I am thinking that I might as well just start writing in my journal instead of posting on the internet because I don't think that anyone is interested in reading my blogs anyway. I know that I sound like I am feeling sorry for myself, but I just have not had the best day today. I am just feeling kindof alone. I can hardly talk on my cell phone, I don't have a car during the day, and I can't walk to anymore stores because all I do is spend money.
I am so sorry to complain ;all though I don't know who I am saying sorry to since nobody blogs anymore. I even prayed today at lunch that when I checked my blog, my sister's and my mom's blogs for the 100th time this week that sombody will have written. I just need to keep praying for a friend who doesn't work and who has children that aren't in school. I am so grateful for the wonderful friends I have here, but I can only spend time with them on the weekends. Again, I know that I am just feeling sorry for myself, and for that I am so sorry. I have so much to be grateful for, but for whatever reason, today all I see are the clouds.

I am sorry that I have not been very good lately. I have not been feeling well, and have just been busy. But that is no excuse. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling so down right now. But I know you. There is no one I know who can make friends better than you. You have a way of reaching out to people that is amazing. Just be patient. You will find someone. And until then... I'm always here. I just might need a kick in the butt every once in a while. I have an idea of how we can talk more, but I'll call you and talk to you about it. Anyway, I love you.
My sweet Melissa, I'm so sorry that you feel all alone. I wish you could talk more too. Let me know what Andrea's idea is. I'll try to be better about blogging. Often, I run in here to check and read blogs but then don't comment thinking I'll come back and blog and comment and then never make it back. It makes me happy to read your blogs and Grandma enjoys then too. Read my blog and remember, how would you ever know you are happy if you never felt sad? Bummer...I'm probably not helping,huh. I've heard a general authority (wish I could remember who and what he said exactly) say something to the effect that it's okay to have a bad day once in a while. Maybe you remember what he said or who said it.
I'm so happy that your marriage has been enriched, and it is something that is fun to work on and needs constant care and even though regular scripture study and prayer really work in building family relationships, don't discount the experience of living on your own as your own little family unit as a vehicle for strengthening marriage realationships. You have been a trooper living with parents and I know you've learned alot, but there are some things that can't be experienced or learned until you are living as your own family unit and totally relying on each other. I'm thrilled that you are now having that experience and pray for your continued success. (these opinions are my own take them for what they're worth)I love you.
Okay Mebell,
Here is my firat attempt at the whole blogging expereince! I even talked dad and stefi into checking it but I had told them you send pictures with it. dad was in a hurry and said where are the pictures? You told me there were pictures. I said well maybe she didn't send any this time and off he went to work. Stef read one of them and I think made a comment about it.
Okay, Thursday mornings are great, it is when I feel the respsonsibiity for seminary become a little lighter as tomorrow is scripture mastery. Today we did our body armor, I was concerned that perhaps Shane or one of the youth would not do them. So much that I made it a matter of prayer. Shane was awesome, in fact he had a system going. I asked him why he didn't share his idea and said because they can look retarded and I can look smart. Michael periera I love, he is fun and cute and I think this anoys stef but that is her problem. I told her if she thought Micahel was annoying in seminary that I was sure her older brothers outclassed him by a mile (she was drinking effnog at that pint and almost choked as she laughed) and as a parent I was sure grateful for seminary teachers that loved them anyway.
But for me they are all easy to love. Okay how I am I doing so far on the blogging? As for our time with you this past weekend, it was awesome. I am so very thankful for the opportunity that the Lord has afforded you. Moving is never easy, and to me the worst s about 2-3 months into the move, your not the new person anymore but generally haven't developed real close friendships yet. Though you are the very best at this others may not respond the way youdo. And remember how I said in our ward there was no get to know you time, the saints just open up quickly, they don't require what I have termed over the years of moving, "Proff time" You probably already know what I mean, it is especially true of more established wards. It is not that they are worse in any way it is just that the military people don't have time for such frivalties. so my suggestion to you is to treat everyone they way you always do, wioth so much love and goodness that others will flock to you because of the light you give out.
Well that should be good for two weeks of writing. Don't get real excited because I have found that teaching seminary is almost like a part time job, time and commitment wise, I wonder how the brethren who teach do it? Anyway because today is my "free day here I am" I want you to know I love you so much! Oh, also the oldest Towery girl came up to me last night and asked for the other Sister Mann's address. So I hgave it to her and told her you would love to hear from her, she beamed from ear to ear as ahe walked away. They are leaving in two weeks to go to Kansas. Wow that will be an ouch, I am so impressed by their family love you love you.
ps Stef received her medallion last night it was pretty awesome.
Mom (at the beach)
Okay now I am really goin love you
It is ok to complain or to vent as I call it sometimes. You are not alone, but sometimes you feel that way and it is OK. You have such a great family that loves you. I admire you and your strength and the love you have for your family and the gospel. Thanks for being such a good example to me. I hope things start looking up and the clouds go away.
