life.

My parents, Cornel and Rebecca Saluone met in high school.. mom was a junior ( i think) and dad was a sophomore (i think) ha anyways... they met in good ol' drivers ed class, mom had just transferred from Timpview High School, and ya know going to Provo High School.. that's a huge change due to the fact that these two schools are rivals!
anyways... mom and dad dated... ya... then I was born on August 10, 1992. names Sheliah Lynn Irene Se'ei Saluone. Mom was 18, Dad was 17. (most people in these cases are shame to admit their parents where so young) that is NOT the case with me! My parents took care of me, and each other for a very long time before they got married... mom and i lived with her friends, in apartments, and even with my dad's parents. all though this may have been a struggle for them, they got through it!
Mom and Dad and I got married and sealed together as a family in the St. George temple on June 8, 1996. I can actually remember that day, and being their in the temple, and how beautiful it was, and how joyous a day it was.

A year after mom and dad got married, my little brother was born. Cornelius Vilolo Pili Saluone JR was born June 22, 1997 Him and I being 5 years apart in age, must have been pretty easy on my parents, considering that I was old enough to pretty much take care of myself, and to play with baby JR. JR is currently 13 years old, in 8th grade, plays football, and loves to break-dance, he is growing up SOO fast.

5 years later when I was 10 and JR was 5 another baby boy was born... this was the most complicated and hardest 9 months of pregnancy for my family and I. Mom had began to get massive back pains.. it was so bad that she could not even ride in the car, any little bump hurt her, we went to many doctors and for some stupid reason they couldn't figure out what was wrong, then finally it came.. Mom had a Tumor wrapped around her spine, while being pregnant... hearing those words was the most awful thing anyone could ever hear.. mom underwent surgery, and was fine, and so was the baby... we waited and waited to hear if moms tumor had had cancer.... the results came out positive.. mom had to go in for more tests to see if any cancer was still left inside her.. thanking God, no more cancer was inside her. Kage Maua'i J Campbell Saluone was born on December 1, 2002. If you see him, you would think that him and I are NOT related at all! He has Blonde hair, and Blue eyes, while I have Brown hair, and hazel eyes. haha he's a total white boy! He is by far our miracle baby. He is currently 7 years old, absolutely LOVES football, rugby, anything that has to do with "hurting people" haha

Then 2 years later, I was 12, Jr was 7 and Kage was 2, our little sister Jaida Lilo Manaia Saluone was born August 11, 2004, she was born at 12:00 midnight... as my bday being August 10, the doctors said mom and dad could choose whether to have her bday be the 10th or the 11th. Smartly they chose the 11th so we could each have our own individual birthdays. Jaida is now 6 years old, and such a little stinker! She has to always get her way! but ya gotta love her!
i love my family, and wouldn't change them for the world! they mean everything to me. I can talk to my mom about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! she is my best friend!
