"It's just a little surreal how much things have changed since July, and how many things haven't changed," she says in the message, which runs a little over four minutes. "But the good thing is that things are starting to look up, and things are starting to change in a good way. I just hope that things stay good and that they only get better."
Although the video was recorded in October, Casey's whereabouts are still unknown as she finishes her probabtion, which ends in late February. But, she is happy and excited to finally be able to use a computer and have a phone and camera she can call her own. And don't assume this is Casey's last video blog — she says they'll be plenty more to come.
