It was a long weekend. I am going through friend withdrawals. I do not like the time it takes to create friendships. Don't get me wrong, I like the process, I just wish it could happen within hours instead of days and months! A personality test that I took once, indicated that I am someone who wants to get to the "meat" of a conversation or relationship quickly. That is so true. So, I am challenged when it comes to starting new relationships.
I miss my church, I miss my peeps and I want to see the daffodils that were almost blooming at our old house when we left. It all just keeps sinking in, deeper and deeper.

Thinking of you guys with the transition. I know how hard it can be, especially when you love what you had to leave. love and miss you guys.
AMANDA (Penfold)! Tyffany (Lutz) Fries here! I saw a picture of you on Bridgette Phillips blog. Small world let me tell you! I know how hard it is to move like that. I will be praying that it gets better quickly for you. Check out my blog http://thefriesfamily.blogspot.com
Hey Amanda thanks for the comments on our blog. We miss you guys. Bible study is not the same without you. Alivia got Ella's card. She was overjoyed and has it posted by her bed. I think it really made it sink in that Ella actually got hers. Hope finding a church goes well. I know what you mean that it won't really feel like yours. I think Travis and I are finally starting to feel at home at college church. Anyway we miss you guys. Hope to see you soon. Travis and I both had to admit we were a little jealous of your Ketchum adventure. You know how its easy to only see one side when you imagine what it might be like. -Wende
Oh,...I feel for you. I absolutely HATE making new friends. If I am in my comfort zone with established relationships, it's one thing- but to start from scratch-miserably ackward. We sent you a small package today with Ella's gloves. I made you a C.D. that makes me smile when I think of you dancing to it-BoneBoneBoneBone Thugs, Bone Thugs.....is not included but I laugh every time I think of you listening to that! :) Hang in there- or return to Nampa- either way! :)
During our first year away from home we made lots of trips back home. For us that meant a 13 hour drive but for you it would just be a few hours:) Don't hesitate to load up the kids and drive back home for a night or two. It really helped me with the transition.
So you know I've been there and done that already, so if you need an ear, email me paanlar@msn.com - Moving is hard. Especially if it's moving away from everything you've ever known. You hang in there:)
Did you feel that?
It was me sending you a really long hug.
I've been there, too. It's hard. Love to you.
You are so brave. You can do it.
