Halloween





Alright, I am almost embarrassed to post these pictures online but I have to preface it none the less by saying this. I had to work until 6. By the time I got home and everyone was ready it was dark outside. So, there went the cool outside pictures. Then to make matters worse, I haven't figured out the indoor lighting thing yet so honestly I am not posting these for photographic purposes. I tried to get pictures of the kids as we were running out the door, and this is the best I got. *sigh*

With all of that being said....Halloween was really fun. The kids were hilarious posing for pictures, they wanted to actually "pose" and why not it is more fun that way. Right? We handed out churros this year and apparently the neighborhood was all a buzz about it. Mark and I took the younger three out trick or treating, Zach went out with a friend, and Rachael and Andrew stayed home watching movies and handing out churros. When we got home we made Zuppa Toscana soup. An Olive Garden copy cat recipe that is awesome and has become a yearly tradition for us. I actually liked the holiday this year which says a lot for me. Maybe it has a lot to do with the fact that Mark was home instead of gone in Europe like he was last year. Absence always makes the heart grow fonder. Even fonder for holidays one normally dislikes.

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 ...
