The Week 'n Stuff

This has been a fairly crazy week. On the wedding front, I was trying to get out invitations, which has been the most difficult aspect of wedding planning. Between the two of us, we know a lot of people, and I'm sure I've forgotten many who I should have sent one to. But I did have some help in the various stuffing, sealing, stamping stages of the endeavor.





On Monday, I took some of my nieces to meet Kory and his kids at Starlite Skating in IF. I didn't feel like skating aka falling down, so I just watched, but everyone else had a blast. Kory's a good skater.


After skating we went to Taco Bell and then to the house to watch some Mormon Messages and have a prayer. Kristi has had Jodi's kids with her for the week, since Jodi was spending a lot of time at the hospital. Luckily, Jodi was able to bring Creed home and he appears to be doing well. They will meet with a neurologist soon to figure out what to do about the water on the brain.

The day after skating I got sick....AGAIN. I am feeling a little bugged about this, since it's the fourth time I've been sick since Thanksgiving. I don't know what's going on with me--stress, exposure to lots more germs, who knows, but it's been a real pain. I missed school on Thursday because my sore throat was so painful. I couldn't imagine lecturing. I still went to a bridal shower that night, because it was already scheduled. This one was thrown by my friend Andrea, who teaches History on campus. It was all people from work and we had a good time doing trivia games about British TV shows and literary adaptations. The food was incredible.

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
