Brigham City

It felt about time for another one of our get-aways, so we headed to Brigham City after work on Friday. We got there, checked in to our hotel, and went to Maddox for dinner. We split a steak and shrimp, although Kory likes his steak bleeding, so in the end, I mostly ate the shrimp and he mostly ate the steak. We also loved the rolls and honeybutter, home-made ice cream and coconut cream pie.





The next morning, we decided to visit the Brigham City temple. Kory forgot his clothes, and then I misread how often they did sessions, so we ended up doing initiatory, which was great. I got done before Kory, so I was sitting in the waiting room for about an hour, wondering where the heck he was. Finally, I got up and looked around the corner, and he had been sitting on a chair out there for about half an hour.  


We went back to the hotel and had breakfast, then drove home through beautiful Cache Valley. Always brings back such great memories of Utah State days. We drove by North Cache where I did my student teaching. So fun.

When we got home, I kept on partying, and went to Riverdance with my mom. After that dad and Kory met us at Red Robin for an early dinner. Then I shopped for awhile and Kory and I went to see The Martian, which was great. So, yes, I treated myself this weekend and did nothing but play. It was worth it!

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...
