On this day...

...

on this day, 3 years ago,

i married mr. casey b.morgan.

on the morning of that day, i woke up totally calm

and collected. i was not one bit nervous.

i knew i was making the best- and the most right decision

that i would ever make.

this morning, 3 years later,

i woke up with that same feeling.

it's true.

it was the best decision i ever made.

and this morning when casey kissed

me goodbye as he left for work...

i knew it could only get better from here.

happy anniversary, case.

i love love LOVE you!

Making lots of Memories...

Our great friend, and the talented Tara Shreeve came over a week or two ago and took Roman's first official baby pictures. Here are some favorites. We are still waiting to see the rest, but I am sure there are more cute ones to come!

I didn't think it was POSSIBLE
to love Casey more than I already did.
But then we had a baby.
I have no words to explain it.
You just have to go through it to know it, I think.

We are so deeply grateful - every single day-
for the joy that Roman has brought to our lives.
I always imagined what Parenthood would be like...
this has surpassed all of my dreams.
It's amazing how I have only "known" him for 3 weeks,
but I feel like I know him so well.
And I love him so deeply.

I just wish I could slow down time...

Guitars, Tiki Bars and a whole Lotta Love...

I have slowly converted Casey to the joy of country music.
Bwah ha ha...
It's been my evil plan all along.
We are starting one artist at a time.
A few months ago, he really started bonding with Mr. Chesney.
Everywhere he went, Mr. C came.
He especially loves him,
because he mentions Boston and the "Red Sox" in a few songs.
Casey wished they were best friends. I know he does.

Anyway, a few weeks ago,
we scored some sweet and cheap tickets to his show.
We went with my parents and Sister and Bro-In-Law. (Jen & Chad)
Besides sitting out in the BLAZING heat and
with throbbing swollen feet...
It was SO MUCH FUN!


{Oh, and take note in the top picture,
Kenny whipped out a U of U hat for one of his songs.
That totally sealed the deal for Casey.
Done.
Love.
Mission Accomplished.}

Finally! An Update!! Two Months worth!

About two weeks ago, we returned home from an AMAZING trip to Maui with our DEAR friends Erin and Jared and Baby Sawyer... It was a trip that we will remember forever! It was worth every penny!

Casey was so sweet... he would dig me a chair in the sand and then when I wanted to turn over, a little dip in the sand for my Belly! I was having a hard time trying to get comfortable with my growing belly.

The weather was PERFECT the whole entire time we were there!

It was so great.

It only slightly trickled the first day.

Sawyer was SOOOO good. I feel like we are being spoiled by hanging out with him because he is so insanely good. He slept great and was rarely fussy. He was such a trooper too getting sand all over the place and everything. This big smile of his is just about constant!

We love him so much!

We hiked to "The Blowhole." It's a natural hole in the lava where the water shoots straight up out of the rock and sprays ya. It was really fun. And really hot.

Casey lost his favorite white shades to the waters of Maui. It was a tragic day. He has had those sunglasses for 7 years. At least they we know they are lost in Heaven on Earth.

We went to the yummiest breakfast place that Jared's parents recommended... The Gazebo. It was right on the beach and soooo delicious. Casey got Banana Macadamia Nut Pancakes. Wow. Only in Maui. And they have the yummiest Coconut syrup. It was DELICIOUS!

We went on this great hike through rainforest that led to one of the best snorkeling spots! The hike was fun and the snorkeling even better! Lots of Fish and turtles.

It was an amazing trip needless to say. I want to go back at least every couple of years for the rest of my life! It was so fun to be there with Casey. It made us with our little man was there with us! But at the same time we are glad we went when we did... Babies require lots of stuff.

So there you have it. Our Summer update so far. I will be better at this.

I promise!!

Casey's Bowling Birthday

Case and Charlie...

Nick and Tara

Matt and Linds

The Morgans...

And the Birthday Boy! I am sad... I didn't get pictures of so many people who

were there! Especially Casey's two best friends Matt and Cam.

I didn't even get a picture of us together! I need to get better at this!!

Anyway, I put together a little party for Casey back in April at FatCats.

We had a huge turnout and LOTS of pizza.

It was way fun!

(This post is CLEARLY delayed.)

It's about time you meet my better half...

casey benjamin.

i love you so much it hurts.

happy birthday!

~~~~~~~

Today is a big day.

Mr. Casebone turns a quarter of a century!

I am so proud to be married to this man.

Since we fell in love 4 years ago,

he has- and is still becoming so successful.

He has accomplished so much.

He is insanely good at balancing his time.

He works 40 hours a week,

goes to the gym on his lunch break at work,

goes to school tuesday, wednesday and thursday nights,

comes home to study the scriptures,

plays on a softball league on monday nights,

basketball every Saturday...

and still finds time for me.

He is my hero.

So today, its my turn to spoil him rotten.

To start, here are ten things I love and adore about my husband.

1. When he smiles, his eyes squint and he gets these adorable smile lines.

2. He can make me laugh until I cry. (or pee my pants... whichever comes first)

3. You will never hear him complain. About anything!

The most optomistic person you will ever meet.

4. His masculine physique is just about to die for. He is so handsome.

5. He sings all day long. Out loud. He loves to rock out to classic rock.

He has a beautiful singing voice and is a talented guitar player.

6. He will be the best Dad in the whole world. I have known this one

from the very start.

7. He is obsessed with bar soap, loves homeade chocolate chip cookies,

has the BEST skin, and LOVES Diet Coke.

8. He loves to mow the lawn.

9. He can't resist playing with my hair. Ever.

No matter what is going on, if my head is in his hands reach,

he HAS to play with my hair. I think it's an addiction.

10. The love and devotion he has for our Savior. His testimony is so

strong. Also, he makes me feel like the only girl on Earth.

A list of ten things is simply not enough

to explain how much I love him.

But I know he knows. And that's all that matters.

I love you casey!

Happy Birthday!!

Thank you for being my best friend.

For keeping me laughing.

And just so you know,

I still get butterflies when you kiss me.

xoxo. your wife

love love love

it is the month of love.
my favorite holiday {2nd only to christmas}
i love and cherish valentines day. always have.
i love that in just about every store you enter,
red and pink hearts welcome you.
i love that even if you aren't in a relationship,
you can still celebrate the love you have for your
family and friends. neighbors. pets.
i love conversation hearts.
i love all things pink, flowery and romantic.
and i love love love to love.
and to kiss my darling.

today i was feeling a bit sad.
maybe just feeling sorry for myself.
but i was thinking that sometimes-that must be okay.
{you know, feeling sorry.}
so i picked up my phone
and called the man who can always cheer me up.
and i requested that he leave his mandatory all day work meetings.
and rescue me.
and take me to a warm and sunny-
flowery meadow.
where we could lay in a blanket
and watch the clouds go by until the sun went down.
~
sadly, the meetings were mandatory.
followed by a mandatory work dinner-
accomponied by a guest speaker.
i sure miss him on a night like tonight.
and should i be so lucky that i am still conscious when he arrives-
i will kiss him til' my hearts content.
~
happy month of love.
i hope you find someone to kiss goodnight too.
