Last Minute Portraits




On Saturday when I was talking with Mark's Dad's fiance she asked us for a family portrait. Yikes!!! So, Saturday night I was up until after midnight finding clothes around the house that the kids could wear and then we were back up by 6 am to get ready and go to take family pictures. I have been picking people's brains about where to go and when to go and I think I finally found a spot that I like. So, the pictures turned out fairly well, and I have found (through a great recommendation from Rebecca Matheson) a great printing shop. Hopefully everything will come together. I need to start having somebody come with us when we take family pictures though so that they can keep pushing the button instead of me pushing the button on the camera and then running into place. It made for some funny moments though. Especially the moment with the huge piece of cactus in my heal. We even made it back only 10 minutes late for church. Whew, that was a crazy morning.

What I Would Tell My Younger Self

Last week was a really tough week for our Bishop and family. First, my husband went out of town on business and it happened to overlap with our daughter and her babies visiting us. So, three days that she was here, he didn't get to see her. Then, he flew back into town Wed. around town and then we drove our daughter to the airport Thursday morning at 4:30. Yes, that is early, and yes, we did go back to bed when we got home. ;o) Then he worked all day Thursday and I will spare you the details but it was a bad day. His non-boss boss was in a foul mood and he got the brunt of it.  Thursday evening he had the yearly ward audit and didn't get home until close to 10. Friday was another fun filled day at work, and then Friday evening and Saturday were filled with youth conference which he attended and was a chaperone for during the entire event. Sunday was a rough "bishop" day that he couldn't talk about, and quite frankly, I didn't want to hear about.  That leads us...

Officially in the Limelight!

I had an interesting experience this evening. Without divulging more than I should, let's just say that I was told that people in my area are concerned that I have not kept my information about the stake changes private until the appropriate time. They were concerned that because I dated my blog post for the date of my writing some people thought that I had said something before the stake split announcement. Let me assure you that this isn't the case. I date my posts for the day that I write them but I didn't post them until Nov. 9th, the afternoon of the day of Stake conference. With that being said, this experience brought to my attention how much being a bishop's wife really is somewhat like being on show for everyone. Sometimes you are scrutinized and it is good, and sometimes it isn't so good.  I felt truly inspired to write and keep this blog so that people can get an idea of what a normal bishop's family is like. This however can be difficult because I ...
