Moving Back
Well, the truth that I've found is that moving is hard no matter what. I guess I was expecting moving home to be easier than moving to a new place. Not so, however. While we were gone our ward was absorbed into another ward which then split. So we came home to a new ward and while we still know a lot of people, it is not the same. Even after a few months I still feel like a visitor. Old friends have become casual acquaintances at best. They say "Hi" when they see you, but that's about it. Having Ben gone to Idaho has made me realize just how much I depended on his outgoing, friendly personality. It turns out that on my own I'm kind of a hermit and recluse. Of course, being a single, homeschooling mom of five children doesn't really help to ease the feeling of isolation. Okay, Okay, life isn't all bad, I mean we still have a home and Ben still has a job and I still have my sanity. Maybe I should lose the sanity and start talking to myself and then it wouldn't feel so lonely around here. I guess I never realized that the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days Alexander talked about weren't so bad. It's the weeks, and months you have to watch out for!

Ah, for a moment I thought maybe you'd moved back to UTAH but I guess i'll just hafta keep waiting. It's hard to be a stay at home mommy but you have more strength than you know. xoxo
So sorry sis. Love you so much!
Corrine I'm so sorry. I'm sure it's tough but not as tough as you.:) I've missed you and keep telling Jaime I want you and the kids to come so we can hang out. This coming week? :) I know I didn't move very far but when it comes to seeing the "regulars" it sure seems like we moved hours away! Keep your head up you're an amazing woman.
Awe Corrine, I'm so sorry. I have been wanting to hang out and have some fun with you, but I've been struggling myself with getting out. I feel like I haven't really talked with anyone since the ward changed. I'm so busy and I feel like on Sunday I have no time to talk to anyone! I hate it. You should come over with the girls this Saturday. I'll give you a call tomorrow and see if we can make something work.
...and the years. :( Take deserved break and schedule a play day with another family! Elder Scott's talk was a great reminder that the scriptures are friends that we can always have. I can truly sympathize with how hard this period of time is! Wish I could give you a hug in person!!!!!
if i was there i would love to hang out. So, what happend between the move to idaho and the move from idaho :)
