My sugar daddy...

...is now my Bishop too. ian was just called and set apart on sunday to serve in this capacity for our church. it is an honor for him and truly humbling. we have a great love for the people at church and regard them as family. we have known for a couple of weeks and it was hard for me to keep my mouth shut but now i can share the news - good grief! he's saying "when will i see my kids and family" and i'm saying "who's gonna help me with these wild ones during sacrament"!!!!

bishop tervet

so i guess 2009 will bring some unexpected adventures in our lives. it's all good. maybe i can talk my way out of giving a talk at church, or have my say in the type of candy that's in his office, or now have an excuse to go crazy shopping for new ties, and shoes and suits for him! yipee! you see he doesn't have to dress up for work so his "church wardrobe" is a bit dated and, well, out of style. as i think about it all it means a lot of things/changes/adjustments/shifting gears. i know ian will rise to the occasion, i hope i can and that i will be able to keep up in his shadow or at least catch up and scurry by his side.
this was my wake-up call.
song of the day: "papa don't preach" - just kidding!

Wow... I am so excited for you!! I personally can't imagine how I would feel. The best guess I can make would be "totally overwhelmed"! But, what I do know is that your family is amazing, and that you are going to receive some incredible blessings for your service to the Lord! WOW!!!

You guys are probably the cutest bishop & wife duo I've ever seen!! We are SOOOO excited for you!
Does Ian/Bishop seriously let you dress him? I'm totally jealous...Will would wear jean cut offs to church before he let me buy him a suit!

Wowee...I'm not sure if I should congratulate you two or offer my condolences. Well you are in for a ride and some amazing blessings too. Does this mean no more stories about "sexpectations?"
