April 2019






We started out April with General Conference. Everyone was anticipating some big announcements—aka getting rid of the Word of Wisdom, girl’s going on missions at 18—but it was just normal, great gospel stuff. Kory and I did not have the kids, so we were able to pay close attention to each of the sessions. Kory took Caleb to the priesthood session and then we went to Freddy’s to eat.


The kids were busy with track meets and practices in April. I took off to Norway for nine days, leaving Kory to hold down the fort. When I got back, the next semester started the next day and I dove back into teaching. On the 27-28, Kory and I went to a seminary teacher meeting in Jackson Hole. They had a dinner on Friday night and then workshops on Saturday. It was a fun, quick getaway.

On April 29th we took a bunch of the kids to Avengers Endgame. It’s not really Kory’s cup of tea, but everyone else enjoyed it. On the 30th, Morgan hosted Activity Days at our house. They were originally going to go ride scooters around the green belt, but it was too cold, so she led them in yoga and had healthy treats afterward.

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...
