jerk.com

You know its been a while since you blogged if you go to post something and they have totally reformatted the blog posting process and it prolly happened 6 weeks ago...woops!

I love you faithful readers, if I have any left...are you out there?

I feel the desperate need to do a photo drop from my iphone, but I have a meeting in a bit and don't have the time to download the pics and add captions, so I thought I would tell you a funny story to tide you over, until maybe this weekend when I can do a life update.

So, on Monday my mom calls me, this is our conversation:

Mom: Hey Kasey, why are you on jerk.com?

K (Me): What are you talking about?

Mom: I was trying to read your blog, so I googled "kasey berry blogspot" and a link came up to a profile on jerk.com.
K: Mom, I'm not on jerk.com. What is it anyways?
Mom: I don't know, you're the one with a profile on it. I'm reading it and it says, "Hi, I'm Kasey.  I'm 28 years old. I love kids, I love my family, I love Jesus.  I'm a Preschool Minister."

K: Mom, I don't know what it is, but it's not me.

Mom: Kasey, how many 28 year old preschool ministers named Kasey do you think there are?
(by this time I have googled "kasey berry blogspot" and found the link she was referring to)

K: Mom, I'm not really sure what this site is, but it's not me.  It looks like it's just a generic profile for someone named Kasey Berry.  It doesn't have a picture.  What they have done is linked some websites that include the name Kasey Berry, which of course my blog does.  So, I don't think its anything to worry about.

Mom: Ok, well, I just wasn't sure.

K: Why would you think I would be on jerk.com anyways?

Mom: Well, I just wasn't sure if it was some kind of online dating service or something.

K: WHAT?  YOU THINK I WOULD BE ON AN ONLINE DATING SERVICE CALLED JERK.COM? WHAT KIND OF A GUY DO YOU THINK I WOULD MEET ON JERK.COM?

Mom: I don't know, that's why I was calling.  I was going to suggest that you consider something like Christian Mingle, I've been hearing a lot about it lately.

K: Oh really, what have you heard?

Mom: Well, I've seen commercials.
K: Thanks mom, I'll keep that in mind, in the mean time, I'm not on jerk.com.

In case any of you are worried, no I'm not on jerk.com or Christian Mingle for that matter.  Hope you got a kick out of the fact that my mom thought I was looking for a date on jerk.com.  Also, let's take this opportunity to open the floor to thoughts on online dating.  I'd love to hear any stories you have, successes or failures...is it worth it, which ones are best?  I've opened the door, so sound off, comments welcome.

Rodeo 2012

Had a fabulous time hitting the rodeo for the 7th year in a row! Of course we ate and ate and ate some more as the pictures indicate. We also saw some animals, shopped a little and enjoyed the rodeo events like chuck wagon races, calf scramble & my personal favorite, mutton bustin'! We were a bit disappointed with the Eli Young Band concert, but overall had an awesome time!

...February...

Last time I talked to you, I told you what was coming up.  I guess now I owe you an update.  Well, the first week of February I spent a few days in Utah!  Had a FAB-U-LOUS time skiing and LOVING on my Sloanie! She is an absolute doll!!! Soooo happy allllll of the time.  She just laughs & giggles and babbles...to. die. for!  Here are some pics from my weekend in Salt Lake:

Going to church! Toooo cute!

 Gettin' the hang of it at ski school! Fun sister times!

Had to get some pics with Sloanie in the snow!

 My little snow bunny!

Sooo happy!

 Baldy!

Last weekend I headed to Waco for Sing! Such fun times with Katy, Brady, Kristy & Ash!  We took a few pics that weren't that good, but the best ones were at the photo booth they had set up! The kids loved it!  I also got to go to a little performance of Bradley (3 yrs old) singing at his school.  Then I had lunch with Blake...I'm an equal opportunity Aunt, trying to spend time with each of the kiddos.

Bradley singin', he's the one in the red & black striped shirt.

Such a sweetie!

I think they were singing about building a house?

Love my Bradley boy!

All 5 of us @ Sing! Kristy, Ash, Brady, Me, Katy

Bub & Brady bein' crazy!

 

 Cuties!

 Future Bears!

On Saturday I had breakfast with Kristy's family and then got to see Ash play in her basketball game! I can honestly say she was the MVP, as she scored 6 points, and the score was 6-0.  Yeah, she was the only person to score, on either team! Proud Aunt right here!

As usual the month has flown by! Things are busy with our church's D-Now weekend, Spark, this weekend.  I'm hosting a group at my house and I'm in charge of 2 Back Yard Bible Clubs on Saturday that the Spark participants will help with, there will be an estimated 200 kids there...but other than that it should be quiet weekend, ha!

In case I don't check in before then, happy leap day on Feb 29th! Do something special with your "extra" day!

...goings on...

I just had a minute, so I thought I would drop in and say "hi."

Here's some of what's going on:

Tonight I'm headed to: 









Tomorrow is my mom's birthday! Happy Birthday, mom!

This weekend is a big launch weekend for our new Devoted Hearts & Homes emphasis! Excited to see what God is going to do!

Next Thursday I'm headed to SLC to see Kelly, Brandon & SLOANIE!!!! AND we're going skiing for 2 days!!!

 Then in mid Feb I'm headed to Waco for SING with 2 of my sisters and 1 niece and 1 nephew! Here's our pic from last year:

Then that same weekend my church is celebrating its 50th Anniversary!

And the following weekend I'm hosting a group at my house for our church's D-now, SPARK!

So, you can see, things are BUSY!!!  In the midst of that its time to start thinking about VBS! Yikes!

Nice knowing you! Hope you enjoyed these 2 posts 2 weeks in a row...who knows when that will happen again! I'll try my hardest to do updates of all of these goings on...but I can't make any promises!

Have a blessed one!

...iPhone dump...

Sorry for my extended absence.  I feel like I say that every time...sigh...

Anywho, I know we all love pics, so here is an iPhone dump to give you a little taste of what I've been up to for the past 2 months.  Sorry they aren't in order...just deal!

My 2 year old niece, Macie, showing off the Toms I got her for her birthday while we were in Corpus at my parent's house for Christmas.

   

Bradley loving on his cousin Sloanie!

 

Yes, I tried the Spicy Ketchup @ Whataburger.  Like it, don't love it...changes the flavor too much.

  

My parents with 3 of their grandkids on Christmas Eve at our Home Church.

  

6 out of the 7 of my nieces & nephews on Thanksgiving day after they did the annual Cousin Parade and 1st ever reenactment of the 1st Thanksgiving! 

Celebrating my birthday with Jamie @ Cheesecake Factory! 

 

These precious kiddos from church came to my house on the hunt for their Gingerbread Man! He had run away from their house.  They had gone to 3 or 4 other houses looking for their run away felon, when they found him at MY house! We had to eat his legs to make sure he didn't run off again!

Canton weekend with my girls!!!! AWESOME get away!  Yes, go ahead, laugh, I'm wearing a travel belt...but it's SOOOOOoooo practical on long shopping days like that!

I got a sewing machine for Christmas...who thinks I'll have any clue how to use it by next Christmas?

All ready for our Baylor Alamo Bowl watching party (yes, that's a Baylor watch you see on my wrist!)

Waiting at the airport with a special sign to greet Kelly & Sloane when they returned to Texas from Utah!

Cute cousins getting ready for the Thanksgiving Cousin Parade.

During our girls weekend we headed up to McKinney to see Kendi's shop! I made the girls take a pic with her even though they were super embarrassed!

The boys LOVED "babysitting" Sloane, and she LOVED them!

The day before I left for Thanksgiving, Rebecca and I ran around town and ran a few errands...and happened to be by Crave cupcakes, we had no choice but to stop in and get one!

I just returned from a 2 day retreat with the entire Ministry staff @ Tallowood! Let's just say we love to play together, but that doesn't mean it doesn't get competitive!

Sweet Sloanie using the blanket I got her for Christmas!

That's a pretty good wrap up! Here's to hoping I blog again soon!

Happy 2012!

...nablopomo???

You may or may not have noticed that I didn't post yesterday, which was the first day of November, which is the first day of NaBloPoMo.  This is the first year in several years that I missed a day.  I'm not sure that I'm going to do it...just not feelin' it, but I thought I would go ahead and post today and see if it turns into me posting more this month?  We'll see.

This isn't much of a post, but to make up for it, here are a few pics from the 4th annual Jr. Staff Hallowii party and Trunk or Treat at my church!

Incase you're having trouble telling, I was Kate Middleton.  It didn't come across as strongly as I had hoped :(, but if you look closely I do have a replica of the heirloom ring, which is iconic!  I promise to do better next year and live up to this costume!

In true Kasey fashion, I was a ladybug...too bad you can't see my cute polka dot tights!

Happy NaBloPoMo!
