Golfing in the Garden of Eden

So, I was on the phone with Kory the other day and he said, "What if your favorite author had a new book out and you could read the book OR read the book holding hands with me." Of course I took option B. Of course, that was Kory's lead in to asking me to come walk the golf course with him. So he can be in what he calls the Garden of Eden AKA the golf course, and have the pleasure of my company. I told him the book/golf analogy didn't totally work.

 I was actually happy to join him and it was a perfect, crisp fall evening. I could golf if I wanted to, but I actually really just enjoy walking--always have. So, I just played caddy and gave him kisses when he got really good hits--and even if they weren't that good. :)






It's actually fun to watch Kory do something he is super passionate about. Golf makes him super happy. And I think it's good therapy for him, so I'm all for it. We also had a fun weekend. On Saturday we, as Kory would say, "went shopping for expensive jewelry." Later we went to dinner with friends and then watched some tv.

On Sunday I headed down to Utah with him to do a fireside. I downloaded this book on my Kindle called 300 Questions LDS Couples Should Ask Before Getting Married. It made for some interesting discussion and we really grilled each other. Actually, we had talked about most of the issues already, so I guess we get an A+ for that.

We stopped in Layton and had dinner with Dave and Kelley...and allowed Kory to sample Kelley's amazing cooking abilities. Then we went to Bountiful and Kory gave a fireside for a stake there. Dave and Kelley came and Wendy and Bob drove up from Lehi with their boys. I'm lucky to have such great friends and family. Kory did an awesome job and we had a great ride home. Just love this man so much!

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.

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 my parents on t

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
