In early December Scott and I were called in to meet with our Stake President (clergyman). This can never be a good sign. :) He asked Scott to serve as a member of our ward bishopric which also required he become a High Priest. He, of course, humbly accepted the assignment and we stewed about the logistics of his assignment for a couple of weeks by ourselves.
On December 9th, Scott was ordained to the office of High Priest by his father and then set apart as a member of the Elm Creek Ward bishopric. They were sweet blessings given by a loving father and a member of our stake presidency. I was a very proud wife that day. Meanwhile, I cried...a lot...as he walked up to the stand and left me with a 2 year old and a 2 month old. *sigh* Since when did my 30 year old husband become an old man?! :)
We are only 3 weeks into this new calling and already a lot of things have changed. I was released from my calling as 1st Counselor in the Young Women organization and Scott is gone--A LOT! (I have a new appreciation for bishop's wives!) I sit by myself in Sacrament meeting every week with our 2 small boys which requires a lot of....patience? insanity? I'm still trying to figure out which. ;) And, because I had to be released from my calling with the Young Women due to conflicting meeting schedules, I was asked to serve as a Relief Society instructor. Scott is feeling overwhelmed by the demands being placed upon him but is still very considerate of our family demands and time. He is a dedicated and humble person and I am grateful for the blessings we have already seen from his service.
So, here we go again! Our lives have taken another turn and we are trying to take things in stride. Hopefully we will get this new schedule figured out! Oh, and wish me luck. Getting 2 boys and myself up and out the door for church at 9:00 a.m. next year will require some miracle work. :)
