All about me

Well, I decided to really try this thing out! What fun it is to see everyone on the web! Well, life has been so much fun so far. Kody and I met while we were on our missions in Alabama. He was my district leader(and no it wasn't like what you think). We did our mission thing and didn't think much of each other. After we both came home a bunch of mission buddies wanted to get together. They put me in charge(for some reason) and I tried to get as many people together as I could. The plan was for everyone to meet at a bowling alley in Salt Lake, but it was a blizzard and not very many people showed up(including Kody). It didn't hurt me much and I didn't think much about it until I got a letter from him a few weeks later. He said he was sorry for not coming and had lost my phone number so he couldn't call me. So we tried again to hang out. That was January of 2004. By April we were engaged and married on August 5th, 2004. When we were moving into our apartment we came across a box that had my phone number on it. No wonder why he couldn't find it. I can't believe how time just flies by! We had our first kid, Kaden Kody on August 20th, 2005( a day before Kerianda had her first). Our second child, Talbot D. was born April 23rd, 2007(10 days after Keriandas second kid). Ya, we planned that. Why does everyone ask that? We just call each other up and say "it's time"!! I think that is so funny that everyone says that.
Kody works for a trucking company "Tramcor". His dads distant cousins own the company, which makes it nice for him to work with family. His dad also drives for the company and his brother Kacey is one of the mechanics for the company. It has always been his dream to drive truck. And it's nice for him to love what he does because he always comes home with a smile on his face! He is usually home every night and that makes it nice.
I just stay home and take care of the kids. That has always been my dream. And it is so much fun. Earlier this year I was diagnosed as being bipolar. It has been a pretty rough road the last few months trying to adjust to the medicine, but if it weren't for family and friends and ward members who are always willing to help, I wouldn't be doing as well as I have. I am so grateful for that.
Well, that's us in a nutshell. Living and loving life!!
