Little Nudges in the Right Direction

Merry Christmas From The Bishop Family


I'm sitting here at the computer, reading blogs while the little ones sleep, a little late might I add, when the little being in my tummy started nudging me. A lot. And so I've decided maybe it's the nudge of "why don't you update the blog already?" And here I am. You can all thank the baby in a few months. :)

Christmas is coming. I am mostly ready. I've been thinking a lot lately, seeing as how my belly is growing, about things I love and hate about pregnancy. But mostly, I've been reading a lot about belly bands and I think I've decided I need to try these things out. So if you see my husband, could you let him know that for Christmas I would like one? You can find them at Target! :) I would like white. ;)

Aftyn is growing up a lot lately! Maybe it's because we're requiring of her to act a little more grown up, but she is saying more words, speaking and not just repeating us in more and more things and just acting so very grown up! She is going to be 19 months tomorrow, but it seems so quick for her to be acting so mature. I like it and it makes me a little sad. All at the same time.

Reed is working as hard as ever, still fixing and putting in scales. He and I both got new callings this past month. He will no longer be the ward mission leader, he is now the 2nd counselor in the Sunday School Presidency. This means no more evenings during the week gone, no more early morning Sunday meetings. We sure get to see a whole lot more of him, and we're not used to it but we like it!
My new calling is to be a CTR 8 teacher - is that right? Anyway, all I know is I teach 8 year old boys and girls and a lot of the boys I know from my old calling in scouts! That's kinda nice since I felt a little sad about leaving scouts. I am really excited to have a Sunday calling as this will fit better with my life right now.
I promise to have some fun postings coming up, I've just been feeling kind of blah lately. My mindset has been, "Christmas is coming too fast, Christmas is coming too slow, it doesn't feel like Christmas," and round and round. I blame it on hormones.

Either way, I am feeling more prepared now and so I am excited for Christmas. Excited to get to spend lots of time with family and making memories with them and excited to watch Aftyn this year enjoy Christmas a little bit more than last year. I'm most of all excited to spend Christmas morning with my own little family, feeling loved and loving them and finding out what our future holds (pink or blue? ? ?).

May you all have a Merry Christmas!
