That means something like missing Twin Falls in Portuguese. I've had many saudades of Twin Falls this week.
1. This afternoon we had the opportunity of attending the Twin Falls Temple dedication via satellite and it was really nice. (One of the partner's wife from the firm Andy's working at recommended a good babysitter that lives fairly close-by so we were both able to go.) I don't know that attending the dedication made me miss TF terribly but I thought I should put that first since it was really nice to go.
2. It is lonely moving and I haven't really met anyone yet besides a nice older lady named Florence who loves to have us come and visit and tell us about her time in Iowa City or the news from the local senior center. I really like Florence and I grew up visiting older people in our neighborhood in Flagstaff, AZ, so Caleb can do the same. However, I do miss all the great friends I made in TF and look forward to making more here. I'm going to try to start a play group in our ward--we'll see what happens.
3. I miss having everything be within 2 miles and having all the places I really shop in the same little parking lot. I've tried to go shopping twice this week and I felt like I just drove around a bunch and came home with very little.
4. For anyone who sees Sister Harris in TF tell her she does a great time with singing time. We're in the primary and I miss her. Actually everyone in primary--the Twin Falls 4th Ward does an excellent job in primary.
5. I really am a small town girl--I just miss that small town (which feels large to me :)). But I will learn to enjoy the city--Boise is a small city with lots of fun things to do and I will eventually learn how to shop all at once and effectively...
So to all you wonderful people in TF--thanks for making it such a great experience!
