well it is thanksgiving.. time to list my gratefuls


1. family. i have the best family. hands down. from extended to immediate. they are the real thaang. the bomb dot com. the butter to my bread. i love them and cant wait to grow old with them.

2.my body. yes yes i said it. i am grateful for this "buff should be a shot putt thrower/call me helga, piece of muscle" bod. it gets things done, is healthy, and has all working parts. and for that..i could not be more grateful. thumbs way up to healthy bodies.

3. the gospel. my testimony. a loving Heavenly Father, faithful leaders, the plan of happiness, the plan of salvation, the holy ghost, eternal marriage, good choices, and the knowledge of knowing the best is yet to come.

4. education opportunities. i cant wait to get back to school. to fill my mind with more than color changing products and translating broken english cant cant cant wait. money to get through college, my father who has worked hard his whole life so that i can go to college and a mother who had taught me that going to school is worth it. 

5. encouragement-words of, thoughts of, others testimonies, confidence, passion for living/loving life. past present and future experiences. for learning the hard way. for overcoming. for being loved. for being casey.

6. love. love. love. love is a wonderful thing. love that last forever. love that is real. love that loves back. love. for all those i love, for all those who love me. i love you.

hope your day was great and your waist lines are bigger.
i hope tomorrow you have a perfect day
cheers

sibs...

i miss my sister abby. i do. abby and i were best friends when we were little. did everything together. my favorite memories of abby are these: she slept on the top bunk and i slept on the bottom, sometimes in her bed, but most nights on the bottom. she would stick her hand down the wall so that i could see it and i would hold her hand all night. we said that if we let go we would die haha so stupid but i loved it. or when i was sure that abby had a wonderful singing voice, she doesnt, and i would make her sing me to sleep. or when my mom bought us these sibirian stuffed tigers at the zoo and abby and i made a HUGE house out of candle cardboard boxes for the tigers. we played in it everyday. we were elite children with excelling artistic minds. ha
this is my sis. andie. she wants to be just like me. ever since i can remember she has been my shadow. i remember missing school just so i could stay home and play with her and do her hair. we are best friends and always will be. some of my favorite memories with andie are just going to the mall and shopping or to the park or just chillin. we chill a lot and i really really miss her. she is so witty and hilarious and i think it is SO funny when she swears at me haha she is nine and swears. i have taught her well :)
this is mckay. he is the bomb, and awesome, and will destroy you, and is so strong, and weighs almost 200 pounds, and kills on football, and has girls all over him but turns them all down... but i am sure he has already told you all that haha. even though mckay is a TAD bit cocky he is so funny. probably one of the funniest people i know and he is stronger than me even though he is stronger. mckay and i had the funniest conversation the other day. we were talking and i asked if his muscles had grown and he said of course but then said.. well.. kinda i have been praying so hard to get bigger and i said i have been praying SO hard to shrink.. i think the Lord has mixed up us two.. drat..
this is chad. he is a babe and good at almost everything he tries. he has the softest heart and will be a friend to anyone. he used to have a lisp and it was so adorable. i talked to him the other day and his voice has totally changed. kinda freaky. chad is so stylish everywhere he goes. everything that i say that is funny i have stolen from chad. he just knows how to make people laugh ( and thanks syd for the pic i stole it off your blog)


ahh i miss my family. 49 days!!!!

ok ok i get it you all LOVE jamie more than you love me. whatever. 

i should just end the blogging business now and give it over to her. change the name is jamieandcasey.blogspot rather than CASEYandjamie.blogspot. cuz that matters.. it does. 

haha no no i am THRILLED jamie blogged. i was seriously harassing her to figure out why she snapped her laptop shut on me and i must say it was a huge surprise when i got onto the blog and saw that she had posted. and the black eye from her elbow is SO worth it. she is so awesome always giving me little surprises:) whats next JB?? roses. i wouldnt hate it.... 

ok but i am having some thoughts and i would like to share some of them. i have been sitting here on my bed for at least a good hour reading and crying over nienie's blog. if you do not know what that is look to your right on this blog page and click on that pink thing that sayd nie recovery. it is about a mother named stephanie and her husband christian who were in a private plane crash in august and are recovering still from serious burns. they have 4 beautiful children that LUCKILY were not with them. her blog is so awesome. she has been a blogger for years and she truly is so inspiring. she is so in love with her husband, children, and life, has such a strong testimony and makes the best out of every situation.

after reading her blog and going through a roller coster of emotions starting with being totally depressed that i am not that good of a mother to my children and not madly in love with my husband and then realizing i dont even have a hubby or children and then laughing so hard at her ADORABLE red headed child and all of her funny funny stories and considering going vegetarian like her, starting yoga, and having all my children sans medicine... so after all that i saw the bigger picture and i am glad i saw it.

President Hinckley being the amazing prophet that he was once said "Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured" that is a quote we should all live by. forever and everyday.

why are we quick to get mad at others and hold grudges? why do we get down on ourselves for not being a size 2? why do we not enjoy everyday for all that it is worth and soak in every bit of the 86,400 seconds of everyday. we are here to love life. we are here to find joy. to become our best selves. to laugh a lot. to love one another, to eat sugar, to work hard, to play hard, to try hard, to be passionate, to learn, to take a moment for ourselves and give the rest to others, to do service and to ENJOY what God has given us. Nie has opened my eyes, like she has to so many other, i am going to stop worrying about worldly things, stop stressing about not being the coolest person ever, the funniest the best blogger and just LOVE life. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! i am going to do that. i am. and i hope you all do the same. 

Casey doesn't know i'm blogging.....




hello..helllllo, 
So i know this has turned into caseys blog instead of "caseyandjamie.blogspot.com" like the title refers to, so i JB am going to make a post.....

ahhhhh ok ok this is as far as i got before casey jumped on the bed and asked what i was doing so i slammed my trustly little macbook shut and and wildly declared that i wasn't doing anything...she proceeded to ask and i proceeded to yell nothing...well this went on for a good 45 seconds before she decided to threaten my life with a kirkfreeport bag if i didn't tell her what i was up to... so i layed on my bed with my body over the laptop to protect all the secrets of my secret blogging. that didn't stop casey...o no it didn't, she jumped right on my back and tried to wiggle it out from me I elbowed her in the eye almost broke her glasses and now i'm typing on the floor in the privacy of our little bathroom. casey forgive me. 

ok so for those of you who don't know we just survived a major hurricane paloma (you'd think it would have a more fierce name) but anywho i'm sure casey will blog about it later but as for now we have survived for all of you who were concerned....

as a recent request by many people we need to post pictures so this one is for you..
love sneaky JB, and oblivious KC

ssssssssooooo while doing my regular blog stalking i found myself getting super upset that NO ONE has updated forever and then i thought to myself...YOU have not updated casey, guys... i know i know and its not that i dont have tons and tons to say because i totally do i just... meh... dont wanna blog lately. but i am going to take one for the team and post something so that no one thinks those nasty thoughts i think when i look at a favorite blog and there are no new updates.. so abby and taryn, the little people, this one is for you. holla.

there had been countless funny things that have happened the past little while. omg i am rotf just THINKING about it haha wtf.. why am i being a  crappy blogger i need to tell you people these things!! share the love here! i am going to give you a list of things this blog is going to contain so that i am REQUIRED to blog about it.
1. the dog attack
2.JB's family comin to visit and my parents coming to visit.
3. the new bracelets for halloween we received
4. our highly intoxicated neighbor arnold
5. the 7th day church glasses
6. late night outta CONTROL parties

ok...well once again i am sick of blogging so that is all you get...ill tell you about it later..














HAHA JK!!! can you imagine if i told you all that and then just stopped!

ok here i go. ok let me scroll up to see what my number one is... this could get annoying.

the dog attack. 
JB and i are incredibly fit if you all didnt know that by now. stallions we are. so to maintain these perfect physiques requires some training so we go up to this gym that our friends lynn and mckenzie have at there house and work out. we drive out scooter up there (well we used to... that is another story. scooter is dead.gone.in the celestrial world) anyways we are driving up there one morning at 530 A.M listening to some muse enjoying the ride when this incredible large, incredible strong, foaming at the mouth CREATURE attacks our scoot. what did the scooter ever do to you BEAST??!! luckily and i mean LUCKILY i am motocross amazing and swerved the scooter out of danger and up to the gym. seriously so scary. i mean can you imagine what we would look like if we didnt get to the gym one day!! ahh! fatties.

2. scroll scroll scroll....
ah yes the families coming. having the our parents and JBs brother and sister here was a true treat. we all had so much fun and the weather was perfect due to some intense intense prayers of faith on the behalf of sunny weather. we did EVERYTHING you could think of to do on this little island. JB and i got to do it all for a 3rd and somethings 4th time but it never gets old. who doesnt love the turtle farm or going to the city hell just to see a sign that says "welcome to hell" FOUR TIMES?!?! we dont hate it!!!....no we dont!!.........?

3. my grandma is hilarious, as is JB's. they sent us the most ironic things with our parents. JB's sweet little grandmother sent us all the ingredients to make fudge. ahh.. who does that besides swweet swweet old ladies. we love her. love you DONNA! my grandma... who just had a stroke and is recovering with FLYING FLAPPING COLORS, keep her in your prayers, sent us these hilarious bracelets that are orange and purple. mine has spiders on it and says happing haunting and jamies had ghosts and said boo boo boo hahahah she is so funny. and i am keeping it on even past halloween that is how much i love it! thanks grandmas!!

4. Arnold is our philipino neighbor. he is odd. he only has one pair of boxers and maybe 2 tank tops... never really seen him in real clothes, always offers us straight vodka and is SHOCKED when we refuse.. and he has a mistress, well... thats what we think. she only shows up when Arnold is home alone... CALL ME CRAZY....but...?? i dunno.... i say mistress. so we stalk our neighbor. get over it. so we are sitting on the couch one day at lunch with our lap tops propped perfectly on the back of the couch so we can get internet and we see Arnold and his mistress through the blinds. they are hugging and kissing and showing some serious TLC and JB and i just stare. with our lack of TLC we stare when we see it, maybe even drool, totally lame i know, you can judge us. so JB gets the novel idea to take a picture. why? not really sure. but she snaps one FFLLLAASSHH they both look at our window and Arnold walks over in his boxers and white tank and starts POUNDING on the door. not knocking or just saying "jamie jamie" at the window like they normally do. he is pounding. so what do we do? hide. ya we hide. we run in our room and hide. time comes around and it is time for us to go back to work so we have to face him. we open the door and he, who is totally drunk, asks about the picture. we totally deny is and act SO confused. through the mumble jumble of the words i couldnt understand that he was saying i heard "put on myspace" ha what a weirdo. why would we post a picture of you on myspace? whatev

ok this post is wicked long. stop reading now if your eyes hurt or have a friend read. sorry... wish i could say it is almost done..

5. so there we are riding our bikes around in circles in the parking lot of the seventh day church. round round round circle circle cirlce when JB had a great find. she saw these old, run over beat up wheres waldo glasses on the ground. she picks them up and is like casey look! and puts them on her face. haha i give her a sympathy laugh, she realizes it is just a sympathy laugh and drops them. INSTANTLY like 3 cars start honking their horns and rolling down their windows. "MAM!! YOU DROPPED YOUR GLASSES!! MAM!! YOUR GLASSES!!" a little overwhelmed JB is like haha "ok thanks!" and keeps walking and they honk again "NO! MAM YOUR GLASSES!! YOU DROPPED THEM!!" JB looks at me with confused little eyes and i am like uhh... go pick them up!! haha she does and we die laughing when all the cars have finally passed. just goes to show you that you are ALWAYS being watched. haha so funny

6. our scooter broke the day we picked JB's family up from the airport.. therefore making us walk it home from the airport... blah. so her fam was here tuesday to tuesday and then mine came the tuesday hers left and stayed till the next tuesday so.. obviously scooter less and family abundance we have not been driving up to lynn's gym. when we did we would go to bed so early so we could wake up at 5.. but now... we stay up LATE!! haha like 10...maybe 10:30. we feel so rebellious. how lame are we? way lame. i know. so the other night we are like "LETS PULL AN ALLNIGHTER AND DO TONS OF FUNS THINGS LIKE WATCH MOVIES AND GO SKINNY DIPPING AT LIKE 2 IN THE MORNING AND IT WILL BE SO FUN MAN!!" so we turn on the CD now 15 and dance for way too long, way too hard, and way too weird. and are passed out dead asleep by 11. way lame? ya i know.

ok so that was a huge blog. hope you like it. and taryn i hope you get off my back for not posting. love you all. COMMENT the blog guys! make me feel like me writing this counts for something... come on come on come on. 

latttteerrrrrr
