The story of US :)

OK, my life as a kid was just about like any other kid growing up so I'm not going to bore you that badly. I can say, however, that I have a sister and a half brother and sister. My parents are divorced and both are remarried and are happier. SO...
I met my husband (Brad) around the 25th or so of February in 2000. Well I guess that's not the complete truth, I met him before that, online...but we didn't physically meet until around the 25th of February. He came to the house and at first I thought he was rather unkempt and scraggly and was hesitant to go anywhere with him. I even recall asking my mom what time I had to be home that night, her telling me "whenever you want" and me saying "no really mom, when?" However, that opinion of him was just a first impression (which in this case obviously didn't last long) because when I got to know him on more then a physical standpoint, I discovered he was absolutely wonderful :) We went to the movie rental place, I can't remember which one it was...but we rented Bowfinger and I remember pinching his butt in the store. And it's been awesome ever since then.
I am not sure what family knows and what they don't, so I really don't wanna be too repetitive, but we have been married since June of 01. I don't think I've ever been as happy as I am when he's around me, even those times that he really really pisses me off, I am so thankful to have him in my life. :))
Saria came around in April of 01-a month earlier then expected, so Brad missed her birth, but don't get too sad, so did I. I had an emergency C-section because she had a prolapsed cord and pretty much stopped breathing. I at least got to see her when I woke up from surgery, he was in Texas and didn't meet her until she was a month old.
Samuel was born in June of 04 and he was just the cutest baby, they all called him "Daddy Warbucks" in the hospital because he honestly looked a lot like the guy from Annie. We were both present and awake for that birth ;)
Benjamin was born in February of 06 and was the biggest baby I had. We also figured that since I get extremely sick every time I am pregnant, that three was enough and I had my tubes tied. While most days I regret this decision, I Know that it was the best choice to make and rather then risking dying to have another baby, I'll just enjoy the three that I do have.
Well that brings me up to where we are now, Brad got out of the Airforce and we moved up to Washington state to be closer to family (Brad really missed Ben) and Brad has found a job similar to what he did in the Airforce and we are living in our own house and it's peachy.
Saria's in first grade this year and she's doing quite well. She loves to read and reads to her brothers all the time.
Samuel is growing more and more everyday, and is just about potty trained-he wears either underwear or nothing on his butt during the day and goes potty like a big boy and just wears diapers for his nap and bedtime, we'll start working on taking him out in big boy underwear soon I think, boys do it so much slower than girls do...but he is doing very well :)
Benjamin is a fat little porker that loves to eat and lovessss to sing songs. He sings the Bob the Builder song, he sings the songs on the Backyardigans movie he got for Christmas, and by the way LOVES the Backyardigans. He's even started to say the little jingle we sing to Samuel all the time (Samuel is the Ruckey) and Ben sings "RO RO RUCKEY" heheh it's cute. I can't believe what we have accomplished in the six and a half years Brad and I have been married.
To top it all off, we just recently received our temple recommends and are planning to attend the temple very soon. (We just need to call and make an appointment basically-which has been hard here lately because Brad's been working everyday...)
I will try to figure out how to post pictures and spruce up the page eventually but for now, this'll do :)
