Wow...it's been awhile since my last blog. With all the fun stuff to do on Facebook it seems like blogging is a thing of the past. Well it's time to resurrect it. :) I'm bringing blogging back...

Not much has changed. I'm still dating Casey and he's absolutely amazing. My momma always asks me why I married Chris...and quite frankly I don't know...but besides the fact that I think there's a reason for everything, I really don't know that I'd appreciate what an amazing man Casey is if I hadn't experienced what I did when I was married. I don't think that we're given anything we can't handle...and I think that we learn from everything we encounter. I will never forget something my boss said to me awhile ago...he said "Sarah, you are never going to be happy because you believe in a fairytale and that simply doesn't exist." You know what...I thought he might be right...after I got done crying and dried my tears. Then I met Casey. Casey became my friend long before either of us ever thought about dating. I think that's why this is different...why it will last. I made a best friend before I ever had a boyfriend. After all...isn't friendship the foundation to any stable, good relationship?? I am not in any way exaggerating this...he's my prince charming. He's everything I could have ever asked for in a relationship...and so much more. He's the one. Sometimes you just know...and I know. Yay for that!!! I have never had a guy open my car door, or fill my car up with gas and get me a car wash, or make sure my tires have air, or get me roses...just because, or write me a poem, or clean my kitchen, or go to the store when I'm sick and buy me not only medicine...but a snuggie, or take my dog out and walk her...for no reason. I have never had a guy buy my dog a doggie home so that she has a nice, safe, cat-free place to sleep when she goes to his house...or a guy that would run clear across a major street in traffic and around a pond just to get my dog...that once again got off her leash...and once again ran around another pond (you'll read about that in the next paragraph) (even I couldn't keep up with her...but he ran like his life depended on it). I have never had these things...and for that...I will never take them for granted...and I'll appreciate them always. I had always seen happy couples...my parents, my friends...but I was never sure I'd be one of them. After all...hadn't I already had my chance at that? Now I know what it's like.

Okay...enough mushyness!!!

Reese is still a little terror!!! I bought her a new collar for Christmas. It's so cute. It has a snowman that lights up. Or should I say "had" a snowman that lit up...until the battery somehow came off. At any rate...it was very, very cute. Unfortunately it's a little too big. I didn't think much of it...until Monday. I took her out and was trying to get her to come back in...and she escaped from the collar...and proceeded to run all the way around the pond (which isn't exactly small) and over into the apartment buildings clear across the complex. And THEN she proceeded to run up to some poor guy just trying to get out of his car and bark at him like the little 10 pound dog that she is was going to attack him or something. As much as I would have loved to run after her it was not going to happen in my boots with heels. UGH... I finally caught her...and gave her a stern lecture all the way back to my apartment. If anyone saw me they probably thought I was crazy. I had already decided if she went in the pond after the ducks that little dog was on her own. I have seen what lives in that pond and I was NOT going in there. Okay...so that's a lie. IF Reese had gone in the pond and was struggling I would rescue her...but I would not be happy about it. The only upside to that would be that maybe the firemen that are next door would come and rescue me. :)

My parents came up last weekend and met Casey. Yes...we're back on Casey again. I was so worried about what they'd think about him. I wanted them to love him as much as I do. We went to dinner Thursday night with him and then he came back over for a little while. He also come over Saturday and we went to lunch with him. My parents said they really liked him...which was good...but I wanted them to LOVE him. And then it happened. My mom called me on Monday and said "oooohhhh Sarah (in what could only be described as a happy, very high pitched voice)...your father and I were talking and we both just love Casey." That made my night...which was not the best to begin with after the Reese debacle. Casey really liked my parents too which was great. He got a big kick out of them. After all...they are delightfully adorable.

Well I guess that's about all the updates I have for tonight! I will try and blog more frequently. I miss my bloggy friends!

Stay classy San Diego!!!! Hee hee...I hope someone gets that reference.
