New York Day 7

Monday we made it up the Empire State Building and had a great view!
















After that we went on a tour of Rockefeller Center and went to the top of that building too for more fun views of the city. The tour guide there was one of the best I've ever had--just so dang funny but knew his stuff. He told us all about the architecture of the buildings but we learned a lot about the Rockefellers and history and stuff too.









 The rest of the afternoon was pretty much taken up getting into the Jimmy Fallon Show. Lots of waiting in line. We were laughing when we realized that they had separated people into lines based on age. The people in front of us, about our age, turned around and said, "We're in the OLD line!" We noticed they put the young people on the aisles and the front. He he.

It was fun to see how they put together a show. All the cameras and stuff. Jimmy Fallon sat and joked around with the crowd during the breaks. He's such a charismatic person. Fun to watch. I didn't really know any of the guests, but it was pretty entertaining. Fun thing to do. I don't have any pictures because you aren't allowed to take any.



After that we caught a boat and went on a Harbor Lights tour and watched the sun set on the New York skyline. It was a couple of hours and nice to relax and enjoy the view.

On the way home we stopped and ate at a little Italian place then headed home.

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...
