Rachael Growing Up...




How in the world did it happen that my daughter went from 8 to 18 overnight? Her baptism day was a beautiful day filled with so much of life ahead of her. Suddenly she is graduating with an even bigger life ahead of her. She has so much to look forward to with college, dating, marriage, children, the list of firsts goes on. I know she is going to have a wonderful new life but the saying goodbye to the old way of life is going to be hard. I will miss her being around every day. I will miss her cute laugh and silliness, and even the way she calls me madre. I am not ready to admit that the change I have been trying to ignore is finally upon me. How do you say goodbye to the old? How do you want the new and miss the old at the same time? Well, all questions I have been pushing aside because they bring tears to the surface. One thing for sure, I love that little girl of mine. In a matter of 11 days we will have seminary graduation and high school graduation. Ready or not...here we come.

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 ...
