Hi, my name is Casey! I'm a daughter to the King of Kings, a wife to an amazing hubs and a new mommy to a darling little girl who has changed my life forever, for the better:). I would put my age up here but, that will constantly change so I will just privy you to the fact that I was born in 1983...good ol' 80's! My hobbies are blogging and photography and now that I am a mommy, my child has become a hobby, in a sense for me as well. I live in North Carolina and used to work full time out of my home for a company I have been with for over 7 years now. I got to the point that working full time and having a small child was just too hard on my heart and my energy. I personally didn't want to be missing out on memories with my little one so my hubby and I decided to crack down and learn to live on less (still working on it!) which would allow me to be a stay at home mom. I have grown to love my role as a stay at home mom. Not always an easy role but the rewards are priceless!!
All in all I am a "lucky" gal and I blog to share what is going on in our land and to keep our family out in California up to speed. I don't eve know why I am so hooked on blogging but, for the time being I am and I kind of think it's an answer to prayer because for so many years I didn't have a hobby and I was always praying and asking God to give me a hobby. He gave me blogging, photography and a child! I am quite satisfied! hehe
Things I like: vanilla things over chocolate things, long walks, watching movies and shows (though I have hardly watched anything since my daughter was born), decorating (with my tiny budget), getting new clothes (though I seldom do for the record), cleaning (yes, I am a full blown clean freak...think Monica from Friends...more or less), my morning cup of coffee with LOTS of cream, rainstorms with lightening and thunder (except when they are at 2 in the morning and wake me and my baby up...ug), christian music and classic rock music (quite a difference there. lol), super velvety soft things (I would buy every fleece and cashmere blanket if I had no self control), yard work (yes, you read that right!), landscape and design, quiet time, family time, a good grilled steak, sushi (one of my favorite foods!), having the neighbors over and hanging out and eating together, wake boarding (though I haven't done it in a while), hiking, dancing, holidays, traveling to new places (hate the travel part but love getting to the new destination), Skittles, singing, writing.....and a lot more.
Things I don't care for: onions, pancakes with maple syrup, country music (I like a small handful of songs), bugs, curling my hair myself (I have thicker hair than anyone I know!!), balloons popping right next to me, cooking (no me gusta!!), cream pies, July and August in NC (soooo hot!), super spicy foods, horror movies, taking huge risks, running (though I do it from time to time), ego, fishing (it's my hubs favorite thing and I just can't get in to it), being over tired, math, flying (I get SO sick), camping ( I do camp, but at this point it is just way more work than fun...to me), alcohol (not a religious thing for the record...I have always hated the smell and taste of it), talking on the phone (I talk all day for my job so by the time I get off I'm over it), folding laundry and putting it away...I'm sure I'll think of more things to put here in time. lol

So there you have it. This is pretty much me in a large nutshell. Thanks for stopping by!
Well hey there sister (I'm a daughter to the King of Kings too and aint He amazing!)
ReplyDeleteBlogging is an amazing outlet. I have been doing it a couple of years and didn't think I'd enjoy writing this much.
Having a special needs child has me focused on writing even more.
God Bless you and your lovely family,
Michelle
I never knew you hate talking on the phone?! Sorry I make you do something you hate. :-( I'm glad you are into blogging...I love all the updates you do. Unlike your slacker friend in Oregon who does one update a month...if that. But I had a little talk with her and she is going to try and get in the habit of doing one update a week.
ReplyDeleteI just had to comment on your working part full time. I know you aren't now. But when Travis and Alesha were little I use to have to drop them off at the babysitter at 3:30 AM and there was so many times I wondered how I even drove to work or made it there because I was so tired. I would close one eye and leave one open on the way there switching off. I played softball that would end some nights at 11 pm and have to be at work too during the week. I played on two teams and James played on two teams. So seems like we were there all week long. When I worked graveyard when Cody was in elem. and Alesha and Travis in middle school. Went to work with no sleep so often. I would wake up if got any sleep at 2:30 PM and had to be at work at 11. Travis and Cody were in football and Alesha was in softball so never got much sleep with practices and games before going to work. :0) I did have to quit that one after like 6 months. It so was bad on my body for sure. I feel you all the way and just love reading what you right. You can so put in great words... Great work Cousin!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNew follower!!! Excited to be here :)

love your about me page...
ReplyDeletethese are hard to write and I've not done it yet. ;)
I am right there with you on not liking math, lack of sleep, horror movies and curling my own hair (mine is pretty thick too) And really almost your whole list, except I like spicy spicy food... I know it's weird but sometimes i like it when my tongue burns. Weird huh...
oh I wanted to mention this but forgot... Friends is one of my favorite shows and it made me laugh that you relate to Monica, she's one of my faves on the show. her character is such a fun one to watch.
ReplyDeleteHi I'm Heather! I found your blog through Scripture and a Snapshot & am excited to be your newest follower! :) I loved your About Me page ~ I also live in NC & am originally from California! Yep, Burbank born & raised! I moved out here almost 4 years ago. Anyway, I was just excited to find another NC resident from home! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week!

Ok, we could be GOOD friends! I hate onions...I only like a handful of country songs/singers as well (although i will say, SugarLand is winning me over, they are super cute and their stuck like glue song is awesome driving music), I am SOOO like Monica in the cleaning dept. I have 3 kids, so.....you know it be get'n messy up in here. I was JUST in OBX and loved it, but am from the east coast (VA) so I know how hot those months are. AND i have curly hair, so...that doesn't look good...not for one bit. I hate horror movies, I loath running (thus I am forcing myself to do it everyday), I hate folding laundry and putting it away....especially putting it away...oh boy. Anyway, we could be great friends friend. :)
