left. But what great friends!

A great NEW way to make friends!

You know, it's a funny thing. I used to make so many friends, but whenever I have my boyfriend with me I just don't make as many. But guess what I found out! There's a wonderful way to make NEW friends that he and I can do together!
We started looking at houses and let me tell you, I've never met so many helpful, friendly people in my life!
It's fun to make new friends when you're looking for a house. There are some good secret words to know, because house buying people have a whole secret friendship club! One secret phrase is "We're preapproved". House selling friends know that phrase means "We're great people to have as friends!". Another good secret friendship phrase is "20% down payment". That secret phrase means "I've got BFF potential"
Last weekend we went to some open houses. Because people are so friendly that they open up their homes to us to see! And the nice helpful people at these houses, they wanted to be our friends! Just two open houses has gotten us an inbox just FULL of emails about other houses that we might like! It's so nice that they want us to find the perfect home. They even want to make sure we really like our realtor. They keep saying things like "I know you've got a realtor, but if he's busy I can take you to see the property" and inviting us to call them any time.
Buying a house is a great way to make new friends!
