This week has been like no other.
Our life feels different.
Things that used to bother me are as if they are gone.
My heart is mush.
Our home feels like peace in a box.
I have fallen in love with Jeff all over again.
I cry every day.
He is so tired.
Sally Jane asked me today if Dad is going to have to wear a suit everyday for the rest of his life.
We have felt the love of so many.
I wish I would have done more for my past Bishops.
I wish I would have reached out more to his kids and wife.
I know Heavenly Father loves us so much
I know Jeff has been prepared for this time
I know I don't want to do, watch, listen or say anything that would take away from this feeling in our home.
I am humbled.

Wow. I am tearing up and I could feel the spirit in that post. You are a beautiful family. Please share when you feel you can.
ReplyDeleteHow glorious! I am so happy for your family. I am going to have our family do something to thank our bishop and his family; I haven't expressed my appreciation and admiration for them enough.
ReplyDeleteNow I know why you had to change your flight and go home early! I wish we could have talked/met up. Been where you are and am so happy for you! This will truly be one of the best seasons of your family's life. Congratulations! You will be an awesome Bishop's wife!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post! I am so glad that you feel you have been prepared and that you have such a wonderful spirit in your home. And falling in love with your husband all over again is a great blessing in itself!
ReplyDeleteThis all makes me very happy. Love you guys, you are in our prayers. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful thoughts! I know for us, we are mindful and prayerful for our bishop and his family. We try to send a note of appreciation once a year. It is a HUGE sacrifice for all - but what wonderful blessings!
ReplyDeleteThis will be one of the hardest and most rewarding times of your life! I hope that you keep a journal to read in the future of these tender thoughts and feelings.
ps - I want PEACE IN A BOX...!
I like this list! I like you and I like Jeff. He will be such a wonderful bishop and if nothing, he is weekly eye candy! Lol!
ReplyDeleteThis is a sweet post. I felt like I could feel a bit of that spirit that's in your home just by reading. I'm sure this will be an incredible journey for your family!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous. Blessings and Prayers to all the Bishops of the world, and to your family especially as you begin this awesome journey.
ReplyDeleteYour family will do well on this journey. All the best!
ReplyDeleteIt's a journey for sure. My heart is with you--your ward is very fortunate, indeed!
