St.George Wedding

The day after Thanksgiving, after studying the weather, Kory and I decided to make the trek down to St. George to attend the wedding of his niece Brianna. The trip down was smooth. We got there in time to join most of the family at Benja's, a great Thai place.

After hanging out at Nicole's for awhile, we stayed the night with Lori. We woke up and headed to the temple (we made it there before the bride). It was a gorgeous day in St. George. No wonder people like to spend the winter there.

Brianna and Selwyn

After the wedding, we went and picked up the food for the luncheon. We had the luncheon at Dixie High School, where Mike is an assistant principal. It was a nice place to eat and visit. There was a short video and then the parents and bride and groom spoke a little. Selwyn's background is really interesting. He grew up in Guyana, but after his grandmother who was raising them (he and his twin brother) died, they went to New Jersey to live with their father. Their father's second wife did not want them living there. They reached out to a missionary couple they had met in Guyana, and they let the twins come and live with them in St. George. That is how Brianna and he met. Pretty amazing story.

After the luncheon, we went to the St. George Children's Museum where the reception was being held. The top floor is a really great venue for receptions and etc. We all jumped in and helped decorate. It was amazing how everything came together.

Once the reception kicked off, we headed to Provo area. We heard that a snowstorm would be starting around midnight and didn't want to have to drive through it the next morning. We stayed at Halli's house. Eventually three other families decided to head home too, so we had a houseful.

We woke up and went to church at Halli's ward. I was surprised to see that my cousin Maralee Henderson was in her ward. We had a quick visit and it was fun to see her.

So, it was quick trip, but we're super glad that we made it.

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...
