Busy Weekend

On November 4 we went and heard Isaac sing with the Men's Choir in their fall concert. It was awesome.

The next morning was Morgan's birthday, so we gave her her present--a lap-desk from Barnes and Noble--she's obsessed with playing office. Then we took her to Kneaders for some French toast and got her all sugared up and miserable. Then we dropped her off at her mom's.






We drove to Utah and decided to stop by Dave and Kelley's, which was good, because it happened to be Josh's baptismal day. We missed the baptism, but got to visit with mom, dad, and Jodi's family, in addition to Dave and Kelley. The kids were entertaining themselves with some face paint.





After that, we drove around a little and did some shopping. Then we met some of my old roomies for dinner at Los Cucos on 106th. Good food and so fun to hang out and catch up.





Finally, we went to Jenie Skoy's wedding reception downtown in Salt Lake. It was a fun, joyful gathering and there was some good musical entertainment to boot. Glad Jenie found such a nice guy. After the reception, we headed back home and made it home before midnight.








To finish off the weekend, I introduced Kory to Pride and Prejudice. The first half we had to pause every few minutes and explain what they were talking about. After the halfway mark, he was with me. We watched the two hour version... I don't think he's ready for the Colin Firth version just yet.

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.

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...
