Time flies. Jake is gone more frequently with bishoping right now. Part of it is tithing deceleration was able to start a month earlier. I just try to be supportive. It does get lonely sometimes and is hard for me when I can tell things are weighing in him and we can’t discuss. With that said, I try not to ask questions and just let him hold me in his arms when he gets home from those hard days. I am learning that it is a calling no one understands until they’re in it and will forever be kind to bishops and their families. 

Ginny was able to come home for a couple days over fall break. It was good to be with her. How I miss my girls. Jake told me a couple night ago that no one told him how hard it would be when his girls left. He expressed how he missed the smiles, laughter, and music in her home. Me too, me too. I no am trying to focus inward on my boys (and girls when they let me) since much of Jake’s focus needs to be outward now. We balance each other well.
