10.9

Sunday.  Sundays have been a little tough these days.  Vince has a new and unbearable schedule, 1pm - 9pm.  His days off are Monday and Tuesday.  Which pretty much makes going to church (1-4pm) impossible.  Vince has tried and tried to make something work with his Stg. (like trading shifts with another willing officer on Sundays), but he is all about power and won't let him switch! ??  So if Vince is lucky, every once in a while, he will be able to use some vacation hours so he can make it to church.  UGH!!  I don't have a lot of patience for illogical nonsense.  I am, on the other hand, completely proud of my husband, who stands up for what he knows is right.  Even when it is not the popular thing to do!
So... tough to go to church without Vince.  I miss sitting next to him, PLUS the kids (W,B,Bry) were completely irreverent!  Today Brenna was full of the wiggles, and acted like she was 4!  Wyatt kept bothering Bryant and asking him to ask me if he could color. (I guess thinking I would let Bryant and then Wyatt could join in.)  Preston was wonderful!  He truly is growing up and ready for the responsibilities of the Priesthood!  Hopefully next Sunday will be the day! (fingers crossed!)  Riley bore his testimony today in Sacrament.  It was a wonderful surprise, as he walked up to the pulpit from the back door usher position.  I am so thankful that he is able to share his thoughts and beliefs with others.  It lifted me.  ...So I started off feeling a bit sorry for myself and as I write this, I can see how very blessed I really am!!  :)
