November 2022

On November 7, we gathered to celebrate Morgan’s 14th birthday. 



On the 12th, Kory and I went to the baptism of Hazel, my sister’s daughter. We gave her a cute little unicorn because she loves stuffed animals. 



On the 13th, we put up our Christmas decorations because I was going to have chemo the following week and wouldn’t feel up to it. We had to adjust a little to decorating a new home—some of the decorations don’t fit any more!



On the 16th, I found out that my niece Ainsley had been hit by a car while riding her moped. To make matters more complicated, she has been living and working in Hawaii! So, I woke up to about 30 text messages and was so scared for her. She wasn’t wearing a helmet, but miraculously she’s doing okay. Kristi needed to go over to be with her, so I drove her down to Salt Lake on Wednesday night so that she could catch a super early flight. The next morning, I had a quick breakfast with some of my old roommates. It was so fun to visit with them! I have been blessed to know such great women in my life.



I was supposed to get chemo on the 22nd, but when I went in my platelet count was too low, so they couldn’t treat me. On the 24th, we hosted Thanksgiving at our house. All our kids were there except Austin and Leah were with the Wrights. We had fun cooking, eating, watching football, visiting, etc.





By the 28th, my platelets were back up, so I went in for my 8th of 12 chemo treatments. Everything went fine, but that night I got the flu! Chemo and flu are not a good combination. I went back on Thursday to get my chemo pump unhooked and they prescribed some Tamiflu and reminded me to go to the ER if I got a high fever, because I guess fevers are extra dangerous for chemo patients. Anyway, the whole week was a little rough, but we survived. Kory has been the best support ever. I love him so much!

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
