I haven’t been posting much for quite some time, and it’s time to explain why. Last year I moved to Washington, DC, where I met a fabulous man who is active in the Church and whom I love dearly. But things are a bit tricky because it’s a polygamous marriage. My bishop knows and approves; things are a bit more liberal here in DC. Actually, he is the brother-in-law of one of my sister wives. Small world, eh?
And this brings me to why I’ve not posted much: sister wives take up a lot of time! We don’t all live together (that would be annoying), but we do live in neighboring townhouses. It’s great having these wonderful friends, and it’s great having all these “nieces” and “nephews” to help out with and love. But it takes a lot of time to keep the relationships strong. I know, I should focus more on the relationship with my husband, but between us all (he has 6 wives altogether), I don’t see him as much as I’d hope. But I must not be greedy. Anyway, I really like my sister wives, and I want a good relationship with them, which means time must be invested in visiting and whatnot. We even have our own book club, which is just fabulous. We get together once a week for a big family dinner at rotating homes, there’s the regular school plays and other activities to attend to, and then of course there’s the regular church duties of callings and meetings. Since we all try to be involved with each others activities as much as practical, it adds up to a lot of time.
So that’s why I haven’t been posting much. The days are short and the to-do list is long. But polygamy is great. I can’t wait until the entire Church embraces it again and you all can experience this wonderful doctrine.
