Happy Birthday to Me

I'm officially 44. Wahoo. I celebrated my birthday week with the WORST cold and Kory caught it too. Neither of us could breathe. I think I went through a full box of Kleenex in one day. Anyway, we survived the week and headed out of town on my birthday--Friday the 13th.

We went to Salmon, ID. Looks like fishing season is in swing. We ate at Bertram's Brewery and I had some of their homemade sasparilla. After dinner we wrapped up the night watching Dateline and Forensic Files. Ha ha. We know how to party.

Saturday we drove a scenic loop, heading through Stanley, Sun Valley and Arco (the less scenic part). It was a beautiful day and a gorgeous drive. We want to go back during the summer.

We headed home through the Craters of the Moon and Arco, stopping at Pickle's Place for some deep-fried pickles. I also had a yummy black raspberry shake.

We made it back home and went out to Smitty's with friends. Kory wasn't feeling very hungry so he thought he'd just get a little German pancake.

Sunday night my mom made a birthday cake for me--my favorite homemade sour cream pound cake with lemon frosting. So good. I had a great weekend and feel very loved.

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
