Cory met Alex at BYU when he was working on his Master's. They hit it off pretty quickly and began studying together. One of the reasons we went to LA after grad school was because Alex had already accepted a job and kind of talked Cory into interviewing there. We never would have considered going to LA without his influence - but Alex being there made it more appealing. Cory loved his work experience in LA, especially seeing Alex every single day - and we have many fond memories of that time in our lives. In fact, when they were having thier first child Alex called Cory in the middle of the night saying that he forgot his movie camera, but couldn't leave the hospital - so Cory ran up there with ours so that Alex wouldn't miss recording his daughter's birth. We have missed being able to see he and Lori regularly. This picture was taken at an Arthur Andersen Christmas party.
10 years ago we took a trip to Paris together and had a blast. It was a little chilly - but we saw beautiful things and ate beautiful food with people that we really enjoy being around - so again we made some awesome memories together. We have said since that time that we need to take another trip together. In fact we had a trip to Spain planned but then 9/11 happened and there was a travel advisory and we didn't get to go. We have tentatively scheduled a planning session when we see them next month while we are visiting my brother for Thanksgiving in LA (where Alex and Lori still live).
This was taken in LA when Cory was in town for something or other - they got together (without me) for dinner. Cory will always go out of his way to spend any time with Alex that he can.
Earlier this month Cory ran the St. George marathon for the 4th consecutive year. But while we were there we got to visit with Alex (who also ran) and Lori for awhile. This was taken just a few hours after the marathon. Cory pointed out that it was Alex who talked him into running 5 or so years ago.
Alex took this picture being funny - so of course Cory is trying to be serious. What would our lives be like without the joy, influence and comfort of good friends?
