Interesting thing two weeks ago, Mark became a Bishop. I mean, I know he's a good person and all, and I always knew this could happen. But it sure is a different experience. We both kind of feel like we are now living someone else's life. Soneone says, "Bishop!" and lately, they are usually talking to him!
I'm not sure if I'm a total fan of all this. We had some of his ward members (20) of them over last night for FHE; that was fun, and always is. It's just, deep down, we're kind of lazy! Well, we DREAM about being lazy and vegging. Not that we do it all that much. We get up early, like 6:30 or 7 (kay, it's not that early) but then we bike 6 miles to work, Mark bikes an extra 5 to his and back to pick me up about 5 p.m., and bike home together; home at 6; sometimes play with or watch grandkids, and now he'll be off to the Church at least one night per week, usually more than that, with long Sundays. I don't really mind having free time to hang out and work on some of my home projects, of which I have quite a few. But it DOES take quite a bit of time. Bottom line, we want to do whatever we can to help other people, so for now, this is it. Later in life we will get to be more lazy. So we'll try to have fun, despite the busy-ness, and enjoy life NOW. You just never know what the future will bring!
