I really don't care if anyone reads this. It's just been a rough day for me. Right now I am really missing life in Utah. I just got off the phone with my brother and even though it was hard to talk to him because it made me miss everyone so much, it was really nice to talk to him. Thanks for calling Ted! I'm already excited for your trip out here and I'm holding you to it;)! I think that is why I don't call people very often because it just makes me miss them more. I miss so many things-- my family, my friends, and just the comfort I felt there. Being able to drive only two hours and fifteen minutes to see my parents and my brothers and their families. I miss Nathan being able to have cousins and friends so close by to play with. It makes me so sad when he talks about grandma, grandpa, his cousins and friends and I have to tell him that they are too far away so we can't play with them. Being able to call my sisters up and tell them I am bored and have them say come on over and hang out. I miss hanging out with them and their families. I miss having a yard to just go sit outside and hang out and have friends come out and join us. I miss our friends just living right outside our door and being able to walk outside and see them. I miss having two cars. I'm definitely grateful for one, but sometimes it just sucks to not have the freedom that a car can give. I'm sorry this post is all about me feeling sorry for myself, but it does help a little to get it all out. I said you didn't need to read it. Don't get me wrong, I know I am very blessed in my life and we have made some really amazing friends out here and I am soo thankful for them and how they have been our family out here. If it wasn't for them I would be writing posts like this everyday;). Anyway I know this is a lot of rambling, and I feel stupid for writing about this now, but oh well...I will stop telling you about the things I miss that you don't really care about. I'm done with my pity party. Good night.

Ah, we miss you guys too! Just think, get these few years over with and you can move back to Utah forever. I'm sure its really really hard being away but when its all said and done I'm sure you will have learned a lot and grown from having to be outside of your comfort zone. Hang in there :)
it is hard not being by family! I am in the same boat. We have been with family for the past 2 weeks and I am devistated that it is going to come to an end soon. Their is nothing like the love and comfort that family and really close friends can give you. Maybe we can have a pity party together over all this!!
Hang in there, Tina!
It IS hard. Don't feel bad for venting. You obviously know you have a good life and it's ok to feel bad that some of the parts that make up that good life aren't with you. You'll be back there before you know it. And then you will MISS St Louis! :) ha ha
We all miss you too! I am so glad you can put your feeling on the blog. Sometimes everybody elses lives seem perfect because all they put on their posts are the great things that happen in their lives. It is good to see we are not alone in having trials. Hang in there girl. You are an inspiration to me.
oh we miss yous guys too.I was going to call you the other day but i guess it was a good thing i didn't. ha ha hang in there. i'm glad you won't have to stay away forever. remember we are going to live by each other. ha ha anytime you need to vent let us know. It's good to get it out. If you ever need someone to talk to give me a call. I miss you guys being close. Kel told me that she was going to marry nathan yesterday. She misses him so bad.
Awh, Tina. My favorite scripture in the book of mormon says and it came to pass... we miss you too. We will see you soon! We are trying to find some cheap tickets wish us luck!

Oh, Tina, I am so sorry! That would be hard. We all miss you guys too! Harper asks about Nathan and was so sad that he didn't get to come to his birthday party. So at least they haven't forgotten about each other.:)It will be so fun to see you guys in a few months. Hang in there! The time will go fast. It's almost been a whole year already...crazy!
It is difficult being away from family and everything you knew growing up (I still miss maple trees and such). Sometimes I have a hard time, but (like you do) I try to focus on what is really important. For me it is my little (yet growing) happy family, a husband who is doing what will make him happy for a career, and you focus on helping your family have more stability, etc in the future. That is part of the reason that some families don't pursue higher educ. because it is difficult to go through. Like all sacrifices it will be a sweet thing once you are on the other side.
Venting can be a good thing, that is what family and friends are here for - to help out when things are tough.
Good luck!
I couldn't have said it any better than Kristina just did. We miss you guys too!
