Our 2nd anniversary this year fell on a Monday. If you're following along with my posts you have already seen that we spent the weekend celebrating the marriage of Vic and Jason! We both worked on Monday and when I came back from work we planned a nice dinner out. There were flowers waiting for me and in our true style....instead of a card... Chris bought me an US weekly magazine, got to love him! We tried a new restaurant in town called Bella Vita, obviously Italian, everything was great.
We decided a day together with maybe some spa services was way better than gifts; so that will be coming up sometime soon. Here is my sneaky way of seeing how often my own hubs checks in to read the blog....I have a little extra something up my sleeve for our anniversary...a late gift you could say. We'll see how long it takes him to start questioning me about it, don't tell!
On another note, we finally heard from the camera doctor. They had told us we would have to submit the camera FOUR TIMES before they would consider it a lemon and let us buy a new one. We were only on round two. They called earlier this week and let us know they will be giving an in store credit towards the purchase of a new camera. Happy day! I loved, loved, loved our camera, it took great quality photos for a point and shoot and was nice and compact enough for taking anywhere. Although I am always on the look out for good deals to get a DSLR camera too and Chris took that as I really wanted a DSLR not my point and shoot to begin with. Either way, I'm still undecided but chances are we are going to use the credit and upgrade to an even better camera. I'm pretty excited! Not sure yet if it's going to be a DSLR or another point and shoot. We'll see, either way keep an eye out for some better photos to return to the blog! I promise!

Queen Victoria for the Day! 09.24.11
Okay, so she didn't act like a needy queen or diva on the big day. Instead Victoria the was the cool, calm and collected Vic I love! September 24th Vic married her soul mate Jason! It was such an honor to be standing (rather sitting in this church) at their side on the big day.
Everything about the weekend was perfect! After the rehearsal on Friday night we all met at Seven Seas for dinner, best broiled fish ever! So good! The day of the wedding we met with a slight challenge... unpredictable rain... or maybe it was predictable but it was a pain in the butt and a pain in my hairdo! We were able to sneak a few outside shots at the golf course after the ceremony, just enough misty rain to ruin a girls hair! I digress...
The reception was decorated beautifully in purple and green and the cake was to die for! I posted a picture below and thought about taking a picture of the cut piece so you could see all the delicious goodies inside but that meant putting the fork down and that wasn't an option!

My favorite picture of the weekend!

Congratulations again to Vicky and Jason as they embark on what is sure to be a wonderful life together! Love you two! Cheers!

Time Warner Cable 5K
Okay...So I'm a week behind but September 17th marked the one year anniversary a good friend of ours was in a horrible accident while out hunting that led to him losing both his legs. In honor of Rich, Autumn and Annessa a bunch of us ran/walked the Appleton Time Warner Cable 5k.
One year later Rich did just as he set out to do and was back in the woods hunting. More than anything this walk was to support his family. They are all so strong and as emotional a day this would be for Rich it is just as emotional for them to once again say goodbye and send him out to woods and hope for the best. Their families strength is the kind of strength that just blows you away and you can only dream that if faced with such turmoil that you could equally be as strong.
During the walk Rich's wife Autumn received an awesome text, Rich got a doe! Not only that, but later in the day we were all told he also shot another 8 pointer! Congrats to Rich on such a successful hunting trip and congrats to Autumn on yet another wonderful piece of "artwork" to be hung in your beautiful industrial home...you're so lucky! ;)

Camera Update...
I got my camera back in time to snap a few pictures for Jacki's baby shower but as it turned out...it was doing that same thing as it was before we took it in to be fixed.
So back to the doctor it went, I'm not happy at all. Chris checked into what the lemon policy is and we would have to try and have it fixed FOUR TIMES! Four! Unbelievable!

Every Last Drop
Chris and I have been busy sucking up every last drop of summer we possibly can!
Labor Day is around the corner and as far as we are concerned that is the official kick off to the fall. Our favorite time of the year! Fall is Wisconsin means we get awesome tailgating weather for the Brewers games, perfect weather to be jammed in like sardines at a Packers game, great temperature for a light jacket out on the golf course soaking in the colors of fall to come, and for Mr. Casey....it means starting to do some online research for new ice fishing gear. If I've listed it above, we've done it in the last two weeks and then some, like also throw a baby shower for my lovely sister Jacki (Check out the bump it's adorable!)
WARNING: MAJOR PICTURE OVERLOAD!!! I'm going to try and get them in chronological order but everything happened so quickly it's all a big blur!
Mom and I at the Brewers game with Dad, Chris and the BSI annual outing. Perfect day for a game and perfect win to add to the books! The Brew Crew is on fire this year!!!
Saturday Chris left for a good friends wedding and golf, golf and more golf! The picture below is from a golf outing he played in on Monday. Looks like a pretty normal picture until you realize the guys are broken off into pairs with their arms around each other! So cute boys, so cute!
I on the other hand stayed in Waukesha for Vicky's Bachelorette Party! Here's the group at dinner after our refreshing day at the spa!
This was the home opener for the Packers 2011-2012 season. Dad drove up and since Chris was out of town camping with friends I got the pleasure of joining my Pops. Eat your heart out Christopher!
And lastly, the real picture overload in case you have not had enough, Jacki's Baby Shower! The weather was perfect...because duh...it's almost fall! The food was wonderful and everything ran super smooth! Mom and I were in charge of party favors, games and the salad. I don't have any pictures of the salad but trust me when I saw my mother did it flawlessly! She helped me out with making the party favors as well. As you'll see below they are cake ball lollipops turned upside down in a flower pot made to look like a blooming flower. Underneath is a packet of sweet basil seeds for the guests to plant and grow....just like baby Ella!
Hello adorable little belly!
Jacki and all the hostess's with the MOSTess's
The women of the Wendorf household! Or at least we all were until I became a Casey!
Garden of Cake Balls!
Plant these seeds and watch them bloom, just like Ella who will be here soon!

From Bad, To Worse
I got the new battery in for my phone! Only to find it's not the battery, it's my camera!
Chris brought it in to see the doctor and there it has to stay now for 12-15 days. This is a very long time without my camera, tear :( This is one of the reasons I need a better cell phone so I can still take some somewhat good pictures.
Bah-humbug!@&*%#$!

Miss Victoria...Soon-to-be!
Well, I'm dying here....my camera battery died, therefore...I'm losing my mind and feeling very uncomfortable without a camera at hand! We sent in for a replacement battery which should be arriving any day now. (Yes, I know I can just go to the store and buy a new one, much faster, but the battery was under warranty and we are getting a new one for free, we're cheap!)
So when I attended my camera-shy friend Vicky's bridal shower at the end of July, things turned out for the better for her! But, luckily her mom was camera in tow and all it took was some facebook friending and WA-LA...Vic's bridal shower! There was a super cute purse theme! Cuddo's to them for such a fun idea. The favors were little purses filled with her "purse-onal" favorites, the centerpieces were arrangements inside of old purses that winners of the games got to take home and all the games were centered around purses. Very Cute!
Vicky will be marrying an old friend of mine from middle school! His name is Jason and although we had lost touch once leaving to different high schools I for sure knew who he was when Vic told me who she was going on a date with. Or as Vic likes to think, their first three dates weren't really dates! Whatever! As honored as I was to have Vic as my maid-of-honor in my wedding, I'm just as honored to be standing up with her as she marries the love of her life!
Here are a few snap shots from the shower, stolen from her mom, grrrr!!
Vic(Black) and her sister Kate(Pink)
All of the bridesmaids!
