New York Day 2

New York was having a huge heat wave on the first half of our trip and I thought I was in some version of hell. Walking down into the subway was like a steam bath. Luckily the cars are air conditioned even if the stations aren't.

We started the day at Amy's Bakery, around the corner from our apartment. Yummm. We tried the famous black and white cookies. Which aren't that good. But everything else was delish.



We started by seeing the the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Then we took a peek at the Columbia campus and then walked through Harlem looking at some historical sites.







We stopped and ate at a Joe's Crab Shack--- I know that doesn't seem super New Yorky, but we were so hot we needed a place to sit in air conditioning and rest our feet. After that we went to the New York library. They were having a cool exhibit on children's literature, so I had a nice time looking through that and then I headed home to rest. 



Our first play was the Tony Winner A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder. It was hysterical. There were a couple of crude bits, but the rest of it was gut-splitting. It's so awesome to watch such talented actors. One guy played about six parts and I think he was nominated for best actor.

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.

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...

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...
