Update with No Pictures

Well, I want to report on the last couple of weeks, but I didn't bother to take any pictures, so it will be a little boring. Our anniversary was February 15, but we had the kids all weekend, and Kory was at the golf thing with his brothers, so we celebrated the following weekend.

On February 17 I went to BYUI's production of Antigone. Occasionally I teach a Drama class, where we study plays and this happens to be one of those semesters. I had the class read the version of Antigone that BYUI is producing and had Richard Clifford, the director, come and talk to the class for a Q&A. In addition, three of my students are in the production. So, it was really fun to go see it. They set it in a futuristic, dystopian Greece, and it made it really interesting. Really enjoyed it.

On February 18, my friends Wendy and Bob stopped by Rexburg on their way to spend a few days in West Yellowstone, so we met for lunch at Applebee's and chatted. Always great to see them.

On February 19, Kory and I met up after work and drove to Twin Falls. After checking into the hotel, we found a local restaurant and ate some good food. By the time we got back to the hotel, it was pretty much time for bed, so we watched a little TV and called it a day.

On February 20, we got up early and checked out and headed to the Twin Falls temple. The session was nice and it was fun to see their temple. Pretty similar to Rexburg. We got home and did a few errands and then went to see Race, a movie about Jesse Owens. Really enjoyed it. After that,  we went to Texas Roadhouse and happened to bump into Josh and Kasey, so we ate with them and then headed home. So, that was a nice anniversary weekend.

This week has just been busy with the usual stuff. Things always get busier the closer you get to the end of the semester. I'll hang in there.

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
