The Best Of....

No, not the best of The High Tide, but the best of Kassie Amber Stewart(Kleifgen)'s life.

(me)

No, i'm not jumping off the edge of the earth, or dying or anything, 

But there were a lot of great times that were had before this blog was born, and I believe some credit is due.

 These memories have shaped me

(warning, there are a lot of pictures)

I challenge you to listen to this amazing song while reading...

Some of my fondest memories....

My first dog, Buffy

My first dance recital, with a woman who ended up being like my 2nd mom, RIP Bev

Great times with good friends

Meeting/dating the love of my life

My amazing dance company, Encore

Getting Engaged

Our little baby

ANDDD the happiest day of my life

Looking through these photos was like a timeline of my most treasured moments in life. There are many more moments that I think of frequently, and always bring a smile to my face, like these ones, that I left out. 

Consider this an electronic photo album of my life up until now. 

I will never forget these memories.

And I can't wait to see the memories that are in store for the future!

<3

What are your happiest times?

K.A.S.

In exactly one week from today my name will be Mrs. Kassie Stewart. Which means my initials will of course be K.A.S. How awesome is that? Wow, I can't believe it is one week until the wedding. I am so excited to officially be married and start to plan things again. Right now, and for forever its been "I'll worry about it after the wedding", "I will make the decision after the wedding" over and over again. Which is great for now! but once the wedding has happened and we have gone on our amazing Disney vacation, we will be able to make decisions and think about other important things again like....deciding where to move, and what to do with life. Yes I said it, where to move. The options are endless. 


But first, I am so excited for the first night with my 'husband' <3 Even though he is already my husband at heart.


As "the 4th" is just around the corner, my favorite holiday, and I am now FINALLY 21!, life is like a raft in the rapids; moving so quickly, yet so fun. The one night everyone waits for their whole drawn out life is over in such a short amount of time. It was a fantastic conclusion to looking forward to birthdays. 

Vegas = unbelievable 

So many exciting things happening at once.

I have also decided that I am going to kinda make my blog a crafting blog. I will do random unique crafts and designs (mostly to home decor) and blog about it.....after the wedding of course. But for real, we will see how that goes. I have taken a strong interest in the matter. 

I also think my travel bone has been re-enhanced. I am willing to go anywhere at (almost) anytime to see the beautiful world. I am pretty sure my heart would stop beating if I ever came across a place like this.....

pure beauty

Tell me about a place that you have been that was so pretty it literally took your breath away. I want to be there. In the light wind with the salt and humidity in my hair, or in a winter jacket and boots with the stillness in my breath. I want to see it all.

I'm better than a real world quest.

First off, I'd like to introduce you to me with no braces.....

Yes, after the double re-constructive jaw surgery that I have been wanting since I was ten and finally got about a year ago, AND lots and lots of work before and after it, it has finally paid off. 

Not only do I not have headaches every.single.day, and no longer does my jaw click or ache in pain constantly, but my confidence level has risen from about a 30% to a 75%.  Wild eh?

On another good note, the Snoop has been MUCH much better with the potty training.

Not to mention he's huge now!

and oh so very cute (yes I am slightly obsessed with my dog)

:D

NOW

....for something I have never ever done before...

I am going to post a little snippet of something I am writing that will be used for something someday....or not.

Probably not, but anyway....

After about 20 minutes of sitting in class and taking the exam, (the kid with the red and black converse with green shoelaces had an extra score sheet, no surprise there) I remember the missed calls and voicemails.  I immediately get so distracted I have no chance of getting anything more than a 61% on the test.  I’m sorry different types of crystallizing minerals in Arizona.  Your sweet knowledge will have to wait. I wiggle my phone out of my pocket and open it half inside my pocket, and half out like a ninja.  I’m so used to this now I hardly remember what my full key pad looks like.

.......(stuff in between here)........

 “Miss Ross I see your phone is out so you must be finished with your test, bring me your scan score sheet please.”

Shit.  Not ninja enough.

so anyway back to whats new in real life.

The 21st bday is in about a month....VEGAS!

 and the wedding is about in a month.....LOTS TO DO!

I can't stop thinking about the last episode of Breaking Bad that I watched

and random...but about ever two to three weeks or so I get re-obsessed with this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urNyg1ftMIU

I kinda wish this video was my life, substituting the people for my own friends/family of course

She's hotter than reality by far....

and so our story begins.........
