Second Day in Florida


Today was so much fun!!! We started out the morning with Judy treating Aunt Pat and I to a spa pampering. We had pedicures and got acrylic nails put on. This experience was a first for Aunt Pat who loved every minute of it. She even had her eyebrows waxed and dyed! Way to get girly with me Aunt Pat. :o)

After Aunt Pat and I got back from the spa we had leftovers and headed off on some exploring around town. Our first stop was the Gaylord Palms where Rachael stayed when she was at her Nationals competition down here. All I can say is WOW!!! This is an incredible hotel and I am so amazed at how beautiful it is. Mark, Pat, and I had our jaws dropped throughout the whole self tour that we took. Rachael was definitely spoiled!!!

Next we drove through Celebrations the Disney town. We stopped in at the most quaint posh hotel located on the lake right in the middle of the town. After taking some pictures and wandering around for a little bit we found the most comfortable old timer rocking chairs sitting on the patio. We had the funniest man who works at the hotel come up and ask to see our camera. What transpired next was completely hilarious. He said to us "wow, this is a nice camera, can I take your pictures?" Then he started clicking away, all the while saying things like "nice", "beautiful", and "oh, that was a good one" I felt like a model or something and it was so funny. Mark, Aunt Pat, and I laughed and laughed.

Afterwards we drove over to Downtown Disney and walked through all of the shops. By this time is was pouring down rain but for anybody that has been to Florida you can understand how wonderful it felt. When it rains there it is like raining bath water. We walked around and got drenched and loved every minute of it. We bought a present for each of the kids and of course had to sit down and try out the motorcycles at the Harley shop.

We finished up the night back over at Judy's house for the rehearsal dinner where we had a delicious traditional Irish dinner followed by ice cream and strawberries.

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 ...
