Vernal Trip

Over President's Day weekend, Kory and I traveled to Vernal so Kory could do a fireside. I was also excited to see my sister Jodi's family, since she's due with a baby tomorrow! We stopped in Heber City and ate a delicious lunch at the Wasatch Back Grill. It's just off Main in Heber and the hot roast beef is incredible!

We got to Vernal and visited with my sister, then Kory and I headed for the Vernal Temple to do a session. It's such a neat temple and we had a nice session. Of course, Kory bumped into two or three people from his Vernal days. We stopped at the Chinese place to get take out and went to Grovers to eat with them.

Some friends of Jodi's who were kind of sponsoring the fireside invited us to stay at their guest house, so we took them up on it. They really spoiled us, and it was a nice getaway for Kory and I.

On Sunday, we had breakfast with the Grovers, then visited some friends, then went to church with Grovers. We also had dinner with Grovers and then went to do the fireside. It was a five stake youth fireside and they packed the chapel and gym. Kory said, "I want to thank all of my former students for dragging their kids here to hear me." Afterwards, he shook hands for almost an hour. He still has a lot of students in the area.









Monday morning we headed home. It was a fun trip and a nice getaway for our third wedding anniversary. Time flies!

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
