Creation myth

A long, long time ago, and I mean centuries ago, a man named Caleb  Lehmann met a girl named Anna Mortinsen. Caleb lived in switzerland and Anna lived in germany. Both were traveling to America through Ellis island when they somehow came to notice each other and started to speak. They understood each other a little bit. Not too much of a languae barrier. They must have liked each other because after years of courting Anna, Caleb finally asked for her hand in marriage and she finally accepted him, he got down on one knee and did the whole proposal thing. Of course back in those years women didn't have the courage to say " NO". Nor were they really allowed to. Let's just say society and proper bring up prevented that. But it was a good thing that they fell in love. After having 4 children, (Youch!) right after getting married, their little family grew. Those 4 kids grew up and fell in love with others to. So after they got married and all had children, it was the grand kids turn to do the falling in love. Two of the cousins fell in love, deeply in love. To my surprise they fell deeply in love with each other. I know, odd. But back on those days no one even cared if you married your mom. Marrying was a part of life. As long as you did it you were socially acceptable. Marrying your cousin was no big deal. So anyways when Emma Lou and Freidrich actually said "I DO" it wasn't far behind that they would start a huge family. Emma had 11 children, unfortunately only 7 of the original 11 survived. And since society repeats itself they grew up and made more families. It was really about repopulating the earth. Then my grandmother Laura was born. She met my grandfather Fred and had three boys. My dad being the middle child. For my Moms family history, I don't really know anything about it. My Mormor and Morfar ( grandma and grandpa) both came from Denmark. They met each other at the young age of 19. When my Morfar had hair. And they had three girls. My mom being the middle child as well. When my mom was 20 something years old she went to work at Airgas welding as an analyst.  My father already worked there do that is how they met. Don't ask me how long they dated cause I really don't care. My mom got married to my dad at age 25. Then he had my sister Katie when she was 29 and had me when she was 34. I was given the name Emma Susanne Lehman, named after my great aunt Emma. Yes even the one who married her cousin. So that is the person you see everyday.
