First Anniversary



Hard to believe it's been a year. Time flies! For our anniversary/Valentine's we took off to Utah (along with the entire state of Idaho). We stopped at the Tin Roof Grill in Sandy, which is a Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives stop--we love that show. The croquettes are truly delicious. After that we stayed at a hotel at Thanksgiving Point.

The next morning we drove down to Spanish Fork to see Jodi and Evan's new house. Kristi and Terry were there too, so we hung out for awhile. It's the perfect place for Jodi and Evan....lots of land and places for the kids to play and a really cool house.

After that we stopped in Pleasant Grove to visit with Kory's sister Jodi and her family. They are such a great family. They just got a new dog, so we got to meet the dog.

Since we were so close to all my old roomies, I sent out a quick text and was able to have lunch with Wendy and Bob and Jody and Ken. It was so much fun just to have a quick visit with these great friends.

After that we headed home, sad to end our little vacation. I don't have any pictures because my phone was being annoying. We got home in time to take pictures of Isaac and his Valentine's date.








Kory continued to humor me by watching a British mystery show--but I fell asleep before it was over.

On Sunday night Kory did a fireside for some singles in Idaho Falls. So, that was our weekend.

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.

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...
