Mood Rings...

Hey all you fellow bloggers out there!

"We all know the girls that i am talking about
Well they are time bombs and they are ticking
And the only question's when they'll blow up
And they'll blow up
We know that without a doubt
Cause they're those girls,
Yeah, you know those girls that let their emotions get the best of them
And i've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man


Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
Cause we'll know just what they're thinking, just what they're thinking

[Chorus]
She's so pretty but she doesnt always act that way
Her mood's swinging on the swing set almost everyday
She said to me that she's so happy its depressing(stressed out that its soothing)
And all I said was someone get that girl a mood ring

If its drama you want then look no further
Theyre like the real world meets boy meets world meets days of our lives
And it just kills me how they get away with murder
They'll anger you then bat their eyes
Those pretty eyes that watch you sympathize


And i've contrived some sort of a plan to help my fellow man
Let's get emotional girls to all wear mood rings
So we'll be tipped off to when they're ticked off
Cause we'll know just what they're thinking, just what they're thinking

[Chorus]

Cause when its black it means watch your back because you're probably
The last person in the world right now she wants to see
And when its blue it means that you should call her up immediately
And ask her out because she'll most likely agree
And when its green it simply means that she is really stressed
And when its clear it means shes completely emotionless(and thats alright i must confess)

We all know the girls that i am talking about
She liked you Wednesday but now its Friday and she has to wash her hair
And it just figures that we'll never figure them out
First she's jekyll and then she's hyde
At least she makes a lovely pair

Mood ring oh mood ring
Oh tell me will you bring
The key to unlock this mystery
Of girls and their emotions
Play it back in slow motion
So I may understand the complex infrastructure known as the female mind"

HAH! Now as a very emotional person (not all the time JUST sometimes :p) I think this song is hilarious...and I am not THAT bad. I just thought I would share that with you...just for a random thing to blog about!
I am so proud of myself (in a good way!) I have been updating this blog pretty regularly! Hah! Anyhow...heh, I took these pics. then decided to photoshop them...I look comtemplative; I was thinking about what to blog. Yup, I look pretty...yeah, NOT going there! LOL :)


Can you tell I am exhausted? I felt SO bad! Last night I had Terisa over to watch "Pride and Prejudice" the new one. Now, I had just gotten back from babysitting all 3 boys and so we started the movie at around 9:30. I LOVE P&P but I only got through maybe 20 minutes and I was out. Poor Terisa...
So then today was church. Dad preached a really good sermon about learing to see and appreciate the seemingly "mundane" things.
After church we went and helped Jake, Tammy, and the kids move into G&G Kelley's house. That was exhausting! I am going over tomorrow to help Tammy unpack tomorrow after I babysit the boys.
Oh! This afternoon it POURED! For like 2 1/2 hours or more. It was insane! I got some awesome pics. of the clouds tonight afterwards though.


Anyhow, I am off to bed, morning (and babysitting the boys) comes early and I am wiped out!
Good Night!

Give it all away

Hey all you fellow bloggers out there!
So, alot of you know about how I had that really bad allergic reaction to a medicine I was taking. I had what the doctor's called a "broncal spasm" and even though it has been months since my airway is still really narrow so as a result I have a hard time breathing when I do alot of physical activities. So, in order to build up my lung capacity I have started riding my bike. Yesterday Danny and I went on a long ride and today we were going to do the same thing again. One problem...my bum was so sore I couldn't hardly stand to sit on my bike seat! I know it is sad and I am a wimp :P
All was not lost though...I ended up going on a walk instead and that was AMAZING! I got to just spend time thinking, praying, and listening to music. Anyway, my point is! As I was walking I "just happened" to be listening to the song "Give it all away" by Aaron Shust:

"Search my heart, search my mind, search my soul
Make me clean, make me new, make me whole

All of my plans, all of my dreams, I lay them down before Your feet
All of my time, all that was mine, I now submit to Your design
'Cause you are the one only one that give it all away for me
that give it all away for me

You are my strength, You are my God, you are my King
You make me laugh, You make me dance, You make me sing

All of my plans, all of my dreams, I lay them down before Your feet
All of my time, all that was mine, I now submit to Your design
'Cause you are the one only one that dared to give it all away for me
that give it all away for me (give it all away..)

Everything inside, everything outside, I give it all away
You never change, but You rearrange my heart more everyday

All of my plans, all of my dreams, I lay them down before Your feet
All of my time, all that was mine, I now submit to Your design

All of my plans, all of my dreams, I lay them down before Your feet
All of my time, all that was mine, I now submit to Your design
'Cause You are the one who can make my life complete
You are the one who can give light to my feet
You are the one, Only one who that give it all away for me
that dared to give it all away for me...
that dared to give it all away
that dared to give it all away for me...
that dared to give it all away for me...

Search my heart, search my mind, search my soul"

You know how you can listen to a song a 100 times but the 101st time it just clicks? Anyway...it was a blessing and a challenge...when was the last time you just got before the Lord and just laid it all before Him? I did today and yes, it was hard but so worth it :)
Blessings!

I SURVIVED!

Hey all you fellow bloggers out there!
I am home from Katie's house and let me tell you...it was amazing ;) 1st time in a LOONNNNGGGG time I was able to get together with a girlfriend in PERSON! It is funny how when you get 2 girls with the same 1st name together crazy things happen!
Last night we watched a movie with the whole family. THEN, me and Sarah and Katie went upstairs to just hang out and ended up on the trampoline...It was like 12am and we were just laying there in the pitch dark looking at the sky when Katie decided to take a picture of us! HAH! Talk about BLINDED BY THE LIGHT! Anyway, this is me and Sarah...heh, we were tired.



So anyway, we decided that we were so incredibly comfy that we would just sleep on ,the trampoline. It was great...until, it started raining! So, at like 10 minutes to 4 am I wake up and was like "Hmmm...it is raining." So I poked Katie and kinda mumbled "Katieit'sraining." With no response I (in my foggy state of mind) decided to just try to sleep again ,thinking the rain would stop. That worked for all of 10 minutes! The rain had completely soaked my pillow so I was rudely awakened to a river of water streaming from my completely soaked/water-logged pillow running down my neck, shoulders, and back. Needless to say we went into the house were we proceeded to sleep till about 9am (for me) and 9:30 for them.
ANYWAY, today was when the real fun began! I am a total country girl...and all country girls absolutely LOVE things like 4-wheeling, just randomly deciding to swim in a pond, and taking many random pictures! Which me and Katie accomplished today :)
We decided to go on a 4-wheeler ride 1st which was AMAZING! They live on a farm in the middle of nowhere so the scenery is absolutely gorgeous :)
So here we are on the 4-wheeler...Like the hoodie? It was not because it was cold it was to protect me from the bugs! Me and Katie both wore one and we got so hot! I felt so bad for her with that helmet on! Part of our walk was through this amazing pine forest. We saw this tree that looked like a knee so of course I had to get a pic. of Katie sitting on it! Then she got this really cool pic of me with the lane of trees...yeah it was pretty neat!





Katie found a 4-leaf clover...we were pretty cyched! That was right before we lost the camera and had to go look for it! We found it though and Katie made me walk into the middle of a meadow for a pic. Like my expression? I was telling her that if I happened to step on a snake I would kill her! She replied with "The snake would move faster then you." HAH!




After we had our 4-wheeler ride we were really hot. It was so muggy out! So, we decided to go swimming in their pond...heh, it was soooo much fun! Katie went right for it! Me...I was a little more hesitant! :p Oh, the water felt so good!The sad thing was...we were TRYING to dive of the board and I did not one, but TWO belly flops. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!In the end, sore stomach and all, we had a great time!






After lunch, we decided to just go take random pictures. What country girls are complete w/o pics. by a tractor? Hehe...notice, my head doesn't even clear the top of the tire!



So yes, that is the re-cap of the great time I had at Katie's :) Sorry about all the pics...I am kinda starting to go crazy with the whole photoshop thing! Plus, I am getting excited about this next semester of college...I have a photography class and me and Katie are taking a karate class together :) That should be interesting! Anyway, I hope I didn't bore you all too much. Blessings to you all!

Just one of those days...

Hey all you fellow bloggers out there!
Ever had one of those days were you woke up at an unearthly hour and was wide awake? Heh! I was so excited to sleep in today but alas, my body wouldn't allow me too! I have gotten a lot accomplished though :)
So, just some interesting tidbits...
I was sitting on my bed and I went to get off to go get something and I looked down and this is what I saw:



This cat thinks that my room is her room and I am the pet! Of course, after I took the picture she moved off in a huff to a different spot, I did manage to catch her there too!



So, I just had a steak dinner...I am going to drive my myself to a friends house to spend the night. Kinda nervous...the drive takes me right through the middle of a city! Oh well...I am sure it won't be that hard.

Me and Mom got to spend some quality time together today. Have I mentioned how thankful I am to the Lord for my Mom? She is the only thing that keeps me going sometimes, best friend, confident...I love you mom :)

So yes, I GOT TO TAKE A:

NAP!!!!! Which was so exciting and refreshing :) I had had some stuff going on and it was so neat to just rest for an hour or two in the arms of Jesus!

Anyway, after the nap I woke up and guess who had decided to make ME her personal pillow? That cat again!

Oh hey, you can see some of my room...it is CLEAN! I am so proud of myself :p Like all the books? I have lots more!

So anyway, today was good day...for the most part! Thought I would leave you with these...





I am off to be up all night and for some serious girl time! Blessings to you all :)

PA=sister,sister bonding time :)

Hey all you fellow bloggers out there!
SO, this weekend Jen, Abby, Me, and our friend Brenda went down to Pennsylvania to visit some friends that are ministering down there. It was a 3 hour drive one way so that was interesting! Bren got Mountain Dew, twizzlers, and sunchips for the ride down...lets just say I was very happy :)
SO we got there yesterday and just pretty much hung out. Today was the best part! WE GOT TO GO TO THE BEACH! I LOVE the beach! It was so much fun! One of our friends that we were visiting is an AMAZING photographer, so, us 3 sisters got a photo session that was out of this world! I photoshopped some of the best ones and thought I would post some:

Ramblings of a very tired girl

Hey all you fellow bloggers out there!
Yes, I am updating...and No this is probably not going to make very much sense! I just thought that I would write down some random happenings!
Today was great but tiring! For the past week I have been going early to babysit Levi, which, I DO NOT MIND but it gets tiring after a while! I love him though! He is definately one of the bright spots in my day!
I got to spend time with Sarah and her daughters Gracie (2 years) and Nora (4 months) today! It was really neat :) Tomorrow I am going to the city with them to watch Gracie while Sarah and Nora have a doctor's appointment so that will be fun!
Work is going well...
I really don't have much else to tell...
So, I will leave you with this picture:



Isn't that great! Anyone whose family owns a cat will appreciate that I think :)
Blessings to you all!

Father's Day!

Hey all you fellow bloggers out there :)
Yes, today is Father's Day! And in one of those genius moments I am prone to have, we decided to get some parent/kid pictures...here are the photos form annual Case family photo shoot 2008:

Since it IS Father's Day, We thought that it would be a great day to take pics of us kids with Dad because, #1 we have like none and #2 it would just be a nice memory. HAH! Well, Here we are! Lets Just say that Dan wasn't in a picture taking mood but at least the rest of us were! BTW: Dad was happy, he was just trying to get Danny to straighten up! Left to Right: Jen,Me,Dad, Abby, and Dan.


So then we decided to get some Mom/kid pictures because we didn't really have many and we didn't get any on Mother's day. SO there again: Left to Right: Mom, Dan (we were ready to throttle him! lol :p), me, Abby, and Jen.

Mom and Dad: I think that this is the best picture! I am so blessed to have 2 such amazing parents to love me and care for me! God is so good!



After us girls decided to get some "girls only" shots...We even got Gretchen in them even though as you can see it took some work! :)
So yes, it has been a wonderful and I have realized AGAIN just how blessed I am to have a family like I have.
Blessings!
