Well this here is my very first blog...I'm not quite sure what to type. So I guess I will do a little refresher course for you all. So it may be a long first blog.
Since this blog is about Tyler and me, I guess I will tell you about us.
Tyler and I both have hearing problems. We are NOT deaf (just to clarify that right away). I was born with perfect hearing and 3 months premature, so as close as anyone can guess, some of the medication I was on to keep me alive ended up damaging my hearing. And it was not discovered until at 3 years old, my twin (Sherri) almost got hit by a car because she couldn't hear my mom yelling at her to move. She is also heard of hearing. Now as far as Tyler is concerned we think his hearing loss came about because the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck three times when he was born. But no real medical reason was ever found for either one of us.
So because we both have hearing problems, our parents enrolled us into the Utah School for the Deaf. I started with 2 years of pre-school and Tyler joined my class in Kindergarten. We spent Kindergarten and 1st grade in the same class. And because our hearing loss was mild in relation to the other kids in our class, we were "mainstreamed" after 1st grade. So off we went to our separate schools. And for the next 19 years we would live our lives and have no contact with each other.
Then one day I got an e-mail from a familiar name on Facebook. A Tyler Johnson e-mailed me. I was shocked. I hadn't talking to this boy for YEARS and here he was on facebook. I hadn't really thought about him much in the last 19 years and it had never crossed my mind to find anyone from our class on Facebook. So we started e-mailing and chatting online, which turned into texting and phone calls, and finally to dating. After dating for 13 months we got married on September 18, 2010, in the Jordan River LDS temple. I was one of the best days of my life! And I'm pretty sure I can say the same for him.
In the 6 months that we've been married we've moved twice :) but each time we do it's to a better place. So as stressful as it is to move, I'm OK with it. Right now we are currently residing in Kearns, UT. In a cute 2 bedroom house. It's just the two of us, so it's all the space we need. Although my doggie Rowdy, will be joining us shortly.
So at some point I will post some pictures, but right now I am not sure how to go about doing that. Seeing as how I am new to this whole blogging thing. And I currently have no followers, so I'm not terribly worried about it ha.
Well I would say that this is enough of a blog for now, so until next time!!! And maybe by then I will learn how to post some pictures!
