i have been so busy!!


My summer has been crazy!! Two of my best friends got married this summer, Meghan Derby (now Kingsford) and Aly Fellows (soon to be Giles). Its crazy, i love them both and wish them the best!!
So Summer has been filled with
  • 2 jobs
  • watching the girls whenever emilee's not home
  • helping with weddings
  • and my computer crashing
As i said before a CRAZY summer. And I cant believe its almost over.
I miss Utah so much. But I will miss Alabama when I leave, its my home.

I gave Aly a pampered chef bridal shower, and you know me no party cant go un-decorated. I guess that is why i am going into Interior Design.
The theme was Knotted in Love. So cute!
Heres some pics of the party.






it was so fun. and i will post about the beach later. I got to go!
love Cassie

Aunt Sassy!

Yes my name is Aunt Sassy!! I have been trying to teach the girls my name ever since I have got home. And one of them a couple of weeks ago called me Sassy while trying to say my name. And I LOVED it!!! So since then I have been pushing Aunt Sassy.
And they got it down!!
Today I asked them who is Sassy..
and they both pointed to me and said Sassy!!!
:) :)

Last night was my night to make dinner.
And I must say it was super good!! And its so good and there was some left that my sister says we are going to eat it for leftovers tonight.

Crock Pot Santa Fe Weight Watchers Chicken

Servings: 8 servings Size: 1 cup Old Points: 3 pts Points+: 4 pts
Calories: 190 • Fat: 1.5 g • Fiber: 5.6 g • Carbs: 23.1 g • Protein: 21 g
  • 24 oz (1 1/2) lbs chicken breast
  • 14.4 oz can diced tomatoes with mild green chilies
  • 15 oz can black beans
  • 8 oz frozen corn
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 14.4 oz can fat free chicken broth
  • 3 scallions, chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste)
  • salt to taste
Combine chicken broth, beans, corn, tomatoes, cilantro, scallions, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne pepper and salt in the crock pot. Season chicken breast with salt and lay on top. Cook on low for 10 hours or on high for 6 hours. Half hour before serving, remove chicken and shred. Return chicken to slow cooker and stir in. Adjust salt and seasoning. Serve over rice (extra pts) with cheese on top.
And the rice you put it over is called

Lime-Cilantro Rice with Pineapple

  • 1 Cup white rice

  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • Juice from 1 large lime
  • 1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained

  • salt and black pepper to taste
In a large saucepan, combine rice and water. bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and cook for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to stand, covered, for 5 minutes, so rice can absorb more water.
After 5 minutes, add the butter and stir to melt. Add the lime juice, pineapple, and cilantro. Stir to combine, and then add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

We have this rice all the time. And it went perfect with the Crock Pot Santa Fa Chicken.
SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!! and SOOOOO EaZY!!!!!!!!

yummy!!!!!!

We went to the pool today with the girls and had so much fun!!
And I got a tan!! :)

Love,
Aunt Sassy!

What does E.R. mean to me??

What does E.R. mean to me??

  • 4 hours of sitting and waiting
  • 1 i.v drip
  • 1 butterfly needle
  • 4 blood cultures
  • 1 mono test
  • 1 strep test
  • 1 noise swab
  • 1 shot of Rasfin (spelling?)
  • and TONS of blood takin
And in the end, what did they say....
"you might have a virus"
which means "I have no clue whats wrong with you."

So we sit FOREVER!!!!!! in the waiting room and when they finally bring me and my mom back to a room they lead us all the way to the back past 4-6 empty beds and put us in a room with a eye doctors chair!!! It didn't move back or spin or anything. And it was uncomfortable!!! I thought it might be a holding place. But I was wrong. So I finally ask my doctor if i could get moved to a different room with a bed and he said I will see what I can do. So a nurse came in and brought me a bed. Thank goodness cause we were there for like 2 hours. So my nurse (which im glad that he dosen't work in the children's ER cause he had 4 earrings in both ears, tattoos everywhere, a big skull ring, big chain necklace, and smelt like smoke. ) but he was super fast.
So I was sick from monday to tuesday a full week and a day. ugh!!!!!

while I was sick I was playing with the girls when I had a lot of meds in me and I thought it would be funny to put a diaper on my head. My family says im an embarrassment. And I say Im funny. The girls got a kick out of it!!

i couldn't get it to flip. oh well.

looking at this I am so weird!!!
Well here you go. I got to go.
Love, Cassie
ps i guess me being sick is a good thing cause i lost 10 pounds because of it!

I suck at this.

Really I Had a plan....
Write every day on my blog.
That lasted 2 days. Yeah I suck.
Its hard when im home cause im not in my rhythm like I was in Utah. I would always post on my blog after I went to class. But I now everyday is different. Crazy times.
SO my goal this weekend if you remember was to make a height board for the girls and make a playhouse for the backyard for the girls. Neither one of these happened. of course. But I did (or My dad did) buy the wood for the height board. but that is it. I am planing on this weekend cutting it out and sanding it. While my sister, mom, and the girls go up to my Aunt Minda's house for my cousins graduation. I wish I could go but I got to hold down the fort.
On Memorial Day included going to the Wards picnic at a park next to the Mississippi River! I was fun. Me and my sister took the girls for a swim. They LOVED it. But didn't understand the sand under there feet. hahaha.
I loved it!!
Then I went to a movie with Kendall, Wes, and Shelby!! fun night out. :)
So my life is fulled with these little girls!! I love them. But Has made me realized that I am not ready for kids!! I love babysitting them but everyday takes a lot of energy.
But so my sister is packing for the trip and I am going to miss these girls when they are gone. But I will be getting some much sleep!!

well I got to go. I have a job interview!
wish me luck, I might have 3 jobs by the end of this week. lets cross our fingers.

Its monday! :)




its been FOREVER!!!! and i am sorry about that. I have been very busy with finals, moving home, working at the coffee shop, babysitting the girls, cleaning up after the girls, playing with the girls, taking the girls on walks/ bike rides. Cant you tell my life revolves around them??





they LOVE my laptop and pressing the keys. They are walking everywhere and getting into EVERYTHING!!! I love them!!

But anyways two of my very greatest friends are getting married this summer and I wanted to congratulate them! I love you Aly and Meghan!! :)

By the way I will not be getting married anytime soon.

But I love being home but I miss my friends and family in Utah!!

I am still trying to find a second job. But in the mean time I am going to take on some projects around the house. First.....

But I am going to make the pock-a-dots pink and brown to match the girls room. My sister has said she will help me as much as she can. i am way excited to make this for the girls!! :)

Second....
I really want to make this for the girls. Of course I will paint and it wont look exactly like this picture, but hopefully close. And put my design skills on it. :) I really want to do this and my dad said he would help me. But because of my dads back I will be doing most of the building but he will help me get supplies and cut the wood. My sister thinks that the girls are too young for this kind of thing but I dont and Im building it. So she dosent get a say in it. This way when the girls go outside (witch they LOVE) they can go in there playhouse and not play on the grass. :)

Well I got to go and set the table for dinner.

Love, Cassie

my life...

My life lately has been very hectic!! I end school on the 12th of April and I have 3 more essays to write or finish writing for english. I have one paper left for New Testament. I have to make a color board for Textlies. Thank-goodness I only have like 2 ten question quiz's in Pearl of Great Price, and they are easy. And then I have drafting, I have to draft: one floor plan, one kitchen elevation, one bathroom section, a finish schedule, and a RCP (this shows were the lights go and where the switches and outlets go.) this is something that I learned is that the interior designer figures out where all the lights go.
So I haven't even started on any of that and I have 12 days left!!! go thing all my classes are on tuesdays and thursdays so that means i only have 3 and a half day. Most of my teachers have told us not to come on our last day! :)
What else have I done.....
Well I have figured out my rooming for the fall. That was a little hectic. You could ask my mom I called her like 5 times a day it seems like. BUt I am excited where I am moving. It BRAND NEW (like they are building them right now). And it is right across from my school. And it is going to be furnished, washer and dryer in each unit, granite conter tops, brand new energy saving appliances, huge walk in closets, kitchen, living room, fitness center, theater room, close to work and school, and internet and tv. (they give us a plasma tv.) so after saying this I pay $290 now and then in the fall they are raising the price to $310. And at this new place I will be paying $335. So for all of the extra things I just said I will any be paying $25 more. For me its worth it. A lot of people its not. But I am ready to get out of the place. I like it, but the internet SUCKS and I want my own kitchen.
Any ways what else have I done...
Well I was riding the Trax with some of my friends to go to California Pizza Kitchen (my brother gave me a gift card for my birthday and I have been saving it for a special day) any ways. SO we get on the Trax and this homeless guy is sitting on the bench and we are all standing. Well he starts to talk to me. And I being nice talked back. Well he invited me to sit across for him. So I did, so Im not rude. And he asks me all these questions like where Im from and also where I lived. I did not tell him that one. well the right place where I lived. ANd then it was time for us to get off and I told him goodbye and it was nice meeting him. And then he went to shack my hand and I shook back. And then he kissed the top of my hand.........lets say I was freakingout when we got off the Trax and thank goodness my friend had hand sanitizer. Dana is dyeing laughing, she is like crying at this point. Looking back it was funny. But at the moment, no.
Oh I also went to my cousin's baby shower. Congrats Marisa!!! And i loved seeing everyone. And my uncle and my other cousin fixed my tires! And my car. its running great now! I just got to get my oil changed. but i just don't know when with school, homework, and work. But I will figure out something.
So I think that covers it all.

Love Cassie!

Writer Block.

So i am writing a paper about Go Green. And how being "green" has taken over our society. Well I wrote my intro super fast. And then my mind went blank. I have so many ideas, but I dont know where to start. And then its also a research paper sort of. So I have to have 5 sources. And I dont have them and I wont have them till tomorrow when I go to school. So I dont want to start with out them. But then I would only have Wednesday to write it, cause on Thursday we have peer review. But I am have been procrastinating all day today. And I just cant get myself to write it with out the sources. So am I going to write it. I dont think so. It was Laundry day again. I swear it seems like it takes longer and longer every time I do laundry. But today has been a day looking for apartments for me. I am most likely going to stay where I am (where I dont like) or go to this place called the Seasons. Its bran new, like they are building it right now. Granite conter tops, living room, laundry in the unit, brand new appliances, BIG walk-in closets, fitness center, two bathroom two bedroom, plasma tv included, internet/cable included, and fulling furnished. And it is right next to my school. I meen RIGHT next to it. I really like it, but I have to think about it.

So I am so ready to be done with school. I have 4 more weeks of school left and I can wait till Ems, Jared, Mom, and the girls come out!!!!! I am just ready for some parties this summer!!

At weight watcher, after 3 weeks of not going, I forced myself to go. And I gained 1.8. But for three weeks being off of it I thought that that is bad but at least I didn't gain like 5 pounds or something. But I bought I lot of food so that I wont go out to eat somewhere. And I am not going to eat at the Carriage Cafe anymore. For one thing, I ran out of money on my meal plan, the second thing is that its expansive, and its not the best food for me. So I am going to bring my food every day. PB&J anyone!?!?!
YUM!!!
Well Have a great week!!!
Love,
Cassie

Green day!!

So today is Green day, I found this out when I went to school today and I noticed a common color on everyone. Green. Lets just say I forgot. I knew it was this week and I knew it was today, yesterday, but when I woke up this morning it didn't cross my mind. I got dressed, got ready and walk to school. When I walked in to class what was I wearing a purple shirt from The Gap. HAHAHA. It just makes me laugh. But for once I didn't get pinched. I guess thats a plus. Anyways...... today was a good day. I had a good time in my classes and then I Skype with the Girls, jared, and ems. oh and mom in the background. But for some reason they could hear me but I couldn't hear them. weird. it seems like that happens every time. But I LOVED seeing the girls!!!! They were soooooooooooooo cute!! I cant wait to see them in on April 12th!! They are coming out here. Jared, Emilee, Mom, and the Girls are coming out to see me and the fam. And then help me move out of the Plaza (this is where i live now). And then Ems and Jared and the Girls are living the 19th. And then me and Mom will start are drive home. Yes I am coming home for the summer!! I cant wait to see everyone!!! And to be home again. Go to some amazing dance parties. Sleepovers. staying up till the wee hours of the night (even though I do that in college). Oh and did I mention Smallville the latest season (with Kendall!!!). Oh and maybe a trip to Atlanta to vist my much missed family the Stokers!!! Its going to be a great summer fulled with hard work. I am going to have 2 jobs maybe 3 if i can find another one. nanny anyone???????? I'm great with kids!! And I love them to death. Well im off to bed. I cant wait to see all of my Alabama friends!! And to sit on the Blake/Fellows row in church!! haha.

LOVE,
Cassie

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALY!!!!!!

So today is my best friend Aly's birthday! We have known each other since 4th grade. And we have been best friends ever since. We had a couple of hard times. But it made our friendship that much stronger. I love her so much! And she is so amazing and spiritual. She is so close with her Father in Heaven. And he loves her and so do I. Me and Aly have gone many places and eaten many things. (mainly guacamole!) Here are some of the things me and Aly have done together!

We have had many dinners cooked by our moms and both of our houses.
Look how little we are. (this is the Fellows old house)
Tons of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners together!
We went to the Senate metting place (i think thats what this is)
We have been to The Producers, I remember someone had to cover Kent's eyes during some parts.
We played basketball against each other and then in Middle school we played on the same team, but we did practice in the church gym together a couple of times.
Look its proof that Aly did once Love Molly!! haha. I had to throw that one in.
The three amigo's at the Lake House, watching movies.
We love the water!!! But we hate the sunburn after words.
We like to wash cars together.
We were Egyptian once. And this is proof!
We have seen The Lion King, so this is two Broadway musicals we have seen together!!
We love taking pictures of our selves!
We love the beach and yes we have bereid (spelling?) ourselves in the sand.
We have solved a Mystery together.
We have been to New York twice and Chicago once. Oh and we have great friends!
We have sang together, MANY times!
We have been in 4 musicals together. And we have a secret, to help us sleep when we are backstage.
And we have made it through Elementary School, Middle School (that was rough), and High School!!

I love you Aly and have the best day ever!!!!!!!

Love,
Cassie

Sunday! :)

If you didn't know today is SUnday! The best day of the week! I love Sunday!! Its a day where I can relax and think about my week. and the week to come. I love Sunday because I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! I am Mormon!! Yesterday me and my co-worker, Whitney!, were talking about me being a Mormon. Whitney has lived in Utah all her life and is now going to Utah University. She does know about Mormons but she was just asking questions about certain thing. Its was a really good talk. I loved it! And we both learned a lot. So today I wanted to bear my testimony of this church.

I will start it out like how we start it out in my singles ward.

Hi, my name is Cassie Blake and I am from Alabama and this is my second semester her at the LDS Business College. I know that this church and this gospel is the truth! I know that family can be together forever. I know that I will be able to see my loved ones who have already passed on again. I know that the Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of the Lord just like Moses and Noah was. I know that Thomas S. Monson is called of God and that he is the prophet of this time and age. I know that the Lord will answer your prayers. If you ask the Lord with complete faith in him he will answer. I know that the Holy Ghost is always with us. He will let us know when things are right and wrong. I love living next to the Temple. the Temple is a great and wonderful place where you can talk to God and he can let you know what to do or just let you know he is there for you. I love living right next to Temple Square. Walking around temple square is so peaceful. You are able to here the sprit, even though out side the walls is a big city with all its noise. I love my family and I am grateful for all of the support that they and my friends give me. I know that I am a daughter of God. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Today the Fellows, my second family, is here visting Aly, one of my best friends who is attending BYU. They came down and went to Music and the Spoken Ward (this is a program that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir put on every Sunday morning) and then they are going to go to church with me. And I am going to sing today at church. I am so excited to see them! And to see Aly. I haven't seen her since Christmas. I cant wait to show them my school. If you didn't know LDC Business College is just one building that had 10 floors. I LOVE it!!!!!!!! The class sizes are small and its is the middle of everything in Salt Lake City. Perfect location!!


Also if you have been wondering about my Weight Watcher Journey and why I haven't posted about it in two weeks, well thats because I have not been good about counting my points each day. And I haven't weighed in because of that. But I have made a promise that I am going to be a lot better this week. So yeah.

Well after church and staying by to the Fellows. I am going to go to my Aunt Di's house where I am going to have some great food and have some great time hanging out with my aunt, my uncle, and my cousins!! We will watch the amazing show the Amazing Race. And talk a lot about everything.

Love,
Cassie

P.S. Dana left me and again this weekend to see her new nephew. But lets just stay I am taking it a lot better then last week. last week I stayed in my room the whole time. But so far I have stayed up with some new friends till 3 in the morning and I have gone to the Temple on a Temple Trip and I went out for Ice Cream with a huge group and had tone of Fun.

I suck at photoshop!

Ok I haven't wrote in a week and I need to get back on track. So earlier this week I changed my background on my laptop to a picture of me and Madelyn. I LOVE this picture!!!!! By the way if you make it on my background of my laptop you are truly loved by me. It gets changed like once a week cause I want to see all of my old friends and remember some loved memories. Well back to the picture of me and Madelyn, we booth had really bad red eyes, so I decided that I was going to fix that. Well instead I deleted Madelyn's eye. And in the frantic moment I saved it and clicked the Xon the top of the window cause I couldn't look at it. Well there was know way to change it back so this picture was ruined. But it was still my background with both eyes on Madelyn's face. I tried seeing if I could save it as a picture, but no good. So I cant get myself to change my background because otherwise the picture with both eyes will be gone. Heres the pic.

Its so sad. :(

On a happier note I finished "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lighting Theft" so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yesterday I read it from 5pm-1am. I loved it!!!! I couldn't get myself to stop cause I knew I was so close to being done. I cant wait to read the next book in the series. Who would have figured that I would have said the I LOVE READING!!!! This is crazy. Its like I need to e-mail all my English teachers and say hey I started reading in college and I love it! Thanks Aunt Ju!!!! your the best.

I love living so close the my family out here. For once I feel like they are my family not just people we come and see when we come to Utah. I love my Aunt Di and Aunt Ju, they feed me on Sundays and let me watch some TV. Its crazy for once my Aunt Ju's kids, my cousins, remember my name and remember who I am. I dont have to tell them who I am and them being like all shy cause they dont know me. And for once I feel like my cousins Lu and Mal, Aunt Di's kids, think of my as a friend. I love them so much! They might see me and a 13 year old like they used to, but I dont think they do anymore. Just the way we hang out and talk. I love playing Michel Jackson with them and watching The Amazing Race. Lives good!

Love, Cassie

Textiles!!

So I am taking a class called Textiles and we learn everything you can about fabrics. The fibers, yarns, threads, the different kind of fabrics. Well one of the assignments was to weave some different weaves. We did this on little weaving cards. It first It was hard but then it got easier as the time went by. Well I got them back on Thursday adn I forgot about them untill I looked thought my backpack this morning. So here they are.

This is a Plain weave, the EASIEST!!
This is the basket weave, easy also
this is the sateen weave, this one took awhile for it to process in my head but I got it.
This is the Satin weave the opposite of the Sateen weave, harder also.
This is the twill weave easy, well after I figured out that it is best to count, (2 over 2 under)
The Herringbone, this one was also difficult, but I just counted out the pattern and I got it.

I got called into work today, :( so no church for me) but what can I do. Its Utah everyone is Mormon, so we have to have a rotation system. And I haven't work for 2 months on a sunday, so my time is up.
