We've had an exciting Sunday! We got a call Saturday night that we missed they didn't call until about 9:15 pm and I was putting the girls to bed and had the ringer on low so we didn't hear it. The phone rang again Sunday morning at 7:19 am it was Brother Price, again we didn't make it to the phone in time, he left a message wanting to make sure we were going to make our 8:15 appt with the Stake President that morning that we didn't know about until then . So we rushed to get ready and be there in less than an hour. With no idea why he needed to meet with both of us. I suspected maybe a stake calling for Paul (hoping not me). Getting into the jeep it wouldn't start, we had to jump it off. We arrived about 5 min late... To find out that we were getting a new Bishop and Bishopric, and Paul was being called as the 2nd counselor in the bishopric.
I'm grateful that I've found a husband that is worthy to hold the priesthood. And can receive a calling like that. I know Paul will do his best. And I guess he is now the youngest High Priest at our ward now. He turns 31 in 2 weeks. He told me when we got home that he feels old now. My comment was now we can't go to the elders quorum socials, and the High Priest don't have socials.
I know I'll be a single mom on Sundays now, but I was already. Paul normally had meeting for Elders Quorum in the mornings and I already had to get everybody ready on my own. I actually like Paul serving in the Church our home seems to be much happier when he has a calling that he is fulfilling.
Although now he says we can not turn the TV on Sundays and we're trying harder to say our prayers together at night and read a few chapters together at night in the Book Of Mormon. Hopefully we can stay with it. You don't know how many times we've read the book of Nephi together but don't normally get much further than that.
As long as he is serving in the Church I can handle him being away from us, because I know he is where the Lord wants him and we will have what we need without him. And he will be with great men of the Church doing the Lords work.

You are such a sweetheart and have such a wonderful attitude about things. Nathan is so excited about getting serve with Paul. Paul is going to be GREAT!
P.S. Even though our husbands are not technically in Elder's quorum anymore, I don't think they would mind if we crashed their socials every now and then :)
Wow, congrats! That is a hugh calling...I am really proud of Paul and glad that you guys are striving to live the way the Lord would have you...I think we all struggle with saying our prayers consistantly and reading scriptures. You are right when it comes to having a husband that upholds the priesthood, there is a spiritual presence in the home. We are thinking of you and miss you guys.
OH WHAT HAPPY TIMES!! It was so fun to see Paul up on the stand on Sunday! You will get blessing from Heaven for having him not sit with you on Sundays and have to get the girls ready by yourself and go home alone after church. In Washington Heath was in and I just had Millie, it was rough getting 5 kids up feed ready and out the door with everyone smiling. He LOVED it! I LOVED to look up on the stand and admire my Good looking Husband! If you ever need one of my older girls to come sit with you and be helpers they would love to help. Or we could tag team and sit by eachother and I can help you. We love you and are excited for you all!
