The Week

This page of notes from my PhD class pretty much sums up where my mind has been lately. Can't wait for this semester to be over, because I will be done with PhD classes--not my PhD. But no more homework. No more 2 1/2 hour classes on incredibly hard chairs. Sigh.

I've also been thinking about things like this:





Last weekend was fun. On Friday night, we went to dinner with friends. On Saturday, Kory came to stake conference with me. Since he's so busy with his ward, I haven't had a chance to introduce him to any of my Sugar City people. It was fun to have him there. We sat with my parents and later went to Dairy Queen, along with most of the rest of the stake. :)

On Sunday we went to the Anderson's and Kory and his kids came too. The kids were busy doing a spook alley in the basement. Here's  Sam as Quasimodo:

 
On Monday I went to work and turned around and came home immediately because I was having severe stomach pain. I think it was some form of stomach flu, but I didn't throw up. I just felt like someone was stabbing me in the stomach every five minutes. That lasted for about seven hours and then I just felt achy and icky. Luckily I felt fine the next day. Kory also got a bad cold on Tuesday and has been sick all week. 

On Tuesday I went to a fireside with Kory. It was fun to meet a lot of his old students and their families. People sure do love him and want him to teach seminary again.

Friday night we just hung out at the house and watched movies with the kids. For some reason I was laughing pretty hard in Monsters vs. Aliens.

Saturday I mostly went to work, but I took a break to go see Abby and Maddie play a basketball game against each other. All of the cousins had fun playing on the sidelines. Here's Eli holding Pace:



Last night we went to see Kory's aunt who is ill, then we visited with some other friends and I met Mackenzie, his oldest daughter, and her husband for the first time. Then we took five of the kids to dinner at Red Robin. Very crowded at 7:00 on a Saturday night, just in case you were wondering.

It was so funny to meet a couple of Kory's aunts, because they did the usual "We are so happy to meet you" thing, followed by, "and if you ever do anything to hurt him, we will hunt you down." I thought it was pretty adorable and I assured them I like him just as much as they do and have no intention of hurting him. I love loyal friends. Someone came up to my aunt in the temple and asked if she was related to me. Then they said, "Tell us about Suzette. Because we really like Kory and he deserves an amazing person." Sheesh, I'm really getting raked over the coals here! Hope I pass inspection.

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...

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.

January/February 2023

  January 2023 On January 3 we helped Caleb move back into his apartment on campus and took Phoebe to Fuji for her birthday dinner. On the 7 th , we went to Austin and Leah’s and had some delicious Olive Garden takeout and watched some of Matilda the Musical. On January 12, we went through the Rexburg temple with my niece Maddie. On January 14 th , I went to a baby shower for my niece Kami. She is the first grandchild to have a baby, so this will be my parents first great-grandchild. On the 27 th , we had a new addition to our household. That afternoon, Phoebe asked me if there was any way we could consider getting another cat. Her friend had to move and wouldn’t be able to take the cat to the new location. For some reason, I agreed, and she picked him up that afternoon. He’s an orange cat, and was originally named Scar, but our girls named him Todd after the Fox and the Hound . Binx was NOT happy at the new family member. He hissed and growled at Todd, who didn’t seem overly c...
