Roomie Reunion

This past weekend, Kory and I took a quick trip to Utah for a roommate reunion. We got down to Lehi around seven and met Bob and Wendy at Zupa's. As we were waiting in line, Kory was sitting at a table and the girl in front of me said, "Not to be weird, but is that Kory Kunz?" Turns out she and her husband worked at Melaleuca for awhile and her husband really liked Kory. She said, " My husband was just talking about Kory the other day and how much he had helped and inspired him." Yes, it's hard to go anywhere without someone knowing Kory.

After dinner, we went to Bob and Wendy's and watched some Jim Gaffigan in their awesome theatre room. We all laughed our guts out and then hit the hay. The next morning, Wendy, Kory and I went for a hike up into the hills behind her house there in The Ranches. It was great.


After the hike, we got ready and had  a blast when everyone came over for lunch, Some of the husbands were able to join us and be good sports as we reminisced about our days as roommates. 




After that Kory and I headed back home and did some laundry and shopping and got ready for our Sunday responsibilities. Always fun to get away for a little while. 

On Sunday, it was really sweet. We have a family in our ward from England who are here for work for a few years. One of their little girls is in Kory's primary class. So, she got up and bore her testimony and she said, "I have the best teacher I could ever have and I always feel the Spirit in his class." It was just so dang cute, because she was smiling right at Kory as she said it. It made me smile. 

Today Chloe came to work with me, since they don't have school today and I think she had fun.

    Wow! You roomed with a bunch of short people! Look how short you all are! Love it! David will probably feel bad that he wasn't invited since he feels like an honorary roomie!

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
