New Phone Love

We have been having the worst problems with Sprint. Constant missed phone calls and texts. To our benefit and relief Sprint changed conditions in our contract which made our current contract null and void. So, since we wouldn't be charged any cancellation fees we opted to change our phone service back over to Verizon, who I must say I love!!!

Mark got a hold of the corporate rep who cut us an incredible deal. Only one hundred dollars later we now have 2 new chocolate touches and 2 new droid phones. I was really hesitant about getting a phone with a data plan. First of all, it is more expensive. Second, I really didn't see that I had a need for one, that is, until Mark started explaining some of the benefits to having such a phone. Like syncing my ever increasing calendar. With as crazy as life is I started seeing a benefit to that one feature alone. Simplification is always my mantra and Mark promised simplification with a phone that has a data plan. So....I went for it!

Can I just say...WOW!!! I am so excited about my new phone I can hardly stand it. I have this application that keeps track of my Weight Watchers points. It even scans barcodes, recognizes the item and enters it into my food diary. I can sync my calendar with my Google calendar and even set appointments from my phone. Not only can I sync my calendar, but I can sync the rest of my family's calendar's too! I have an app that let's me listen to Pandora in my car. No more junky music on a radio that barely picks up signal, I can listen to my choice of music and not have to scan the stations.

Honestly, I have only touched the surface. This phone is absolutely amazing! I think, as funny as this is to say, this one simple change has impacted my life for the better....for-e-ver, for-e-ver, for-e-ver!

(Hee hee hee.)

I will covet your phone for-e-ver until I get one too! Next time I'm at the store and I've forgotten my WW calculator I'm calling you!

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.

Broccoli Salad

My children have this thing for broccoli salad and they beg me to make it weekly. Every time I make it I become mom of the week around here which I happen to like! One would think that it might be odd for kids to love broccoli salad, and I am not necessarily thinking it is normal, but I do know it is pretty tasty. I decided for today's post to share my recipe. Beware, I am all about easy so don't expect something elaborate, and I cook for a crowd so if you want to make this adjust to your size of family. 1/2 package of broccoli florets from Costco (chopped) 1/2 red cabbage (shredded) 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of Craisins 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of real bacon bits 2 handfuls (or add to desired preference) of unsalted sunflower seeds 1/2 a bottle of Kraft Creamy Poppyseed Dressing Mix Seriously, if my kids scarf this salad down I promise most kids will.
