It's a Wrap

Well, 2015, it was nice knowin' ya. We wrapped up our holiday break with a couple of fun things. We went to dinner with Kory's brothers and their wives. We ate at Fuji's and then had pie back at the house. Always fun to catch up with the family.



On New Year's the kids were with their mom, so we just ate and went to a movie and were in bed pretty early. The next day we took off in the morning for Salt Lake. We had a late breakfast/lunch at The Blue Plate Diner, then we checked into our hotel. Kory watched some football and we sat in the hot tub. 

That night we headed down to Temple Square to enjoy the lights. We had to make a run to Kneaders for a steamer and some soup. We visited both visitor's centers and had a good time. The crowds weren't bad at all. 






The next morning, we ate breakfast at Kneaders (cinammon French toast, ,,,,,). Then we went to the Church History Museum and we really enjoyed the new exhibit on church history. Some really interesting additions and an awesome new movie of the First Vision. 

After that we headed home and back to life and responsibility. It was nice to get away for a little while. Bring on 2016!

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
