Linz is offcially a soccer mom :) i told her i was going to put a soccer sticker on the van...she gave me a dirty look...hmm...maybe she didn't like it?!?! Hehehehe.... :)

dear blogger,

your blogging friend....Casey <3

you can't be to careful anymore...

the title of my blog...is a lyric from Paramore song Careful. Can I tell you I have not stopped listening to that CD since I got it like...3 weeks ago?! Oh MAN. I love love love love love the CD!!! I think my favorite song on the CD would have to be...the only exception...ohhh let me add so you can hear it :)

i dunno the CD is amazing...i mean really there isn't a bad song on the CD. but for me...i swear when i heard it i was like dang...i feel the same way!

" Maybe I know , somewhere
Deep in my soul

That love never lasts

And we've got to find other ways

To make it alone

Or keep a straight face

I've always lived like this

Keeping a comfortable, distance

And up until now

I had sworn to myself that I'm content

with loneliness

Cuz none of it was worth the risk, well

You are the only exception" <3

amazing lyrics if i do say so myself...kudos to them for a great song.

haha well i had no idea where this blog was going to go...but life these last week or so has been crazy eventful and just plain fun. well let's start on the job...well i want to be a teacher, i went to school with my sister on Monday ( we had off at the bank :)) and i loved every minute of it!!!it fit like a glove, and i totally should have just stayed with teaching when i had the chance ( yes we all make the wrong choices sometimes :)) the kids were great. i watched, helped with stuff. i got to go to a history class! it was great. i miss it so. i am very excited to see what is to come!! i can't wait to be a teacher! i get to do two of my passion: hanging with teenagers and teach them history :) woohoo!! i went to the VLM( virginia living museum) this weekend with Rob, Linz and B. I need to upload my pics!! You need to see the cuteness of my nephew ! i love that kid <3

I am also reading a great book...

very good book. i am learning so much from it...it is amazing! i love learning about myself!! :) these are things that are such common things that you need in your relationship for a good and healthy relationship...they are so simple...it is crazy...you should pick it up :) i had someone give me mine :) but so far great read!! :)

Church has been AMAZING...this past Sunday, not a dry eye in the whole place...we are going "deep" and it is just simple things here...last night in community group we were talking about " stuipd obdience"... like as if you mom tells you what to do...and you give her lip back...just doing it..." Stuipd Obdience" it is the simple things in life what God tells us to do...and we don't do...we kick and we scream...to do everything but what God says. we need to just shut up and do it. one of my favorie verses we went over last night...

" Do not be anious about anything, but in everything , by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God"

~ Philippians 4:6

I try and do my best with not worrying and freaking out, but sometimes it isn't as easy. i needed that yesterday BIG time. that God has it under control...so why am i freaking out about this and that... God is incontrol. He is BIG ENOUGH to take on my problems, my worries, and my freak outs. i need to have "stupid obdience" towards God. im just learning so much lately...it is like information overload...i love it. i love that i feel for once in a really long time...my life is on the right track! and it feels SO good :) My student community group is GREAT!!! i love these girls...they are so cute. they are great. i love every minute of hanging with them. it is never a dull moment!!!

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

i know what you are thinking...

which i love by the way...haha...i think it might be time to pull out the seasons again...side note. my mom went to NYC like 2 weeks ago and she got me a central perk tote bag :)

ahhh friends...how i love you.

But that is not what my blog is about...i just want to say that friends are amazing! i mean you knew that right?! :) hehe. but lately...i am just so blessed with amazing friends who have stuck by my side, with life and it's many turns, it's hills and it's valleys. i am glad that i have people in my life to help me out, to look out for me, or just call for advice. i am glad that i can go to them and talk to them about my problems, or ask for help or whatever i need. they are the most important thing in life ( yes besides your family...which i love love love my family :)). i just can't say thank you enough to them. some of them i have lost touch with, some of them we are back into each other lives. i just want to say that i am so thankful to all of you who have put something into my life. you have made me the person that i am today, and for that i am eternally greatful.

why i love Dave Matthews Band <3.

one of the best "love songs" i have heard in awhile...
