Heyya! A certain "someone" told me that I needed to update. So here goes....I have left Swift Newspapers (long story that goes back to a over jealous manager) and I am now working for the Specialty Health Clinic in Reno. I have been there for 6 or 7 weeks now and overall I am enjoying it. I am still in school and sticking with the Nursing major with an interest in becoming a Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse. My visit to Utah was AMAZING (thanks for holding my hair back Maren!) and I will hopefully return for a visit over my winter break from school. Mom, Cejay and I recently went to San Francisco (Oct. 14-16) for Cejay's 19th birthday. We had a blast visiting all the areas we had not seen in several years and yes I did leave a bit of my heart there. But I did bring a LARGE part of my heart home and finally realized something that I should have a long time ago. Ok I know that you will all be shocked by this (hahaha yeah right you all knew it before I did) but Eric and I are back together again and hopefully for good. TA DA! I finally came to my senses and it is about darned time!! My apologies to Garrett and Cejay for keeping it from them but it was so fun teasing you guys and waiting for you to guess! I have not been happier than this in a long time and I couldn't be happier that Eric gave me another chance (thank you my love). Well I am off to enjoy my day off with a movie day spent with Mom and Cejay and then a mystery night. I finally turned in my rolls (of film not my fat....hehehehe) from Florida last weekend so depending on the cost of picking them all up I should hopefully have those posted this weekend. Hope all is well with you!!!!

P.S.
For those of you airheads out there. The picture up top is obviously not of me. It is of the men in my life. LOL....Eric and his (MY!!!!) puppy Joey

Ok Casey-Lianne you have just won the jackpot where you get to choose one wish to come true! What are you going to do? "I am going to Utah!!!!!!!!". That's right everyone I am finally making it to Utah and I could not be more jazzed!!!! :) I leave for Salt Lake City at 10:05 am on Southwest Flight #182 that arrives in SLC at 12:25pm. And then I leave to come home on Monday at 1:45pm on Southwest Flight #1176 and make a brief stop for a layover in Las Vegas (one hour) before returning home at 4:15pm on Flight #2508. I get to see my best friend in the entire world (Maren) and her family. While there I get to see Maren and her mom perform in Beauty and the Beast. I miss seeing Maren sooooo much and this visit could not have come at a better time.
I have just found out that a good friend of mine has come into misfortune of recent. I ask that you please keep him in your thoughts and prayers!
Well I am off as I have a few assignments for school that I need to make sure are complete before I leave. If any of you will be in Utah then please call me up! I will have the cell with me and will also be taking the laptop so I can keep up on e-mail.
Best Wishes for a safe and Happy Holiday Weekend.

Ok so here goes....Happy News first....I leave tomorrow for a six day camping trip with my mom, cejay and the girls (our three labs). I also just finished booking a trip to Salt Lake City to visit with my best and closest friend ever....Maren. I talked to Maren last week and agreed that we needed to see each other as it has been horrible being apart from each other after she was my roommate four months. I called her today and was able to just leave a voicemail so hopefully all will work out with the dates. I will fly over on Friday, September 2nd and fly home on Monday, September 5. So if any of you will be in Utah during that time perhaps we can meet up. Now as for the bad news....I was in a car accident about 5 weeks ago. I am fine but the car was totaled, my wallet was stolen last week. Everything has now been replaced except for the $210 that I had in my wallet. My grandmother had a moderate stroke about three weeks ago and MRI's have shown that she has had several minor strokes before this moderate one. We are still awaiting results to see what has caused them. My girls (the dogs Tiki and Audrey) ran away the other day as I let them out of the car and they were found 20 minutes later about 1.5 miles away on one of the busiest streets in town. Luckily I was blessed and both of my girls were just fine. I am also going through alot of stress at work and have seriously thought of quiting. Things have in general become extremely overwhelming but I am hanging in there and fighting strong. After meeting with my doctor we decided that I need some time to myself and time to regather myself as I have been physically sick from everything going on so effective as of today I am on two weeks of doctor ordered time off. I am starting school in a week or so and am scared yet excited at the same time. We shall see how it turns out. I am signing off as it is now 11:36 and I have an early wake up call to pack everything up for our trip tomorrow morning. I will not be reachable as I am leaving all "modern convienances" (laptop, cell phone, tv) so that I can just get away from it all and enjoy the time with my family and rejuvinate myself. I will check my e-mail when I return home on Sunday and my voicemail will be checked at the same time. I wish you all well and hope to hear from you all soon.

Ok so here is an update. I have decided that I need to place a claim with my insurance agent for the car accident as it sounds as if the other car will be totaled and I cannot afford to cover that on my own. We still have not heard anything about "Grettie" except today I found that the tow-yard will not let anyone, besides an Insurance Adjustor, on the property to look at the car unless I am there which is pretty close to impossible as I am working from 8am until 5pm three days this week and then I will not be in on Friday as I am taking a "mental health day" to go white water rafting along the American River. I am hoping that a day of sun, fun and relaxation (although tough work with how the rapids are right now) will help me to clear my mind. This past week has been a constant headache and I am ready for "me" time. Last night I splurged on myself and ran a hot bath and just sat the for nearly 45 minutes. I sware to you all that I felt like Jello afterwards as I was so relaxed and no longer tense.
I am now officially registered for the fall semester at Truckee Meadows Community College. I had intentions of taking a full 12-credit load but it worked out to where I am registered for 10. I am taking psychology, math, english and a women's self defense course. Cejay and I are in the same psychology course so that should be a blast! My friend Jen (from here at work) and I are taking the self defense course together. Watch out Arnold because here come the buff versions of Jen and Casey. LOL.... If all goes as planned I will enter the Nursing program in fall of 2007. I could really kick myself for not buckleing down and getting school done right off the bat but I have to look at it as at lease I am going back and I have a set goal in mind. I still hope to one day work as either a Neo-natal Intensive Care Nurse or in Pediatrics.
I had been debating on leaving my job and going elsewhere as I feel brain-dead and unchallenged here. I have settled on staying here atleast through the full fall semester as when I start back to school I will probably live for these quiet down times as they will be few and far between.
By the way, I am still looking for advice on the "serious thought" stuff from my last entry. Any ideas are very much welcomed!
I am going to be working hard to pay off all of the car issues but I am excited as I am also going to be saving for a few trips. Cejay and Garrett have managed to "con" me into attending a concert in Las Vegas with them. Any of you that know me also know that I am not into the super heavy music. Well, the concert is for Seether, Crossfade and two other groups (that I have never heard of). Anybody own stock in ibuprofen? I have a feeling that I will need quite a bit for the headache that I will have. The concert in on September 9th, a Friday, so we are flying down early that day and then coming home either late Saturday or sometime on Sunday. I am going to try also seeing the Medievil Knights show at the Excalibur while I am there. For my Winter break I hope to spend some time both here with family and in Utah visiting friends. Over my Spring Break I am considering spending a while in Orlando visiting with everyone who is still down there.
Well it is nearly 3:45 pm and I need to finish a few things before doing the soda shopping for the office. Have fun with the update, sign the guestbook (or I will carry through with threats! LOL) and talk to you all later.

Alrighty....There are not any new pictures posted of me but I figured that I could at least leave an update here. However I am posting pictures that my friend Stuart sent me of his Alaska Trip. Stuart is also shown in my baptism pictures as he is/was the missionary who baptised me back in September of 2004. Stuarts pictures are under the gallery titled "Stuart Foust and Family". I have also posted pictures of Kylie and Connor Eden that I just received. They are under the album titled "Eden Family"
Tuesday I was in a car accident on my way from work to a law panel. The brakes chose not to work on "Gretel" (the '91 Caprice that I have been driving)and instead of stopping I continued into an intersection and collided with another vehicle. Both of us drivers are ok and there were not any passengers. Right now dear Grettie Ettie is at Milne Towing here in town and I am waiting on Jeff from Sullivan Paint and Autobody to go out and give me an estimate for repairs. Part of me is really hoping the he says that the car is totaled as I am no longer comfortable driving her. I have found a gorgeous car online at cars.com (http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp;?tracktype=usedcc&searchType
=21&pageNumber=0&numResultsPerPage=50&largeNumResultsPerPage=0
&sortorder=ascending&sortfield=PRICE+ascending&certifiedOnly=false&

174570170&recnum=23&leadExists=true&sellerFirst=true)
and it is a more than reasonable price on a great car that is pretty fuel effecient and the car is in immaculate condition. The thing is that because of my credit I will not be approved for a loan so I need to see if my mom would sign on one for me. I am hoping that she agrees but I have not collected up the courage to ask her yet. Wish me luck please!!!!
Tonight my friend Kelly invited me to a Album Release Party for her best friend Janine Elise Scott. JES's first album was released at the party tonight and Kelly co-wrote 4 songs on the album. I am not a big country music fan (guess that I should not be living in Nevada) but I do have to give mad props up to Janine who was absolutely amazing! Think of a Martina McBride/Reba McEntire mix and that would give you Janine. If you ever have a chance to purchase her album or see her perform live definitely do so and I promise that you will not be dissapointed!!!! After the party Cejay, Garrett and I went to Denny's for sustinence and we ran into Cejay's first ex-boyfriend (C.J. and yes they really went out and have identical names) and her old friend Ian. It was good to see them both although I do know it was akward for Cejay. Let's just say I think that they were shocked to see me. I have changed quite a bit since I was in high school (all of three years ago) and they didn't recognize me. It was quite hilarious to see their expressions and glances. Maybe some of you are correct in that I am not despicable or ugly. Gosh to think that I would actually agree that you are right. The world must be coming to an end. LOL
This Friday we (Cejay, Mom, Garrett, Me, Eric and Jen) are going white water rafting in Northern California and then on Saturday we will be in Sacramento as Mom, Jennifer (different from the Jen listed above) and Leanna need to give a talk about safe sex, STD's, birth control, testing and such so that they can finish their public nursing course and actually receive their diplomas. It should be a quite entertaining weekend to say the least!
Ok now for the serious thought stuff....What do you do when you realize beyond a shadow of a doubt that you *REALLY* like a good friend of yours and they have no idea how you feel? How do you let this person know how you feel without ruining the friendship that is already there? Some of you already know who this person is (please don't mention his name) and others do not. What would you do in this situation? Some people have told me that he likes me hands down or else he wouldn't still be talking to me. I don't know what to think and I think I might go looney over this. Any ideas?
Well I am off to bed soon as I need to be at work by 12 noon tomorrow and I need to wake up early so that I can call Sullivans and figure out all this headache of the accident. Hope all is well with you!!

Heyya! I still exist I promise! Ok here is a deal for you all....I know that there are more people than Jen (Love ya!) who have been looking at the site and visiting quite often (not to give any names......Braden) who have not signed the guestbook. So here goes, sign the book and I will post new pictures this week. I don't like any of them but I will post them anyways as I am told that I am too critical on myself (Eric and Cejay). I promise to bite the bullet one of these days and develop all of my Florida pictures but in the mean time the junky ones will have to do. Hope all is well with you all! I will leave an update on the marvelous life and adventures of yours truely sometime this week. Perhaps as soon as tomorrow depending on how slow work is.
Cee-ya Later....
