One year ago today, on Pioneer Day, i went to the Lewis home in Highland, UT and opened a geneology book that i recognized as the same one i used to look at growing up in my home in California. I quickly found the picture of my grandparents, of my great aunt Mary (shes so cute and like 4'5" and mexican) and a bunch of other relatives that i recognized. A few pages over were Caseys grandparents, and Caseys great uncles, and records of his parents.
You see, i met Casey through a friend of mine, and we discovered we both have the last name and we both knew we had the same ancestor...Frederick Neriah Jr. And so proving our theory of us being related, or atleast finding out HOW we were related was important, and so the Spirit of Elijah made it so that we would find out on Pioneer Day. How fitting is that?
this is the first cousins pictures from Pioneer Day, last year. 7/24/07
Over the last year Casey (Cuz or Cuzzy) & I, have grown to be quite the set of pals. He is one of the only people in my life who will tell me my joke wasn't funny, my date was a tool, my hair looks bad, or that im being annoying...
Visiting Time Square in NY with the Cuz this past June
i threw Casey a surprise party last year for his birthday, HE WAS SO SURPRISED. It was one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed.
we are really attractive people
dance parties
80s dancing
birthday presents
last summer i was rolling out fondant for a birthday cake with a vase as a rolling pin and Casey was over hanging out when the vase crumbled beneath the pressure i was putting on it and sliced my hand open. He took me to the ER and sat in my room with me for like 5 hours or something ridiculous. My thumb is faulty, makes for difficult peace signs now.
here is the aftermath with the stitches
Love you Casey, you be my best friend, ok? (Glad you're my eternal cuzzy)
---i would also like to give a shout out to Alyssa, Blake and David, who are Cuzzys as well. ----
