Happy Valeversary


So one thing I've learned as a step-mom is that Valentine's Day involves making Valentine Boxes and that it's very important that they are cute and awesome and etc. So usually I don't have to be involved with it, but because the kids were with us on Valentine's Day, it became a worry. Chloe found this Pinterest post of a hot air balloon Valentine box, so we went and bought the stuff and, fortunately, her mom helped her put it together. Unfortunately, one of her friends did the same thing and hers was cuter and won the awards. Fortunately, this is our last year in elementary school and we don't have to worry about it anymore. 



Our anniversary falls on the day after Valentine's Day, hence the term "valeversary." It was funny because I was so busy getting the kids Valentine's stuff for class valentines and etc that I totally forgot I was supposed to get something for Kory. I told him I was single so long I really totally ignored Valentine's Day and I kind of forget that I actually have a Valentine now. So, on Valentine's Day Kory called me down the kitchen and he had "You Light Up My Life" playing on the computer and had lit up our box of Life cereal. Oh my goodness I laughed so hard!

For dinner, we wanted to avoid all of the crowds, so we went to this cheese-steak place and we were literally the only ones in the place. We found this corner next do a digital fireplace and had our romantic meal...until the owner's dog came over in the corner and pooped on the floor. Just added the finishing touches to our day. Ha ha! The day after Valentine's Day is our anniversary and this year is our fourth anniversary. We were really busy all day, so I only saw Kory at around 7:00 p.m. when he had me come into his religion class at BYUI and gave me a dozen roses and then we had dinner at Millhollow. Then we headed off to conduct Institute Choir. So.....lots of romance on that day. :)







But seriously, it's been an amazing four years and I love him more than ever. He is so kind, thoughtful, hilarious, and sweet. He gives me foot rubs, warms up my rice bag every night when I'm cold,  goes on drives and road trips with me, makes every Sunday dinner, makes me laugh so hard with his hilariousness and is truly such a good-hearted man. I couldn't be happier and I'm so grateful we found each other.

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...

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.

January/February 2023

  January 2023 On January 3 we helped Caleb move back into his apartment on campus and took Phoebe to Fuji for her birthday dinner. On the 7 th , we went to Austin and Leah’s and had some delicious Olive Garden takeout and watched some of Matilda the Musical. On January 12, we went through the Rexburg temple with my niece Maddie. On January 14 th , I went to a baby shower for my niece Kami. She is the first grandchild to have a baby, so this will be my parents first great-grandchild. On the 27 th , we had a new addition to our household. That afternoon, Phoebe asked me if there was any way we could consider getting another cat. Her friend had to move and wouldn’t be able to take the cat to the new location. For some reason, I agreed, and she picked him up that afternoon. He’s an orange cat, and was originally named Scar, but our girls named him Todd after the Fox and the Hound . Binx was NOT happy at the new family member. He hissed and growled at Todd, who didn’t seem overly c...
