{{needed to give ya'll an updated image of kasey in all her glory

&

rumor has it , her crown is indeed front & center on the mantle}}

The other day I received this fabulous necklace in the mail....made by Mimi Charmante given away at one of the plethora of blog giveaways over at Kasey's.

& I got to thinking~~

our favorite blogger, Kasey truly is the Blog Homecoming Queen.

So I officially nominated her & i'm pleased to tell you that at friday's home game

she was indeed crowned!!

Four Reasons why Kasey will make a fabulous homecoming queen

~First of all she takes fabulous photos....therefore our yearbook this year will be like none before!


~Secondly, she is an incredible party planner ( or thrower of soiree's as she likes to refer to them--which basically means there's a greater ratio of fine wine to beer) .....therefore we will have a rocking junior senior prom!


~Thirdly, with her finger on the pulse of current hip fashion, she will represent us with style & flair.



~& Finally & most important, Kasey is a generous friend to all.

even the varsity parkview cheerleaders got in on the excitement & support of Kasey.

{{ KC/ Kasey--please tell me you get it

we didn't have enough poms to spell kasey}}



In all seriousness

I wanted to just take a second & thank Kasey.

A couple of weeks ago I was having a really yucky day

Kasey & I got to talking...ie--emailing like we frequently do

&
her tongue in cheek humor had me laughing through my frustrated tears.

i've told her before that i think she's a rock star

that if she lived closer i'd hog her & make her hang with me all the time

& even though she currently drives a mini -van,

she's still super cool since at one time she did drive a bug

she's even ok with the fact

that i have an unhealthy covet thing working towards her home and her wardrobe.

that's my girl kasey

i know its so much easier to re-create ourselves on our blogs

to put on our make up, smile pretty, show our best side

photograph our homes when they're tidy

share our children's accomplishments

we should enjoy these things

nothing wrong with this

however

how we appear to our online friends can

sometimes differ from how we appear to those who see us every day

who see us when we drop the ball

miss the meeting

say the wrong thing

forget a friend's birthday

underdress to a formal wedding at high noon ( yep, that's very embarassing)

gain 10 lbs

who see us when our mascara is smeared because we're teary after an argument

or are dealing with a husband's infidelity

who hear that our teenager was drunk at a party

or didn't make the squad because of grades

who know what our home is really like

who see how we handle life's challenges
who see how respond

right there

on the spot

live & in color

my goal is that who i say i am online

is the same person you run into at target

the same person who has fears & insecurities

who does need to loose 10 lbs

whose hubby hasn't cheated but will hug you & pray for you if yours did

who doesn't want to judge others but honestly does struggle with it

& is praying for mercy

who does have a critical spirit

but praying that it softens

who has lonely days

&

who is desperatlely trying to be real

kasey

thank you for being real

you are my homecoming queen
