Once again, I am linking up with Kelly's Korner for another "Show Us Your Life" series. Today's topic is a blogger connect for "Single Bloggers Over 30"...that's me!
Howdy! My name is Casey & I am new to this whole blogging thing. I have wanted to start a blog for a long time, but never knew what I would write about since I am not married & don't have kiddos to post cute photos of. A little over a month ago, I decided what the heck & started a blog...even if no one ever reads it. But, I would love for you to follow me. Hello...I ONLY have 3 followers...how sad is that?!?! =) The title of my blog: Faith, Football & Fairy Tales came to me one day & instantly I knew it was PERFECT! No, my life isn't a fairy tale, but I do believe in them...I just haven't found my "happily ever after" yet.
I was born & raised in the great state of Texas. I live in a small town that still has parades thru downtown several times a year & where practically every one in the town goes to the high school football game on Friday night. And I LOVE it! I recently sold my first home & am about to begin construction on my new house in the next few months. For now, I am living back at home with my parents...which is always interesting when you are 34!
As much as I love living in a small town, I still love to travel to the big cities {especially ones in the north in the winter}. I often question why I live in Texas because I HATE the heat. And lets face it, it's hot about 10 months out of the year here. I have traveled to Chicago, Washington DC, & New York City to name a few. NYC is by far my favorite place to travel. I am headed there again this December for the 7th time...there is nothing more magical than New York City at Christmastime.

I am a graduate of Texas A&M University, Class of 2001. Whoop! I LOVE football, especially Aggie football. I am really enjoying our recent move to the SEC {the BIG game is this weekend...BTHO bama!!}. These football road trips are WAY more fun than Austin, Waco & Lubbock. I have a group of lady friends who love Aggie football as much as I do so we hope to travel to as many SEC schools as possible over the next few years. Last year, we went to the A&M/Ole Miss game {tailgating in the Grove was an awesome experience} & to the Cotton Bowl. This year, we are headed to the A&M/Arkansas game at the end of the month & to the A&M/LSU game in November. We are thinking Alabama & Auburn in 2014. I. CANNOT. Wait.
I have been blessed with an amazing family. I am the "middle child" & only girl; I have an older brother & a younger brother. I have a nephew & niece who I adore and love spending time with. Sleepovers at Aunt Casey's are always fun. I may or may not allow my niece to eat chocolate in bed, at midnight, while watching Disney Junior. =) I have equally amazing friends. I am still friends with my 2 best friends from elementary school...we have been friends for 25+ years!! How cool is that?!?
Thanks for stopping by & Gig'em!
Stopping by from KK but I have to say (if you look at my blog title) that I am a Roll Tide girl! lol I am just hoping for a great game Saturday and I'm kinda scared! lol I hvaen't visited NYC but I most certainly hope to and there is no other time that I would want to go than Christmas! And on another note, at the end of this year, I'm moving from PHX to Austin! Heck, even I might embrace A&M - when they aren't playing Bama of course!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! Unfortunately I don't have tickets to the game tomorrow {I just can't part with $350+ for a ticket, but am heading up in the morning to tailgate & soak up the atmosphere. I think it's going to awesome! I too am hoping for a good game...and a win would certainly be nice! :) Good luck with your move to Austin & welcome to Texas!
DeleteGreat to find your blog via Kelly's Korner today. Have a fantastic weekend! I'll be huddled inside watching my DAWGS play tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by! Plan a trip to NYC ASAP...you will LOVE it!! :)
DeleteCame over from the linkup! I just took my first trip to NYC last year and now I'm obsessed. Going back at Christmastime is definitely on my list.
ReplyDeleteI went for the first time in 2002 & fell in love with the city! Everything about it is amazing. You should definitely plan to go back at Christmastime...it truly is magical! Check back at the end of December...I'll be posting lots of pics from my next trip.
