Mini-Honeymoon

Well, there will be many marriage photos to come, but I'm going to skip ahead a little. After the reception, Kory and I got in my car and went to my house to pack. That took awhile since I was exhausted and wanted to sit down and rest. Then we went to the car wash to get the decorations off the car. Then we went to Maverick to get gas. Then we stopped at the Wendy's drive-in because we were both starving. We headed toward West Yellowstone and got as far as Ashton and they told us the road was closed because a semi had jack-knifed. They said we were welcome to wait...it would only be around an hour and a half. No thanks. We headed back to my house.

 The next morning we repacked and headed toward West Yellowstone, stopping in Ashton to go to church. When we came out there was a full-scale blizzard going on. I texted my dad and said "Driving through major blizzard now. Didn't think the opposition would start so early in our marriage." We made it to our awesome condo, provided by my friend Wendy, and we settled in. We decided to take a drive to Big Sky....gorgeous drive. We found a great little bakery and had some awesome pizza.



The next day we went on a snowcoach tour through the park. We stopped at the Paint Pots and Old Faithful (ate lunch there). We were traveling with some very nice people. I told Kory, "I knew it would only take you about five minutes before you were best friends with everyone in the coach." The tour took all day and we both kind of had a headache by the end from all the jostling.















Kory went to get some food for us and we ended up with McDonalds since everything else was closed. The next morning we left pretty early. I tried to make some pancakes, since the front desk had left us some complimentary pancake and syrup because we were honeymooning. Turns out the batter was actually muffin mix, so they didn't turn out too well. I gave up and made French toast instead.



After that, we headed back to reality....:)

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...

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...
