With 5 moves (4 different states) in 5 years, I haven't felt like I belong in so long. I miss Arizona so much, but I know it's not home anymore. I think I just miss the idea of a home. I hope you love Provo. It sounds like you already have a ton of friends there. We lived in Springville one year and it was a serious drag for me, but I didn't know anyone either.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03913305053206997587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18003780.post-72541329188644961592007-10-30T23:28:00.000-06:002007-10-30T23:28:00.000-06:00It is great when your husband loves his job.

I was so grateful to everyone who didn't get sick of me talking about my dear old Indiana when I came here. I needed to talk about it to feel like I belonged somewhere. (And I guess that's why I cried everytime I saw you get sad about leaving AZ. It's just so much emotion!)<BR/><BR/> Just so you know, the PTA misses you lots! And so does the ward, obviously. In fact, Saturday night Jordan pulled out a folding chair and sat next to our van for the trunk or treat--she said you had done that last year, and she loved the idea. You've left your mark. :)<BR/><BR/>P.S. Nate's brother is in the opera at BYU.

We had been very involved in church and in the schools, and we had an amazing groups of friends with whom we were always doing something. We had movies and popcorn on Sunday nights, we traveled to Oregon and rode the Rogue River rapids, we had game nights where we laughed until we were rolling on the floor, gave each other baby showers, put on wonderful church programs, and saw our kids become best friends. Leaving all that was a sad chapter in my life.amyegodfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05343227628802401779noreply@blogger.com
