Kenny's Story
Life
Went on a mission for the LDS church in 2000 to Korea. Learned and loved Korean, Korea and the people. Returned to the U.S. in 2002. Met Rebecca (now my wife) in 2002. Proposed to her on a Tuesday, got a phone call mobilizing me for Iraq on Friday, got married the next Tuesday, left for pre-deployment processing on Friday, returned two weeks later because of an over supply of soldiers for the deployment. Now, two years later, happily married. Two cats, three birds, two computers and a motorcycle.
