remember that time when i love my life?

i do.

this weekend i went to rexburg for a visit and it was glorious!
my roommates all came too...so it was a party.
the perfect last fiesta before the mish.

first- i got picked up by this beautiful face! boy was i glad :)















then- i watched my favorite basketball team at byui. go ditka!
after that it was just a blur of sheer joy and excitement.
there was a lot of screaming.
mainly because i LOVE these girls

[almost] all of the girls i've ever lived with
were there this weekend.
liz. kelle. sarah. shay. julliette. 
lauren. susan. lindsay.
how many times can i say i love my life before it gets annoying?
seriously.
these girls mean so much to me!! all of my fun and amazing experiences i've had in idaho, i owe to them. they are the best.
and so beautiful.

saturday- i got to watch one of my bestest bestest most favorite friends get engaged

kelle had to shoot balloons with a pistol before she could get her ring.
idaho much?

big jud's. classic.

i laughed pretty ridiculously hard basically the whole time.
we reminisced like there's no tomorrow :)
ok we'll do that-nakey ross-the bachelor-juliojuliojulio-alarm clock wars-pink towel-marty
the jokes never get old

not only did i get to see these girls all weekend but i have other friends too! :)
there were so many tender mercies...i randomly would run into people i wanted to see.
pretty amazing.

some other happy times were:

• time with sasquatch and taylor. those were sad goodbyes...but i love them! i'm gunna miss my las vegan friends. but luckily they are the ones i know i'll see in two years! good luck in russia zachsquatch :)
• laughing with liz for so long i can't breathe and tears are streaming only to realize that i have no clue what i'm laughing about

we party

on monday, i threw my annual Valentine's Day party!
it is the best holiday.

 

except since i'm not in rexburg...this time it was just for my wonderful family. 
i love them

we ate lots of yummy food and treats with hearts on them, made valentine's for each other, played a fun game and had a blast!

Our bags full of love notes!

Caden and Jaxen made amazing valentine's with puff balls and googly eyes :)





unfortunately, my littlest nephew was sick and my dad had to work...so we missed them and my sis-in-law whitney

but caden did say, "i like casey's valemtime's party"
so that was all i needed :)

there's nothing better

than a totally ridiculous 80's music video.
tears for fears style.

you know how i like videos!

so watch this one, alright?

my good friend zach posted in on his blog.



i think it's funny :)

tender :)

but most of all...i'm just happy and loving my life

lost and found

Once upon a time, I lived in apartment 313 with some of the best girls I've ever met. Last night I just stumbled upon some videos that we made a year ago. They are so funny to me!! They make me laugh super hard. I miss my roommates. College is such a PARTY and I love it!

I could only upload one of them cause the others are too big. But I love this girl, lauren miner. She is so great! And always makes me laugh so hard :)

LOVE IT

I miss being up at school. But I'm happy to say that I get to visit Rexyburg next month. Just in time for Valentine's Day. Perfect!

new era

i love being home.

i love that vegas feels like home.

i love vegas weather.

i love being with rachel.

i love my family.

i love no homework.

but...sometimes things just aren't the same without this:

i miss it

it's a good thing that missions are the reason we aren't all together.

cause otherwise i'd be livid :)
