It is late at night as I write this, 1:44 a.m. I just got finished feeding little Ellie. I can still hear her scooting around upstairs. Hopefully, soon she will fall asleep and have blissful dreams.
I guess I just want to lift up a prayer...a prayer for God to comfort me. For some reason today, leaving Abilene and the reality of that hit me like a ton of bricks. It is just so hard making friends. As I pulled out of the parking lot, several ladies waved at me...precious Mommies that have children going to Carlie's school. Women I have met over these last few weeks that have been so kind to include me in things...but as I pulled away...tears just welled up in my eyes, because I felt so alone.
All I wanted to do was go back to Abilene. Go back to my girlfriends they truly knew my heart and I didn't have to say a word and they knew when I needed a hug. I've just been so tired lately. I'm trying so hard to be intentional and call people...but most days I just want to come home and rest. Travis was so kind to remind that there was a time Abilene didn't feel like home and to anticipate all the wonderful things God will do here. I hope that is so.

Abilene misses you and Travis! I am thankful for your blog, but it is not like a hug.

Awwww...girly, hang in there! You are such an awesome person, I know all of those ladies you have met there will turn into friends that can sense what you need & when, just like they did here. Taking on moving to a new place AND having a baby at the same time is no easy task! You are always in our prayers..and we miss you in class! Tell Travis the Hughes' said hello!
I remember those days...I still have them sometimes. Not very often but occasionally. You have such a wonderful outgoing personality and more importantly love for God so I know that He is watching out for you. This too shall pass. Sending hugs and comforting prayers your way:-) Love ya!
(((Hugs)))
