Brother Spencer, Bishop Kerby, Brother NormanToday I lost my husband...To the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!!! Chad was set apart as the bishop of our ward. We have known for a while now but had to keep it hush hush. We belong to what I think is the best ward ever, we really love our neighbors and our ward members. This ward reminds me alot of the Lyn Rae ward I grew up in, in AZ. We have a ton of youth (over 100) and a large primary as well. The people are really good, kind members of our church. I am grateful to have a husband who is willing and able to serve in this capacity. I love Chad and am happy to be his wife. People keep asking me how I feel about it and my answer to them is "I am so excited for the blessings, everyone prays for the Bishopbric and their families, I can't wait for those prayers!" My kids have mixed emotions, some believe that they will never see him again and then others are so excited for this. Kalli said that she already told a boy that if he doesn't leave her alone she will talk to the Bishop about him! (good ole Kalli)
Needless to say this past week has been by far one of the craziest we have had at our home.

Ah, Cassie, I was a young Bishop's wife too (back in the American Fork days before AZ). It was a great time. I look back on it and wonder how we did it with all of our little kids (he also traveled almost every week with his job) but it was a good, good time of our lives. Congratulations.
P.S. {Don't let them call you the "mother of the ward." You are the "first lady."} :)
Hi Cassie! It's Cindy (Eaves) Lawlor...how are you? Oh dumb question! I guess I will ask you in a few months after the newness of Bishop wears off! Wow, what a great opportunity for you, your husband, and your family! You will be a great Bishops wife, as I feel like they are just as needed by the ward members. Good luck and keep in touch ok??
Ok so I read some more of your past posts and oh my! You are busy! What a cool experience with Rachel Ray, I hope you go to New York. I can't wait to find out the things you've done to embarass your kids ha ha!!
What a neat experience! Your family will be blessed indeed for the sacrifice made. You have a cute house, I like the lettering on the walls.
WOW...Girl you like to have an exciting life...don't you???? Oh my goodness how special is this???? This is so much cooler than being on any ol' Rachel Ray T.V. Show...JK...You both are so awesome and they chose right...you have so much to offer to a ward and what a great support you will be for Chad...Love ♥ Sister Bish...
Chad will be a wonderful Bishop. Your ward is so blessed. I know I would love a Bishop like him for my kids. Hope you are doing good. You have a lot on your plate. Take care of your self.
Hi Chad and Cassie! Wow! Chad will do well and so will you!
That is great, I know Chad will do an awesome job and you will be a great bishops wife. I don envy you David has been in the bishopric for a year and a half now. It gets crazy especially dealing with all the kiddos on Sunday by yourself. But the blessings out weight the craziness.
How great for you guys! Mike's the 1st Counselor in our ward's Bishopric & yes, the blessings are plenty. It's been an amazing experience for our whole family & we know it will be for you too!!
Oh my goodness! No kidding! What a busy place your house must be. Chad will be a great bishop! Enjoy the ride!
oh wow! the filming does sound exhausting! and now on to having the bishop as a husband. wow. wow. wow.
i'm excited for your blessings too. :)
i agree that the ward is lucky to have both of you.
my condolences!!
