For Jodi

Does this help explain anything to you about your husband?

Be sure to read the comments about this particular coat when Daniel wore it at this age. It saved his life!

I heard Doni yell and saw Daniel floating in this life saving blue Jacket, face down in a Feburary cold pond,. I know I set a world record for the 20 yard flight, leaped into the waste deep water grabed Daniel and brought him to shore. The cold water casued Daniel to hold his breath (or an angel, I cannot be sure). He was fine. Doni's response to the whole scene: Daddy, I would have jumped in to save him, but then we would have BOTH DROWNED!; December 15, 2008 at 12:38 PM

Anonymous said...: Sorry Jodi, but your excuse doesn't fly. Remember when you were TWELVE? You were being interviewed in front of the entire church by a traveling preacher who asked you what your plans were for life. You declared confidently then "I'm going to marry Darin". I am forever greatful for that choice...but you did know what you were getting in to!; December 16, 2008 at 12:03 PM
Jodi said...: You are right I did, and I am greatful every day for it :).; December 16, 2008 at 5:12 PM
