Golfing With the Family

Mark has been working a lot of crazy hours lately. Last week, in an attempt to slow down for a minute, he took a day off from work and went golfing. He was going to play the course and invited me to go with him and drive the golf cart. I thought that sounded like a lot of fun and that the kids would have a blast so I accepted his invitation and we went to the AF Golf Course together. Unfortunately, there ended up being a waiting line just to play on the course and then he would have had to play with 3 other men. I think the kids and I would have been quite the distraction, so Mark decided to hit a bucket of balls instead. Mark really wanted me to hit the bucket of balls with him but I kindly declined telling him that it would be similar to me asking him to learn how to quilt. Fortunately I had my camera so I had something to do. Two of my 3 favorite shots are listed last. I am excited to say that little by little I think my talent for photography is growing.

Sounds like a nice day out! Good idea while the weather's still good. By the way, I can't figure out what happened to your address that you gave me, could you email it to me again. I'm such a lam-o. Also, do you know how I can get on the Merryweather Family blog? I have also gone private but I'm not sure if I have the right email address for you but I want to invite you to view it. My email is sharlacarbine at gmail dot com. Hope to hear from you soon!

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 ...

Pushed to the Limits Sometimes

I have been pretty overwhelmed lately. Actually it seems to be a recurring theme in my life that I am not very pleased about. I tend to wonder why it is that I get into situations where I feel overwhelmed. I question my ability to put my life in the right perspective. So, next week in particular is going to be beastly! My larger roles will include....teacher, preschool teacher, employee (24 hours next week), mother, maid, and cook. The problem is that I don't feel like I am excelling at any of them. For instance Zach. He needs me to be a great teacher, to give him my best and most undivided attention. Instead I am giving my all to stay awake and the rest goes to him and Jillian.

Battling Anxiety and Depression With Christ on my Side

I have been pondering this topic for over a week and still don't think I can express fully the depth of my thoughts.  I write of which I intimately know and battle every day, that of depression and anxiety.  These life debilitating illnesses sometimes rule my life, and sometimes I rule them.  I go through times in my life where I feel happy and content, and other times where the weight of my flaws brings me so low. Yesterday was the final straw of an emotional drain that I have felt as of late.  Any of the events in and of themselves shouldn't have been enough to put me into a tailspin and yet today it was more than I could handle.  Let me preface my day's events by saying that there are things I won't write about due to the privacy that my husband and children deserve, so most of what I write about concerns only me.  With that being said, we have been battling some big issues in our family and that has already made me feel quite frankly like I am failing...
