Because I haven’t seen the beautiful sexy mama in FOREVER!!!

Lets change that!!!

Once I get back to NC ROADTRIP time- either I come to visit you and Casey or you guys come west!!!

... we laughed until we cried about (as Casey described very well below) musical candles and stupid run-away dogs. Actually, one stupid dog in particular. Well, I have another story for you Juliana. Too bad you aren’t here to share this story in the company of wine and tequila shots!

So—I let my shinny, handsome, 55 lb black lab, Toby, out one afternoon like usual, but once again, he broke the fence. Toby ran across the street to see a buddy of his Chi. Chi was in the fence and he couldn’t get in, so rather than come to his mother—who was calling him, he decided that he would give Chi’s mom a kiss… except Chi’s mom didn’t want a kiss. She was in the middle of painting her porch. Toby jumped up on the porch with the fresh wet paint and put two paw’s right on the front of Chi’s mom. But this isn’t the end… oh no! On the way down from Chi’s moms chest with the big wet blue paws on the front of her, his foot landed in the bucket of wet paint. In a flash, Toby was taking off down the street leaving big goofy blue paw prints along the sidewalk.

I was stunned and just stood there looking at Chi’s mom! The only thing that she could utter was, “Oh, that’s not good.” I quickly apologized and said, “Um, sorry! Um… I gotta go get my dog!”

By the time I looked down the street, Toby was no where to be found! I searched until I heard a man yelling about a “damn dog.” I found Toby in the parking lot of the nearby Dollar General, sitting in the CAR of a very tall, very large, dark man. I ran over there an apologized again, to yet another person, for the behavior of my dog.

The best part—Everyone in the Dollar General parking lot informed me that Toby had gone for a little stroll through the store, before jumping in the strange mans car.

Uggh… The joy’s of Toby!

What can I say about Bethel? Bethel has a personality that can cheer anyone up instantly. She has a sweet demeanor—but can, and is most often times a leader. She is looked up to and depended on. Bethel is essential in any group. I am lucky to know her. From this experience, I will learn a great deal.

This is an amazing person who knows how to take risks when needed, who makes a decision and jumps off the cliff, who smiles often and laughs more, who gives endlessly… I am very lucky to not only have met, but know this person. 143.

Robina Bambina has been my best friend since we were 11-years-old.

That’s a long time, people.

The reason why she’s my buddy is because she’s got the best spirit out of almost anyone I know. She genuinely cares about making other people happy, particularly through laughter. I can’t name the times that she’s called me late at night, ready for a trip to The Waffle House where we can gossip over some coffee. She’s also my only friend that I truly enjoy getting lost with. Because it’s not getting lost with Robin, it’s simply having yet another adventure.

In addition to all this, she’s also rowdy as all hell. Do you think you can party? Well you can’t. Not like Bina can.

Casey is everything that you would imagine her to be and more. But… the absolute best thing about Casey, is that she is always—exactly what you need her to be.
