It's official.....Craig was set apart on Sunday as the 1st counselor in our Bishopric. Some of you have been waiting for weeks to hear what his new calling is (It was like a tease to tell us that he would be called & have to wait a month to actually have it done.) So, it's finally done. The Stake Presidency was out of town all month, so it was a little delayed. Craig was a little nervous about being sustained. For some reason he wondered if people would sustain him or not. I don't know why he worried. I know he'll do a great job! He's gotten quite a few comments about how happy people are that he was called & how he'll be great in the Bishopric. I agree. He's such a great Father & Priesthood holder. I am so lucky to have him. I look forward to seeing how this helps our family grow & I hope I can handle everything that the future holds. I guess that's why there are grandparents that live close by, right? Hint, hint......
We received a letter in the mail today that made Craig & I feel really good. It was from a member who has been excommunicated & has been coming back to church for a few months now & was there on Sunday (some of you may know her.) She says in her letter that she was happy to see Craig put in the Bishopric & she's been watching our little family at church & knew Craig would be put in the Bishopric. She said our children are so well behaved (she doesn't see me silently squeezing their knee when they misbehave. LOL) She also said how impressed she was with Adam as he passed the sacrament & how much that says about us as parents. She said how great a job Craig would do & what a wonderful family we have. It was so nice to hear that someone thinks we're good parents. No matter what our kids say.LOL It's just not everyday that someone tells you that. It was such a nice letter. I really need to get to know her better. She lives about a mile from us. Even more reason to friendship her.
Anyway, enough of my blabbing. We're excited for the new chapter this opens up in our life & the chance for opportunity & growth. I hope we can live up to the expectations that come along with it too. Wish us luck, say your prayers, cross your fingers, whatever you do....we'll need it! LOL

Congrads on the new calling. I know he will do a great job. You guys are great parents. That sounds like such a nice letter.
You married a great guy, and he will do a great job! It will be hard for you to sit with your kids alone. Our bishopric is one that has young kids. Sometimes you see that they have their BOYS sitting behind them in the choir seats. They sit really quiet when the whole ward is watching. Congrats to Craig.
Yea!! HOw fun. Craig will be great in the Bishopric, tell him he's just silly for thinking everyone wouldn't sustain him!!! He is a great role model in church I'm sure.
I'm patiently waiting for the next good post about what you're having :D... I can't imagine how you must feel waiting!
If we hadn't moved away, we'd have sustained him.
He's an awesome Scouter, I hope that he still has time for that too.
You and Candy both are bishopric widows with lots of little children. It couldn't happen to nicer families. I suspect you'll be needing Grandma to sit with the bigger kids when the baby is born. You are naming her Kelli, right? (snicker)
