Father of the Groom

This weekend was Kory's son Austin's wedding. So, I'm going to post a few pics and give a rundown. On Thursday night we had a dinner at Johnny Careno's for the immediate family of the bride and groom. The food was delicious and everyone shared memories of the bride and groom. I was impressed that they were such diligent students. I picked Leah up from class around 5:00 and Austin stayed for his class which when to 5:45. I was thinking they might take the day off, but they are devoted students.

Friday morning we arrived at the Idaho Falls Temple for the sealing. It was fun to see all of Kory's family there. The ceremony was great and the sealer had some wonderful insights. Afterwards they did pictures outside. These are some from my phone. It was a little cold, so the girls were trying to get warm with Kory's coat.

We had a big break until the reception, so Kory and I walked all over Idaho Falls in search of some bedding for our new bed. We bought something at Bed, Bath, and Beyond and came home to try it out. Then Phoebe tried to asphyxiate herself in the bag.

A lot of the reception was done by Leah's mom and sister-in-law. The flowers were so gorgeous I asked her to do mine.

There was a hot chocolate bar, soup bar, breadsticks, and brownie bites.

So, a good time was had by all. Austin and Leah are a great couple and I couldn't be happier for them. It's fun having them up here at BYUI so I can hang out with them a little bit.

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
