My Last Day of Singlehood

Well, tomorrow is the big day. I feel that I should say something profound....but I can't think of anything. The last few weeks have been full of wedding stuff. I can hardly even remember what we did. One of the most exciting things is that Madison got her mission call to Utica New York and went through the temple. That means she will be able to be at our sealing tomorrow. In fact, on Wednesday me, Kory, and her went through a session at the Rexburg Temple. It was great. I've been doing all the pre-bride stuff: teeth whitened, hair colored/trimmed, toes and nails done, etc. In fact, yesterday I spent four hours at the spa doing some pretty awesome treatments. First I did a facial, which was heavenly. My face has probably never been that clean in my life. After that I did a body polish which was totally new. So, you lay down on this massage table and they scrub you down with a mixture of sugar and oils. Apparently sugar is a great exfoliant. Then they lowered this steam tent over my body and steamed me for about ten minutes while I got a scalp massage. Then I showered all the sticky stuff off me and then they slathered me with body butter. I felt like a giant doughnut. After that I got a full body massage and then a manicure and a pedicure. My friend Paula joined me for the pedicure and then we ate out at Applebee's. It was a lovely, relaxing afternoon. Yes, I know how to spoil myself. So, tomorrow is the big day and I can't wait. Last week I was very freaked out and worried about all the big changes, but I worked through it and now I'm just excited. After the wedding we are heading to West Yellowstone for a few days. Booked a snowcoach tour and everything. It will be fun!

    I'm sooo excited for you. Marriage is really, really fun! Have I told you already that we live in the Utica mission. I hope Madison is in our ward- we have the sisters over for pizza almost every Friday. She will love her mission president (Elder Wirthlin's son)- he's a hoot. Love you. Have fun!!!!

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
