Last night I was really starting to miss my friendships.

I'm feeling this desire to really connect with my friends, or a friend.

It's somewhat of a foreign feeling for me; kind of a lonely one I'm not used to.

I am usually very content just being by myself, and being with Chad and my own little family.

But I think the relationships I was able to build in Rexburg changed me some.

I always knew that the circumstances we had there that allowed us to become such close friends was really a special, special thing.

Now that season and those circumstances have passed, I guess I'm just beginning to feel even more just how amazing they were.

I know we're where we're supposed to be.

I know there are things about being gone from Rexburg that were the best for us and our kids.

But I miss my friends.

I really do.

I'm just so thankful for how thoughtful and kind and friendly and fun they always were.

I need to try and be more proactive here and reach out and connect with my old friend here too.

It's just definitely more of a challenge to do that here.

But I want to build relationships with them each again.

I think starting Power of Moms here will help with that.

In fact, I'm going to email people right now about it.

Wish me luck: )

Love,

Vandi

p.s. I can't even say how grateful I am for my best friend, Chad.  I'm never really lonely because he really is my greatest friend here on earth.  Him and Heavenly Father and Christ are the best friends I could ever ask for: )
