Day 2-The Meaning Behind my Fabulous Blog Name

Hmm...well...the name that was decided for me and the name I was going to be known as for the rest of my life was Cassandra Marie Workman otherwise known as Cassie. As I grew into a little tot apparently I became quite the sassy child. Hence, a new nickname was established. Sassy Cassie it was. Ever since I can remember, I have been called Sassy Cassie by my family and friends.

So...my sophomore year rolls around and I happen to be in a photography class where I have to post all my pictures.  This was in fact the blog name I chose. I even decided to make the sassy end in an -ie because my name also ends in an -ie. Clever huh!

Oh...and 23 happens to be my favorite number and the number on the back of Tyler Haw's jersey on the BYU Basketball Team. Sweet.

Day 1-A Recent Picture and Fifteen facts

(Reegan and Andi-I did this for you)
It's an 80's dance in case you were wondering.

Fact 1: My favorite place in the entire world is Disneyland. I think I would live there if they let me. I'm really a little kid at heart and just think that Disneyland is the best place to make all of your dreams come true especially when meeting all the princesses and riding Splash Mountain.
Fact 2: I am the oldest of five girls which I think is pretty unique. I wouldn't trade any of my sisters for anything...well maybe if I got a good deal out of it, but no really, they are awesome. I have loved it as we have gotten older we have become really good friends.
Fact 3: I love cookies-hence the name of my blog. Chocolate chip is my favorite especially when they are fresh out of the oven. Ahhh...one of the simple things in life.
Fact 4: Lately, I have really missed singing. I mean I still sing out loud at my apartment and the car but I miss singing in a choir and having it be a large part of my life. So, hopefully I can find a way to incorporate back in soon :)
Fact 5: Umm...I like sports...like a lot. Sometimes, I think I can be a little fanatical. I mean, I watch sportscenter for fun. What kind of girl does this? Me, I guess. I have learned to cheer for BYU which has turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life as well as the Oregon Ducks. It scares me with all the knowledge that i can know about sports, but that can be attractive, right?
Fact 6: I love to take drives where I don't know where I'm going. It is a great adventure and sometimes you get to see really cool places and get to figure out directions which is great practice for the terrible skills I have. Driving is also really therapeutic for me and can get my mind off of anything.
Fact 7: I HATE change. I've never been that kind of girl who likes to try new things. I like to stick with the comfortable and to the things I know. It was really hard to make the decision at the beginning of this school year to live by myself where I wouldn't know anyone. Luckily, that also turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have the greatest friends and roommates who always make my day and know how to make me laugh.
Fact 8: Not that I'm biased or anything...but I really love Oregon. I know my roommates will never hear the end of this....but it is just an awesome state. I miss the rain and the beach and especially the green trees. I'm not going back this summer which makes me kind of sad, so hopefully I will get to go home soon and see that beautiful place again :)
Fact 9: I love photography. Especially portraits of people and families and such. I just think it is so awesome that photographs can catch that one glimpse into someone and can have such powerful meanings behind them.
Fact 10: I love to have a good time. I love to make other people laugh. I am rather thoughtful and hopefully make someone's day because I think it's important to laugh and smile everyday.
Fact 11: Bears. Beets. Battlestar Gallactica.
Fact 12: I love little kids. I can't wait to work with them someday in pediatric physical therapy. I think children bring such a calmness and joy to this world, and I just love it when they laugh.
Fact 13: I do, in fact, like to wakeboard. About 3 years ago I finally got up on one. Thanks Carlie! It was one of the scariest things I have ever done but just so cool when I finally figured it out. By no means am I good, but I'm really excited to go wakeboarding this summer during my epic summer of awesomeness.
Fact 14: If I could marry Josh Groban's voice, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Fact 15: My perfect day includes popsicles, sunshine, and summer.

Oh yes...I'm back.
