Thank You!!

On Sunday Jeff was released as our ward's Bishop. He served as a counselor for 3 years and then was called as the Bishop almost 5 1/2 years ago. Since we've had kids there has only been 6 months where he hasn't sat on the stand at church. We had mixed reactions from the kids when we told them. Kate was sad because she said no one would bring us treats or get cupcakes from the Young Women anymore. Calvin was just stone faced and quiet (shock)?, Kira jumped up and down and squealed. None of our kids know what it's like to sit with Daddy in church and they are pretty excited about that. I'm probably more along the lines of Kira. I'm pretty excited myself to have two extra hands during Sacrament Meeting. :)

I just want to say THANK YOU to my wonderful husband. He has done such an amazing job as the Bishop of our ward. He has such a big heart and he loves everyone in our ward so much. He is such an example to me of selfless service, willing sacrifice, wisdom and humility. He was always available and willing to help whoever needed his help, whenever they needed it. He was prayerful and inspired in all of his work as a Bishop and as the leader in our family. And he was always patient and loving and thoughtful of me as I have struggled with our 5 kids during those times. I know I'm just hanging on riding his coat tails but I'm grateful he's mine and is willing to drag me along. I LOVE YOU JEFF!
