The Start to Craziness

What do you write on your 1st post on your new blog?? I guess our family history, but for most of you reading this you know our family history.  Oh well, you can skip or read on.  Cassidy and I meet in High School, we had a love, hate relationship.  Sometimes we liked each other, got along, were friends, maybe even went on a date, and then the other times, we "hated" (not really) each other, ignored each other, no eye contact, called the other a "bag of Doritos" (don't ask), tied the other (me) up in or tree or duct taped to the door (again don't ask)!!  Anyways, Cassidy served a 2 year mission for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Chicago, while i finished High School at West Wood, and kissed a lot of boys (he hates that part, but it was fun:) ).  As the time neared that Cassidy would return from his mission (yes we did write letters back and forth during this time), we were both determined we were not going to date each other, which was a great plan, NOT!!  Almost one year later on Aug 2nd we were married in the Snowflake Temple.  We spent the next 3 years finishing school, oh wait that was me.  I finished Nursing School, got my degree from MCC, while Cassidy went through his check list of careers he thought he would enjoy.  Pilot (gets sick on airplanes), Harley Davidson Mechanic (6 weeks of school and realized they make nothing and its more a hobby), and the list goes on of things he ventured into.  3 months after graduating nursing school we had our 1st baby boy, Brody, then 17 months later, baby boy , Cade, then 17 months later baby girl, Kalle, then 16 months later, baby girl, Reese.  Yes, 4 kids in 4 years!!  During this time Cassidy finished his apprenticeship with APS and is now a Journeymen Lineman,  we bought a foreclosure and totally remodeled it (wow that was a lot of work!!).  So during this time of career change, 4 kids and remodeling a house we both feel like we have become crazy people, but we love our family and through all the crazy times we are still madly in love.  I am hoping this blog will capture the now moment of our life so we can look back and remember the little details i am sure someday we will miss.  As a mother of 4 little ones i also hope that it helps me enjoy and reflect more on our daily lives instead of getting caught up in the daily routine and what item needs to be checked off my to do list.  I guess the key word for this blog (besides crazy) is reflection, this blog is for me to reflect on my life week to week, something i have missed lately.  Here goes to reflection, on a crazy life, we will see how it goes:)
