That is me in the pink dress on the right. Cassandra Lee (Tisdale) Layne. I was born in London ON as the 4th of 5 children to Terry and Judy Tisdale. Growing up I was a unique combination of shyness and bossiness! :) Brad would say I have grown out of my shyness. lol. I grew up loving to laugh and daydream and create. I was always writing stories and forcing my younger brother Kirk to participate acting things out. I would characterize myself as a dreamer, for sure.

After high school, I wanted to leave home and experience life on my own, so I went to Sault Ste Marie ON to go to college for Massage Therapy. It was a bit scary but once I got comfortable, it was a whole lot of fun! I was there for 3 years and by the end I was ready to come home and start life as a grown-up. I had only been in St Thomas, living with my sister-in-law Tala, for a month and a half when Brad's sister Sheri set us up on a blind date. Obviously it went pretty well and in 6 weeks we were engaged and a few months after that we were married and living in Sarnia, where I worked as an RMT. Now, I am a stay at home mom to our 2 daughters and loving almost every minute of it. (the almost comes in when I'm cleaning, I haven't learned to love that yet). I am still a dreamer though, and I hope I always will be! I love to read, go for walks, watch old movies, travel, spend time with friends and family, and shop!
