It is not the end of the world...I think I can see it though.

We made it to Price, Utah. The town is not as bad as I thought it would be. Trying to fit our belongings into less than half the house that we had in Boise is frustrating but I am working on it. I guess I was too busy packing in Boise to even think about leaving but the night we got here the reality of the situation really hit me. I absolutely LOVED everything about living in Boise and all of the sudden it was gone. I was beginning to think that I just couldn't do it and then, I was reminded that the Lord will carry our burdens for us. I prayed that I would be able to deal with all of the emotions I was feeling and have a positive attitude. Just like that I felt the strength I needed to get me through that day. The hymn Count Your Blessings came to my mind and I have tried to remember those words when I have felt like my situation is completely horrible. There are many challenges to this move but I do have much to be grateful for. I have to work to find some silver lining as I am cramming our belongings in to every space I can find and hand washing the dishes since we have no dishwasher here. One day at a time, sometimes that is all you can do. I am sure someday we will look back and say"remember that rental we had when we moved to Price?" I guess I should just work on making some fun memories! I will post some pictures once we get all the boxes out of the way to take them.

I love your title for this post. That is what everybody says. I was wrong about the ward I grew up in. It was the 9th ward. My maiden name was Rasmussen and my parents last name was Jenks. Wonderful people! Good luck!

Love,
Trudi

I hate moving to a new place. You don't know where to get your hair cut, or buy groceries, or go to the doctor. That's exactly how I felt when we moved to Boise, and now we love it.

I guess what I'm trying to say is hang in there. It does get better! Once you have your boxes unpacked things will start to feel more settled and you'll feel more like it could be a home one day. Good luck!
