Today is my one month anniversary. Did you know that?
Why does it feel like maybe a 6 month anniversary? Time seemed to of slowed down here.
Oh we have had such great, fabulous luck here: making good friends so quickly, loving our neighborhood, being invited to play groups, going out on date nights, girls nights, ward camp outs..etc...(we have been put in the right place for sure!)but put that aside for a bit.
Today I had a craving...I had a craving for my sisters.
My girls period.
Nothing would fill that void today.
Even though today the pool was heavenly....lots of great new friends for me and great new friends for the kids...lots of conversation, yes!
But...do you know that feeling of just being with your girls? my girls....the girls who know you, inside and out.
The girls you could hang with all day, talking, laughing, and simply hanging out.
Yes, that was today.
I told the hubby I really need a sister fix..
soon.
Phone chats, emails, texts, facebook...it is just not the same.
I miss you girls.
I miss our simple moments: our kids running back and forth, our walks at night, our simple diet coke park days.
Just know that I am thinking about you all.
You know the love I have for you girls.
Deeper now when distance separates.
A heart realizes the importance of such relationships.
I am a lucky girl. I have 9 sisters and friends I consider sisters.
I am lucky.
and
tonight
I miss
you
all.
I love you!
Keep thinking of me. Us Stott's out on our CO adventures...
We are loving it. honestly. But think of you every day.
Thanks for your calls, your texts, your emails,
keep them coming...
they fill my heart and give me the courage to keep going.
Love you tons!
Happy one month anniversary!
(what is 2 months going to feel like? :)
loves from your sis and
xo, Tawny!
and p.s.
I love it! love it! love it! Really I do.
why?
because it's warm, it's happy, and it's my birthday month, and because we celebrate the red, white, and blue (twice!), we have bbq's till dusk, we go swimming every day, the kids stay out and play, the sun is up early and stays out late....I just LOVE July!
yay!
life is good.

Love this post....and LOVE YOU TOO! It's funny how a little distance makes us realize the important things in life! I am glad that your "new life" is good, but I miss your energy and smiling face!!! I also miss your kiddos - Carson asked me the other day when we are going to go visit Mace!!!
xoxo
July ia my favorite month too. I'll have to write a dedication to July post too :)
Brie and I went to the pool yesterday and missed your presence. You are just the most awesome person ever, I told Brie "I wish I were Tawny!"
When you visit we shall all go to the pool like old times. Your sisters are so lucky to have you as you are to have them. L, Laurie
Miss you too!! Summer (and Crestwood) isn't the same without you. This week I was thinking about our birthdays coming up, and it made me sad that we won't get to go out and celebrate them together like we always do.
Way to make it through the first month! We love you and hope to see you this winter. Enjoy the fireworks and 4th of July stuff for us- we'll be thinking of our fun times with you last 4th!
One big anniversary down, others to come but they will fuzzily go by. Keeping busy is the universal antidote to a little lonliness. I know that well. I was lonely for my family for so many years. Maybe that is why I had so many kids.? (haha) But it has worked. My children have become my best friends. So, thank you for the heartfelt post. We miss you so much too and talk of you every day. We miss your children also and the holes you left in the fabric of our family will never be patched up. They will remain but we all go on and create new fabrics but on some days wish for what we had. I cant wait to see you all. Love
Mom
We miss you too!! I can't believe it has been one month. Well, actually I can, it seems a lot longer than that. It is just not the same, we all miss you and my kids are so sad. They talk about you all every day. I hope you are doing well, and keep making friends. Tell Ryan you need to come up for afew days, we miss ya. Love you guys -
ps it was Landri's bday Friday, and she wanted to invite Mace so bad. We wish all of your kids could have been there!!
Thanks all YOU GIRLS!!!
Your words are all so sweet.
I needed to hear your love...
I really miss ya back home.
Yes we are doing good here, but my heart needed a sister moment...big time...:)
thanks and loves! (I have the greatest peeps!) xo
A month only?? It feels like three at least! I miss you too. You know that with all my phone calls and my cry day last week.I'm glad you're happy and hanging in there--but I can imagine that it's hard to leave your girls behind. But please realize how much we all still think about and miss you. It's not a "one way" road. Love you! Hope to see you soon. Hint, hint..come!!
