So I started this post at 8:00 this morning, it is now almost 10:00 pm.
Ryan and I both received new callings at church. Me as the 2nd counselor in primary and Ryan as the new Bishop. I wore all black. ;) I am already overwhelmed. Ryan is supposed to be gone everyday this week except Friday and maybe Saturday, unless some emergency pops up. But I am sure blessings will come from it and besides it is what the Lord wants us to do right now and who am I to argue with the Lord. It was really neat to see him set apart and to feel the spirit in that room. I will just have to remember that feeling when I am putting the kids to bed by myself everynight. He will do great and everything will be fine I am sure. Just positive stuff from here on. :) Click on the links if you have questions about what I am talking about here.

Wow! That is terrific! I LOL at the wearing all black comment. What a blessing to your ward and your family. I'm sure it will all be great! He'll be a fantastic bishop and you'll be a great B.W. :)
Re: Primary. You know me, I don't think there is any better place to serve in the church, I'm on my 13th solid year. (That makes me sound really really old!) www.sugardoodle.net is a great resource.
Keep us posted and I'm sure you'll all be blessed in many ways. ((hug))
Um - wow! I agree with Melissa; you guys will both do a great job. This will be a huge blessing for your family.
What a great blessing for you and your family and your ward. He'll make a great Bishop. Just think of all that great alone time you will have with your kids! LOL!
That is wonderful. It is so nice to see you guys grow spirtually. I know that Ryan will be a great bishop. You will now have kids and more kids everyday! You guys will be great.
Good luck with the new callings! I thought for sure the Bishop's wife would have the easiest calling... I can sympathize with not have a husband around. Between Dave's job and his calling (Elders Quorum President) He is not home a lot and bed time is the hardest... then is where the blessings come in handy! You are a very understanding person, you will do great! Just hang in there!
Hi Karen - what a neat experience for your family. I just noticed your blog on Andrea's facebook comment and wanted to say hi. Congratulations with the baby. Sorry I missed out on telling you earlier. I wish you and your husband well in your new callings.
Wow! That is awesome! Just remember to delegate when needed. And you can always call Mary for advice!! -Robin
Thanks everyone! I am so blessed to have great friends from all over!
exciting times! find a family with teenagers to sit by you and help out
How wonderful for your family - I think he'll be a great bishop! You both have so much to offer - I'm really excited for you. Although I must say, I had to laugh at you wearing all black! Primary is such a fun, happy place (okay, at least most of the time) - at least you're not dealing with teenage tears and hormones like in YW.
I'd love to hear how it's going.
D'oh ... I know this happened a couple months ago, but I thought it was great when I heard it. Ryan will do great as a Bishop. That's a lot of work, and a load for you too, Karen, but I'm sure you'll both do great!
