Blog Fast
So this ends my 3 month fast of blogging. It gets so depressing for me to blog sometimes. It's so much easier for me to focus on my family and my life right now than to constantly see what old friends are up to and what my life would be like if we hadn't have moved. I love our house and being so close to Jeromy's work, and the ward is certainly better than it was a year ago, but sometimes I still feel lonely. What makes me feel even more lonely is thinking that if we hadn't moved away from our awesome neighborhood, things would probably still be the same: old friends, not current ones. So I'm trying hard to make some new ones, and I have, but I'm not placing as great an importance on it this time. Yes, Provo was the one time in my life that I can say I had good, close friends (except for college roommates). But that ship has sailed and I need to realize it will probably never happen again. So I'm focusing a lot on my family, and throwing myself into my new calling at church, and it's been great. But I've also just remembered how blogging is so good for our family, capturing all those moments so we don't forget. Plus catching up with friends and family so we can stay "current" friends. Now that the craziness of May, June, and July are done, I can bring blogging back into my life, cuz seriously, we were in Survival Mode for most of these past 3 months. So here goes, I hope I can make it a regular habit again. See ya soon on your blog!

Don't say you won't ever have close friends again. I never made close friends in our first 2 wards in OR, but we were only in each for 1 year. We've been in this ward for almost 3 years and I have tons of really good friends, more than I can usually keep up with, but it's great. So just give it more time.
I do know how you feel, Hilary. I have felt the same way since we moved here about a year ago. I miss my friends in CT so much. That was the first place I have made really good friends since we got married. I have made new friends here, but have not established the same closeness yet. But, like your sister said, maybe we need to give it more time.
Provo, Provo, Provo....we didn't know how hard it would be to leave either. I have been gone a year too and I totally understand the whole friend thing. But remember how long it took us all to gel in Provo. I think we were all there for about two years before Megan took control:). I am hoping it will just take time here as well but will eventually be just as good or even better than what we had in Provo. That was a special time for us wasn't it?
I love you!
