Oh, By-The-Way

Just when you think life is stable, things change. Apparently that is what the Lord thought we needed right now - change. For anyone who is interested, MJH was made a Bishop on Sunday. As if his job didn't create enough of a widow out of me, I will be a certified single parent for a few more years to come.

People keep asking me how I am doing. I thought I had been doing pretty well until tonight when my 4 year-old started barfing, my baby was unusually fussy, CMH started begging to watch ANOTHER movie, and I had to get dinner and barf cleaned up as MJH walked out the door for his first night of interviews. Hummmmmm - this may not be very fun. I looked at the clock to see how much longer until bedtime. . . not good.

On the flip side, I have been promised lots of blessings to come. I'm gonna be needing those - I just heard AAH ask for his barf bowl again. Gotta go.

Your little guy is so cute!! I am happy that he is strating to stand and hope he continues with the wonderful progress.

I had all three barfing this week, but only for about 2 hours in the morning and than they would be fine all day until the next morning. I hope we are all done!!

I am always amazed at the wife of the Bishop. They have to be really to sacrifice their hubby to those in the ward. You will be blessed and so will your family.

Oh my goodness!!! I'm not sure whether to say "congratulations" or "my condolences". You will do great! You may not recognize him in a few years when he comes home but you will hold down the fort just fine. :-) That's what you get for marrying an awesome guy. Should have settled. Ha ha!
