Three Times a Bridesmaid, Never A Bride....

So, this really miraculous thing has been happening in the past year. All of the old-maid types like me have been getting married. I'm not sure why this is the magic year, but I've had four or five great friends get married. A couple of weeks ago I went down to Utah to go to the wedding of Brenda, one of my best friends.

I stayed the night with Wendy, another old roommate, then went to the Timp Temple for the sealing. Brenda was beaming and so happy. After the temple, Wendy and I took our friend, Annie, to lunch at Zupa's. I wish we had one of those in Idaho. It was kind of funny, because I was, of course, talking all about Kory while we were in line, and I looked up and there were these two people pointing at me. It was Kory's sister Jodi and her husband. What a coincidence. :)

After that I headed to Provo and went to my Aunt Linda's house. We visited for awhile and then went to dinner at Molly's, this really great little cafe near her house. After that I went to Brenda's reception, which was outdoor in this family's backyard/park. It was beautiful. I had so much fun visiting with old friends the whole time. Plus my siblings Jodi and David came. It was a great evening.

I spent the night with Jodi. Some of her kids were doing a sleepover at Aunt Linda's, so we only had two kids the next morning, which felt like a walk in the park. We took the girls to Kneader's for French toast the next morning and then I headed home. Jodi and Evan are contemplating a move back to Idaho, which would make me muy happy.

Pie Face

Chloe had her tenth birthday and she asked for the game Pie Face. Yep, you've seen it. The one where everyone takes turns getting whipped cream in the face. Here are some precious moments. Chloe also got a little fort-making kit for her birthday, so we've had these structures in the family room for a few weeks now.

Kory's Story

I just wanted to record this for our family history. When Kory and I were engaged, we went to Salt Lake to talk with someone at CES to see about re-applying to teach seminary. At the time, they indicated that he could re-apply, but they didn't seem positive about the likelihood of him getting re-hired. At that time, we decided not to pursue teaching again. Later that year, CES announced that there was no longer any block on people who had been divorced teaching seminary. Again, we talked with some people, but still felt that the chances of him getting hired were not good, because he would not be able to move if necessary, which is usually the case with new hires. In Fall of 2015, Kory had a strong impression to check with the pre-service director and see what he would need to do to try teaching again. We still knew that the chances were not great, but he felt that he should pursue it. He began attending the class for pre-service seminary teachers, and was assigned to student te...

April 2023

April 2023 On April 1 and 2 we chilled and watched General Conference. On the first, we got a new cat to replace Todd. This cat’s name is Taco, she is a girl, and she’s a tortoiseshell calico. She and Binx have taken quite a while to warm up to each other, but I think we’ll get there. She is cuddly like Todd, so we all like that. On April 4 I watched Season 3 of The Mandalorian with my dad. On the 5 th , Kory and I took Austin and Leah to the Bee’s Knees for a birthday dinner. They have really great food there and it was fun to visit. On April 6, we had BYUI Graduation. It was fun to be there, since I’ve missed the past year due to my cancer. On the 7 th , Kory, me, and Caleb babysat for Austin and Leah. It was fun putting the kids to bed and singing with them. Stevie loves the song “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” so we sang that a bunch. On April 8, Kory and I went on a little date. We drove up to Driggs and had dinner at O’ Rourkes and then stopped and visited with m...
