Good ol' Tim

We celebrated Tim's 67th and 68th birthdays with that many birthday spankings :) He likes to think he has two birthdays since his birth certificate has a different birthday than what his family members say his birthday is. Anyway, I made him a nice dinner and cinnamon rolls, since he doesn't like cake, and he was happy to finally have a wide-brimmed hat for all the work he does outdoors.


What a blessing Tim is in our lives! The things I love most about Tim: incredibly selfless and giving, strong testimony of the gospel, worthy priesthood holder, dedicated to being a caring husband and father, cute sense of humor, always the optimist, fixer and builder of all things, my best friend and my psychiatrist :) I love you, Tim!

Today our stake reorganized the wards in our area, and now we're in a new ward. We will miss our friends who are in the other ward now, but we know this change was the Lord's will and is a good sign that the church is growing. So many good memories serving with and enjoying our time with these good friends. I will miss the sweet kids in my Primary class. Because it's a new ward, we were released from our callings. Our dear Bishop Rodriguez was released, and Tim as his second counselor. Bishop Billings was called as the bishop of our new ward, and Tim as his first counselor. We love and sustain Bishop Billings and know he will do a great job. With Tim's new calling I am again reminded how blessed I am to have a husband who honors his priesthood and serves and sacrifices so willingly. We have been so richly blessed because of Tim's righteousness and service in the church. I don't know if anyone is reading this who isn't a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but if by chance there is, please watch this video about the blessings of the priesthood: http://old.mormon.org/mormonorg/eng/videos?channelId=ad1fcf6cdfeac110VgnVCM1000003a94610aRCRD&sourceId=4008747631f92210VgnVCM100000176f620a____ (click on "Blessings of the Priesthood")

I think there are a lot of people who can join you in being grateful for that good hubby of yours and his willing service. You picked good! :) Even Ally loves "Timmy". And she doesn't like anybody. ;)
