November 2021
On November 7 we had a birthday party for Morgy-Girl. She
just turned the big 13! She wanted doughnuts instead of cake, so we got her a
giant doughnut and the rest of us normal-sized doughnuts. When I asked her what
she wanted for her birthday, she said “A crap-ton of Takis.” So, we bought her
a bunch of Takis and she promptly made a salad and crumbled takis on the top.
So, there you go.
On November 9, we went to see Caleb perform in the school play, “The Crucible.” He played Giles Corey and he was made to look like an old man. He did a great job with his lines and everyone in the cast did a great job.
From November 10-15, we got to babysit Aidan while his parents were on
their honeymoon. It was a big chance to have a little toddler around, but we
had so much fun with him. He’s a very chill baby and luckily Kory is great with
kids!
The next week we all sort of took turns getting sick. I was
so sick, I pretty much stayed home for the week and did my classes on Zoom. I
had to cancel class one day, because I had no voice. It was not fun!
On November 20, Kory and I headed down to St. George. We listened to tunes and had some In n Out on the way down. We stayed at his sister Nicole’s house, and she was a great hostess. Kory’s dad and sister’s families came over later for some pizza and football. On Sunday, we got up and went for a walk in the beautiful weather, then went to church with Nicole. We got to substitute in Primary with her, which is my normal calling. After church we went to Swig after hours and got some drinks (perks of being with the owner)!
We had Sunday dinner with all the relatives and then we went over to
Dixie State’s institute to set up for our fireside. Kory and I did a fireside
for the young single adult stake that Lori is Relief Society President for, and
they had a great turnout, especially for a holiday weekend.
On Monday, we got up and went for a bike ride on the Mayor’s
Loop down by the river. It was beautiful but a little chilly first thing in the
morning. Afterward we got some hot chocolate and bought some gloves for our
future bike rides. I worked online for the rest of the day while Kory read and
hung out. We watched some football and visited with some of Nicole’s kids who
were passing through on their way to Arizona.
On Tuesday, Kory went golfing with his dad, and I worked
online and taught some classes on Zoom. Later that afternoon, we went for
another bike ride further south on the Virgin River trail. It was so sunny,
peaceful, and nice. We loved it! We got back and went out to dinner with Nicole
to this great Peruvian place called Viva Chicken. It was delicious! Then we met
LaRell and Karen for a concert at Dixie State. It was the Sharpe Family
singers, which is a family where the dad and mom met as leads in Les Mis and
now their kids are great singers as well. They did so many great Broadway
numbers and were amazingly talented. We loved it!
On Wednesday, Kory and I biked a route near Pioneer Park in
St. George. I couldn’t tell from the map that it was straight uphill, so I
almost died. After that, we went and had some lunch at Iceberg and then went
for a drive down through Veyo and Snow Canyon. That night we went to the Bair’s
to watch the Jazz game and have some pizza.
On Thursday, we got up and went back to Pioneer Park to
climb around on the red rock—I was too exhausted from the bike ride the day
before. There were a lot of visitors there. We helped Nicole get ready for the
Thanksgiving meal and family started arriving around 1:00. We had a great feast
at 4:00 and visited and watched football the rest of the day.
On Friday, Kory and I just headed home as soon as we woke
up. The roads were pretty empty and the weather was great. We stopped in at
Dave and Kelley’s for a bathroom and some delicious pie. We got home in the
early afternoon and the kids got back from their moms soon after.
On Saturday, we put up the Christmas decorations and then
Kory, me, Phoebe, and Caleb went to the movie Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
On Monday, November 29, a bunch of us went to Greg’s indoor soccer
match. It’s fun to watch him play. Unfortunately, we sprained his foot pretty
bad—we thought it was broken! So that cut the match a little short!
