February 2022

 

February 2022

On February 4, Kory and I went to dinner with the Rowe’s and then went to Madison’s boys’ basketball game. I ended up sitting with my sister, Kristi, most of the time. It was fun to watch Ainsley cheer and it also happened to be Senior night. 

The next day, Kory and I went to Lava Hot Springs on the same day as this yearly Fire and Ice Festival, so it was way more crowded than usual, but still felt nice. On February 8, Kory took all the kids at home to Texas Roadhouse. Isaac was their server and Madi came and joined them for dinner. I was watching Ainsley’s cheer showcase as she prepared for State Cheer. 


On Saturday, Kory and I went to the movie Death on the Nile. On February 10, I went with some of my family members to the Rexburg Temple to go through with Abby. She leaves on her mission to Nashville, TN in April. On February 11, Kory and I went to a Skyline Boys’ Basketball game. I ended up chatting with our neighbor Heidi Marlow for most of the game, so it was fun! On February 13, we and some of our kids went to Josh and Kasey’s to watch the Superbowl and eat lots of yummy food. I don’t think anyone was super invested in either team, so it was pretty chill. 

Kory and I had our 8th Anniversary on February 15, but we didn’t really celebrate because we were busy. On Friday, the 18th, Kory drove me to Heise Hot Springs to let me soak in the hot pool. He hates the smell there, so he sat in the car and read while I soaked for an hour. (He would have come in if I wanted him to, but I don’t like to torture him.)  I ended up surrounded by all these ice-fishermen and it was quite an experience. The next day, I finally got motivated and started working on painting the piano room. That’s a project that has been on hold for about six months! On February 24, Kory and I went to Caleb’s play, “Secondary Cause of Death.” He did a great job. At first, he didn’t get a part, but then someone dropped out, so he ended having one of the biggest parts in the play—and only had four weeks to learn his lines. He played two different characters, one of which had a British accent. I was quite impressed with how he did. 

On the 26th, Kory watched Aiden so Kenzie and Greg could go to the play along with Lynette, Austin, Isaac, Phoebe, and Chloe. I was glad that Caleb had so much great support! February was—like January—another hard month financially and healthwise, so we are pretty excited to push forward into some warmer weather and (hopefully) no more car problems!

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
