Life here in Indy is going fine. I am
Freaked out,
Insecure,
Neurotic, and
Emotional. I'm FINE! Just kidding...kind of!
Paul and I got new callings at church. He is the Secretary in the Young Men's Presidency and the Ward Employment Specialist and I am the Ward Activities Committee Chair and the Ward Choir Accompanist - I also taught R.S. last Sunday!!!! We are busy!!!
My home is becoming more and more - my home, I am meeting more friends every day and we are all trying to stay busy! It is SUPER COLD here - so that is something that has kept the cabin fever alive! They say I'll get used to it...I don't believe it yet!
I LOVE my neighbors!!! The gals next door babysit for me which is a HUGE BLESSING!!!! And our "member neighbors" have been a blessing like no other! Latacha has been keeping me sane here! She understands me! It's nice to know there is someone I can go to at anytime!!! And she's just 2 doors down!!! I was feeling WAY homesick a couple of days ago and she called to see how I was feeling - the sun hadn't been out in a few days. I told her how I was doing! Not GOOD!!! So that night she calls me up and tells me she is bringing me over a present. 2 seconds later she was on my doorstep with HOT homemade bread and jam!!! A little bit of comfort!
It is humbling to think that the Lord is so aware of me to give me a neighbor like her!!! He knows what I need! I need someone to understand me and be my friend!!
The neighbors across the street, the Fabian's, were baptized last Saturday! That was a super cool. Mom and Dad got baptized along with Dad's brother, and they have 3 adorable little girls and a handsome little man who are not 8 yet!! It's been a blessing to watch them grow in the gospel!
Well...as I was about to continue - I would leave nothing left for the Christmas card...so I will stop!
I miss my family something fierce!!! I miss Tri-tip sandwiches from Doghouse Grill, See's candy, Thrifty Ice cream (Choc. Malted Crunch), Winco, Mickey, Manteca-gals, Becca, Leslie, and most definitely My SISTERS!!!!*
This is definitely a new feeling of not being able to just go home! I can't load the kids in the car and drive to Visalia for a few days!!! As soon as I can get over that THOUGHT without crying...things will start to be a little brighter here...even without the sun!
*I also miss (almost) all those who are reading this post. ; )
So if you are thinking...I'm not that list...don't worry - your name is written - in my heart! ;)

Hey, I need your new email address. I tried the old one and my message came back, duh. You have my email address because it hasn't changed. If not, call me because I don't have your phone number either--and mine hasn't changed. I don't want to lose touch!
i absolutely love ur posts they r the greatest thing in the world to me... i want to get a blog so that i can post instead of sending out emails that are 5 miles long... but it is pointless if there aren't any pics.. so i just have to wait until i get a camera...:P

Awww, I got me a new friend too that I needed so desperately. Friends keep you sane!
Im so glad that you are getting more settled in your new home! What a blessing to have such awesome neighbors around you to help you as well. Good luck to the both of you in your new callings as well, I know you will do an amazing job in them!
"Friends are like eggs and roses you know, they come in dozens too!" ~Julie "Saturday's Warrior" HAHA!!! "You've got friends in low places." ~Garth Brooks J/K Having friends is a great blessing, and I'm so happy that you've made some in Indy! Your Manteca Gals miss you, but are happy for you and the experiences you're having!
Can I say ditto to Krista's? Ditto!!! And also, "Friends are like stars, you might not always see them, but you know they are always there." I am glad you are making new friends out there, but just know that we miss you here too!
