March 2020



On March 6, Kory, Chloe, and I decided to go see Phoebe in action at her job at the Olive Garden and treated ourselves to a delicious dinner. Luckily, Phoebe was able to join us because she was at the end of her shift.



On March 13, Kory and I went to dinner at the Sandpiper for my birthday, then walked for a minute along the Greenbelt. Then we went to the mall and I got myself some birthday presents. This was also the beginning of the Covid19 scare, so things were starting to shut down a little and they cancelled church that weekend. On March 14, Kory and I grabbed some pie from Broulims to celebrate Pie Day.


On March 18, we had an early birthday party for Chloe, since she would be at her mom’s on her actual birthday. We had cake and ice cream and played basketball and had a little dance party. 




Things continued shutting down over the next week, so Kory and I both started working from home a lot more. We went out to eat with Phoebe and Isaac on March 21—the only time I haven’t seen a wait at Texas Roadhouse. On the 22nd, Kory and I had our church at home and then went for a drive through Swan Valley, Driggs, Ashton, and home.



The next week was pretty mellow. The kids were at their mom’s for Spring Break. Morgan was with her Dad in Utah and got to feel the earthquake! When she got back, Phoebe treated her to a makeover and her mom got flowers for her, so she got to feel special that day. We also watched Cheaper by the Dozen on Disney Plus.




On the 30th I went back to Rexburg to pick up some stuff from my office and have a socially distant visit with my sister. Kory and I officially set up office in our home and figured out how to share our workspace. The kids had board game marathons and in general spent more time together than they have in years. I think we all kind of enjoyed wiping our calendars clean and enjoying our time together. Just to keep things exciting, Idaho had an earthquake too and we just basically decided the world was ending.

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.

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
