Heavenly Father REALLY wants to test us and keep us on our toes...
This past Sunday Noah was sustained as the 2nd counselor in our ward.
We are still a little shocked. We know it will take lots of hard work and many many prayers to get through this next couple years..but we also know we can do it with faith in the Lord. Meeting with our Stake Pres. last week was a night I will never forget. It brought me to tears how strong the spirit was. And the testimony Pres. bore will be with me forever. It was exactly what I needed to hear to give me the confidence while accompanying Noah through this journey. I know Noah was chosen by Heavenly Father through our amazing new Bishop. Noah will be great and I'm sure our ward will soon love and follow him as I already do.
Noah's parents came in to town this past weekend. I am always amazed at how wonderful they are. They heard the news and were on a plane in 2 days! I mean seriously..who does that? Sunday was a crazy day so it was so great to have them here to help with everything.
(blah! This is why I am starting my diet! Our night out at Red Robin before Noah's parents left)

How awesome to have such a spiritual uplift! Noah will do awesome, as will you with the new schedule I'm sure. Good luck!
And uhm, pretty sure you don't need a diet!!!
That's awesome! Noah will be amazing. Sad for you having him away so much, but I know your family will be so blessed. I'm sure Ronan will get used to it.
Diet? You look fantastic! Miss you guys. Hang in there!
oh wow! that must be so overwhelming but such a blessing at the same time. noah will be perfect! we miss you guys!
You know Noah is going to be FANTASTIC!!! I always look at Jenn Moss with her kids and wonder how she does it. I freak out every time Dustin has to help pass the sacrament. Luke ended up with the Farnsworths last Sunday.
And NO DIETS! Unless you plan on breaking it in 2 weeks.
Wowzers!! That is great!! You will all be so blessed!! If anybody can handle it with a smile on their face, you can! Noah will be super!!
Couldn't think of a better person for the job. They are lucky to have Noah. You just need to find a helper in sacrament. I always look at those families & think how do they do it. Todd passed the sacrament the other Sunday & I was exhausted. Good luck!!!! & please you look amazing like you always do!!!!
Wow that is so awesome, but not a shock at all, Noah is perfect for such an amazing calling. Lucky for him he has you. Lets just hope you don't get called as Relief Society Pres.! ;)I don't know what you are talking about with a diet, you look great! and your hair is so long and dark I LOVE it.
Wow. That is crazy. You must be doing something right. You just signed yourself up for a ton of blessings!
Whatever!!! You look great as usual!! Wow you guys sure do have a lot on your plate don't you? If anyone can do it though it's you guys. Really getting jealous that Maddy's seeing you next month and not me.:(
Wow!
Noah now has no choice but to do well in lawschool. You will be challenged but even more blessed. You guys are awesome!!!!
You will be blessed beyond comprehension! Although it will be hard to have him gone on Sundays (and other days of the week too), you will all get used to the schedule and I'm sure there will be others from your ward to help. When Brandon was 2nd counselor in our ward, I would always try and sit by people at church who I knew would help with my kids when I had to take one out. Although you don't have family nearby, the Lord will send other "angels" to bless you when you need it :) Good luck with everything!
see jill...ask and ye shall recieve! noah will do great. and you look perfect.
Very awesome. And Noah will be amazing. He is such a fun, loving, caring understanding guy. And you are such a strong support with an amazing family. You are always in our prayers and thoughts.
Why am I not surprised???!!! I wish I was in your ward! Noah will be amazing and Heavenly Father will bless your family SO much. I was talking to Jen after I was released from RS and recapping everything that had happened in our lives over the past three years all while serving as the RS Pres. She mentioned that obviously Heavenly Father knew that we would need the blessings of the calling to see us through the challenges and craziness that would ensue in our life. It's so true, though, the sweet blessings from service will see you through and the friendships you make will be lifelong! I'm so happy for your family!
As if life isn't busy or complicated enough right? You guys are an amazing family. You guys will do great! Noah is so blessed to have you (Jill) by his side, and visa versa.
I think about you guys all the time! We are all "there" for you in spirit.
Jill, thanks to your awesome example, I find myself thinking of how you treat others and how kind and serving you are, and it makes me want to pass that on to others the way you did for me.
(And I know you don't want to hear it, but you look amazing! You're hair is getting long too!)
And good luck in church. I can only imagine how hard that is going to be with Ronan ;)
Wow, that is exciting, scary, overwhelming, etc, etc. I wish you guys the best! If anyone can do it, it would be you guys. You are so awesome! And you do not need to go on a diet! You look fantastic.
Wow! What an adventure, I must say! That is wonderful, in most ways. And it does not surprise me one bit. Noah is an amazing man and you are an amazing woman right along with him! Congrats? :)
Miss you guys!
That's great!
I do love RR's waffle fries!
I was coming on to tell you how I changed my font, but look at you!! it looks great!!!
And if anyone can do this, you and your amazing family can. The ward is lucky to have you guys and him in the bishopric.
Totally started to cry reading this post. You guys rock!!
