Christmas 2008

Casey and I had a wonderful Christmas. We spent lots of time with family and friends. Casey spoiled me and got me everything I wanted for Christmas and more. Our first Christmas as a married couple was perfect. We had parties everyday starting the Saturday before Christmas until the Saturday after. We spent some time with Casey's extended family as well as a lot of time with his immediate family. We had the opportunity to get together with our old " Game Night" crew. We went to Tuccahno's and then down to Kevin and Audrey's for some pictionary and some Rock Band!

First Official Wedding Picture

I printed our first professional wedding pic today! Shellee is such an amazing photographer. Casey picked this one. We had a hard time deciding on one that we both liked equally. We came up with this one and I think it turned out great. I'm normally not in love with close ups but with soft focus and touch ups anyone can look good right? I'm excited to find a frame and get it hung up somewhere in our place! Yeah for wedding pictures!

The Joy of Giving

I am really enjoying the holiday season! I have a lot of my Christmas shopping done and decided that while Casey was away playing Volleyball tonight I'd sneak in his gifts and get them wrapped! I listened to Christmas music and sipped some candy cane hot chocolate. I love the way our tree turned out this year and now it looks even better with gifts underneath!

Christmas Surprise

We flew home from California Wednesday morning after a week of holiday fun and I pretty much had to pack my bag forthwith and go to work. I came home late last night after an exhausting two day trip only to find the most wonderful surprise. I walked in the door and there in the living room was a fully decorated Christmas tree! Casey had pulled it out and decorated while I was away! I was so happy I wanted to cry. He had also picked up a beautiful Christmasy bouquet of flowers to display in our kitchen! It was the best surprise I've had in a long time. I am so thankful for a thoughtful and hardworking husband. Oh and he also got me a new heater to have during the day because I am always freezing....an early Christmas gift from the one I love. Thanks Case. I adore you! ( can I just brag a little bit more?.....He cleaned the bathroom too!)

Love at Los Hermanos

Casey and I met while working at Los Hermanos in Provo six years ago. (Can you believe it's been six years?) Tradition at Los Hermanos states that if you meet there and then get married they will paint your names on a booth! Just the other day one of our good friends from Los let us know our booth was finally finished. It is booth 16-2 upstairs. We celebrated our booth the other night with our good friends Zane and Jessica! Yeah for our booth. We used to joke about how cheesy a booth with "Stacey and Casey" on it would be. I secretly love it! I couldn't stop smiling sitting there in our booth!

Tis' the Sesaon

I am so ready for Christmas! I have secretly been listening to Christmas music every chance I get. Casey is strictly opposed to listening to Christmas music, or doing anything Christmasy for that matter, until Dec. 1st! This year we are going to St. George for Thanksgiving and then straight to LA for Christian's recording session for one of the three movies he's working on right now. I work the rest of the week and won't have a chance to decorate for Christmas until Saturday the 6th! Sad. :( I am usually a "you must wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate for Christmas" kind of girl, but I may bend the rules and start today. Hopefully Casey won't disown me! I am so excited to have our first Christmas as a married couple this year!

Laughter: Good For The Soul

This face was born on our honeymoon! I was laughing so hard I had snot coming out of my nose!

You know how you can do the stupidest or weirdest thing around little kids and they just laugh and laugh? Well that's how it is with Casey and I. He does something super weird or kooky and I cannot stop laughing. I get the giggle fits and I almost pee my pants daily. I am so happy to be married to someone who is not only handsome and hard working but extremely entertaining as well. Laughing is such a natural high and I am grateful to have so much laughter in our home. I love you Case! Thanks for making me smile!
