Thankful

I am thankful for all the meaningful relationships in my life: a loving boyfriend, an amazing and extremely supportive family, and for wonderful friends. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Moments.

Some moments from life lately.  Life has been busy, a tad hectic, yet so fun at the same time.  I catch myself trying to sit back and enjoy the little things more than ever lately- the good conversations, the smiles and laughter, the early morning cuddles, the rooms that are full of family, the sunsets etc.  It's all the good stuff.  (Looking forward to a semi relaxing, semi packing and purging weekend ahead!)

Lots of Lovely

As we transition from summer to fall, I have a bunch of cozy, happy and amazing on my mind!  The best time of year is rolling in and it makes me smile just thinking of all the lovely ordinary and fun times ahead.  The air is turning cooler, football is in full swing and the holidays are just around the corner.  Life is good.

What I have on mind/ am loving lately:

Outdoor fire time in the crisp fall air!

Chunky scarves make me happy (scarves in general make me happy, haha)

Warm coffee on a brisk morning.

Glitter!

Perfect holiday party dress :)

I just finished up my birthday week!  I LOVE birthdays and I am so very thankful to have a loving boyfriend, family and wonderful bestie!  I felt incredibly loved and special this week.  The birthday festivities started on my actual humpday bday.  My handsome boyfriend took me to eat at Liberty Kitchen and Oyster Bar!  This restaurant had been on my must go list for a while and it was so worth the wait!  The seafood was AMAZING and so fresh.  They are known for their smoked salmon....they literally smoke it daily over a hanging cedar plank and just cut chunks off as people order it.  It was fab.  So of course I had to take some pics of the yummy food.

Smoked Salmon appetizer.....a MUST!

Boiled Shrimp

My dinner...the market fish, pan seared red fish!!

Our half eaten raspberry and white choc bread pudding!

At dinner my honey handed over my birthday gift....these gorgeous bracelets!  So pretty!!

Love them!



Birthday flowers...make me smile

On Friday we celebrated with family.  My parents and Blake's mom Tory joined us for a birthday dinner at Max's Wine Dive.  Max's is another of my fav place's here in Houston.  It's great wine paired with comfort food.  I absolutely love their champagne chicken salad...mmmm....paired with a glass (or 2...) of rose!  I am one lucky girl to be so loved.  My parents and Tory were so wonderful to get me great gifts and to be there to celebrate with me.  I love nothing more than family bonding time!  And my sweet honey is such a trooper for making it out that night even though he has been under the weather. 

Love his baby blues.



Tory, Mom and Dad

 After dinner Blake and I met up with my bestie/ roomie and Joe for drinks!  Once again, shout out to my honey who hung out while he sipped on a cola :)  We chatted and laughed over drinks....the perfect birthday outing. 

Mel and Joe!

A little blurry but our only group shot

On Saturday the four of us headed out to watch the Sooners beat the Longhorns!!!!  Victory!  I loved topping my birthday weekend off with a Sooner win, nothing sweeter :) 

An aggie cheering for the sooners!  Yeah for tradition!

All in all 28 has been great so far!  Thanks to my sweet family and lovely friends for making me feel special. 

I love you all.

We finished off the weekend by relaxing and buying our first pumpkin together, haha.  Fall is in the air!  Good things ahead...Casey xo

Dad's 65th Birthday

My daddy turned the big 6-5 a few weeks ago!  And if you ask me he doesn't look a day over 50 :)  In order to celebrate we went out as a family to Blue Fish here in Houston for some fabulous sushi!  We had an amazing time reminiscing over drinks and great fish.  I am very blessed to have such a wonderful and supportive father!  Love you Dad!

Happy Birthday Dad!

Good lookin couple :)

Having a blast celebrating my daddio

The Walker Boys

In other news, there has been a lot a fall football watching happening around here!  And I am one happy girl now that it actually feels like fall outside!  Nothing better than Saturday mornings baking pumpkin pancakes with college gameday on in the background.  Love this fabulous time of year!  Have a great week!  xo Casey

Woodrows for some game watching...
