life with two sets of twins

Cody and I were dating for almost four years at this point. We moved from my apartment into a 3-bedroom townhome and then into our current house during those four years. We were basically doing what married couples do but he was still only my boyfriend. Life was going great and I knew he was the one I wanted to marry. I was just hoping that ring would be coming soon! 🙂
Another year has flown by and I can honestly say its been the most stressful one yet. Having two little babies can really turn your life upside down. I don’t think I could have navigated through it without my incredible husband by my side. It feels weird saying that we’ve been married for two years because it feels SO much longer than that.

January 2009
Thinking back to the first few months with McKenzie and Kasey, I laugh. I was obviously inexperienced being only 18 years old. I had no idea what to do when they cried all night. Thankfully I lived with my parents. My mom took a couple weeks off work to help me which taught me a lot.
Happy Labor Day! This past week we had a ton of stuff going on. Every day there was some kind of event. I actually liked how busy we were staying. It felt good to get out of the house even if it was just for a little while. School starts tomorrow and our lives will fall back into a strict routine – which I LOVE. I can’t believe my little baby girls are going to be starting 3rd grade! It’s just crazy! Since it was such an eventful week I thought I’d share some pictures from it! Here’s our highlight reel:
Well.. we did it! We survived our first year of marriage. Every one always says that the first year is the hardest. That might be the case for couples who have not already been together for awhile or are experiencing living together for the first time but it wasn’t for us. Cody and I had been together for six years prior to getting married and had bunked up together the whole time. So really, getting married didn’t change much. Our first year was a great one!
