One Year Ago Today

I checked the calendar and realized that today would have been my mom & dad's 57th wedding anniversary, but also a year ago the kids and I boarded a plane to spend 2 weeks in England along with my mom, John, Susan & Rick, we had to leave dad behind since he had just started a new job in February.

After a very long flight we ended up at Heathrow in London and spent a great 2 weeks staying in Desborough and touring London, Warwick Castle, Rockingham Castle, Foxton Locks and having a wonderful time reuniting with family.

Getting Started

I've actually been thinking about doing this for quite a while and Hank has mentioned it a few times also. In fact, he came up with the blog title a while back and is quite proud of his play on our name, so here we go!

I'm going to try to use this to help record things that happen in our lives for my benefit, but also so family and friends that don't see us all the time can keep up with what's going on in our life.

Life can just be crazy and sometimes it's a good crazy we want to remember and sometimes it's a bad crazy that we just need to remember and that's what this will be all about.

Hopefully I won't bore anyone too much with all the little crazy and non-crazy things that happen in our lives and if I do I'll apologize now and get it out of the way.
