Sorry No Pictures
This post is more reflective than anything else. I've been taking a few free minutes to read the blogs of my friends and family. I really and truly do enjoy reading all of your blogs. Kids, dogs, vacations, and crazy hijinks all make me feel more connected. But, it has also made me reflect on how much I am missing. Erin and I are now in the fifth new ward since we married six years ago. Everywhere I go I get to make new friends and then I move (or my ward gets redistricted). I'm trying not to get despair by giving up on new friends, but our next move is looming within the year. I'm starting to wish that we would stay someplace for more than a year or two. I just don't know when that will be. Hopefully we will settle before Alex starts school (three years away).

We were in a couple of transitional wards before we bought our house. I know how lonely it can feel. Luckily we were still here in Utah and around our friends and family. But if Jeff gets a job in California, I worry about it again. I hope and pray everything will work out and you'll feel good! Miss you!
Don't think of it as losing friends and having to make new ones...it's more more of an opportunity to meet new friends. Just think...You have the chance to touch more lives than those that stay in the same ward for, say, 3 years. It's all about the positives. Don't worry. The dust will settle soon, and maybe then you'll want to move. ;)
