Miss you

Today I branched out and actually attended the single's ward here in Cedar City.  Usually if I'm just here for a week, I'll just go with my parents.  I ended up going because my friend Dan, who I met in Omaha, is living here in Cedar.  I haven't seen him in a year, so I was excited to catch up, and it was also nice to see a familiar face.  However, oddly enough, it made me miss Omaha even more.  I don't know if you know this about me, but I suck at learning new names, and an entire ward-full of new people is just a bit overwhelming!

Needless to say, I was missing my cute little Omaha ward full of graduate students and Village Greeners (did I mention that I'm older than most of the people here?).  It's interesting to look back at my first day in the Winter Quarter's ward and realize I wasn't all that excited to be there.  Luckily being the new face eventually wore off, and I generated some really amazing friendships.  I actually just looked online and, good news, there is a young single adult branch that meets in the same town where I'll be living in Maui!  Hopefully I'll be able to make some new friends who might be patient enough to teach me to surf.
