The journey of my new smile...

I felt like blogging about the journey of getting my new smile. Oh boy! It sure has been a long, painful, and exciting process. In May of  2000 I was riding my bike, like a big girl (I was 8) with a bunch of my siblings and cousins, to my grandma's church (which was just down the street from where she lives. Staying on the side of the road as instructed, there was a man hole cover that was not pushed down all the way. Being toward the back of the bike line I didn't notice that it was up about three or so inches. Everyone else had dodged it and went around it. I, going full speed to keep up went straight over it and flipped over my bike handle bar, bike still in hand I landed on my stomach. I got up, a little dizzy and discombobulated got up thinking that was pretty sweet that I survived that epic crash. I didn't know how bad it was until my sister Kelsey started screaming "Kacey! Kacey! You have blood running down your face!" I immediately put my hand to my face a

School....What fun this is going to be!

School started for me on Monday, and so far, my assumptions are, it's going to be one fun/tough semester. Not only was I excited to finally figure out that this semester is going to be fun, but my next two are going to be equally as fun! (I wish you could hear my sarcasm!)! This semester, I am not taking too many classes, but every class is tough. Starting with Human Anatomy, my professor is awesome and he really knows how to teach this class, running to the other end of campus, I have Interpersonal Communications, this professor has such a personality I am really going to enjoy this class as I learn more about communicating with others. My next class is pretty boring, where my professor lectures my class about the civilization of America... in a deep, very monotone voice, can I get a whoop whoop? Again running to the opposite end of campus, I swear the fifteen minutes between all of my classes is really not enough. I love my nutrition class... as of Monday I decided to minor in nu

The Last week before school... the best ever!

This was the last week before school starts again for the semester. And by far, this week has been the best week of the summer, what a great week to end a fantastic summer! Monday : I had the wonderful opportunity to make Kelsey's bridal shower invitations, they all turned out so cute! Even though my hand started cramping up, I still had lots of fun being creative and making them. I went to family home evening with my ward and had lots of fun playing volleyball with a four square ball! I had a really fun time at Zumba doing our old routines and a killer leg and arm workout. Tuesday : I worked at the salon for six hours then I worked at Carter's for five, wow what a day, by the end of the night I was tuckered out and popped in a movie and fell asleep watching it. Wednesday : I went through a training program for Carter's, even though I have been working there since April, it was really fun though!! I went to Zumba that night and had fun with Cierra at it! Thursday : I we

Zumba... It's my new thing!

Everyone... Let me tell you about my new thing! My cousin teaches a Zumba class in Sandy! I started doing Zumba back in February and I absolutely love it, it has brought out the "dancer in me". The classes have so much energy and not only have I lost weight but I have toned my muscles, I have never felt so great in my life. At first I was very hesitant to shake it and let loose, but everyone does it and no watches you, so now I don't even care! Every time I go, I look forward to the workout, each class is different and always puts a smile on my face. I have had quite the experience, going from pretty reserved and self conscious about not keeping up, to doing a performance, to going every other day and LOVING EVERY MINUTE! For those of you who have never taken a Zumba class, it is a Latin dancing workout, with popular songs, with every class you burn many calories, while having the time of you life. If you had a bad day, I promise you that by the time you leave you will

Utterly declious peanut-butter bars!!!

Friday... After work, I decided to go to the Temple, since the Draper Temple is closed for cleaning, I went to the Jordan River Temple, I had an amazing experience. When I was done getting confirmed, one of the witnesses asked me, "What did you say your last name was?" "Kevern" "Who is your grandpa?" "Eugene Kevern..." "You need to come with me." By this point I was a little confused and couldn't understand what was going on, I thought I was in trouble, so I just followed this little old man to the front window where you check in and fill out your name tag. " He opened the door and said, "Madlyn, guess who I have found! Your cousin Eugene's granddaughter!" This small lady with silvery hair beamed when she heard my grandpa's name. I then  found out that I was related to this amazing couple, I started smiling and laughing at the situation. We visited for a while, then I went to do baptisms, I could feel the spir

A summer of growing up!

This summer... wow, so much has happened, I have most definitely found a new me, one that is strong, fun, outgoing, looks forward to learning new things, spontaneous, and excited to live each day to its fullest! I have enjoyed meeting new people and finding out who I really am, nothing, and when I say nothing, I truly mean it, nothing can or will hold me back, I am on a whole new level. I feel on top of the world and right now I can only hope that when school starts back up again, that I can keep my head high and come to learn to like my anatomy class...Yippie!! This summer, my cute cute niece, would come over everyday and I have loved watching her grow up and do many things. Just the other day she was helping my sister clean her car, I guess they are never too young! If I could sum up my experience from this summer in a few words it would be... Summer of never letting things get to you too much. This summer has been rough, but at the same time it has been wonderful! I found this quo

A little bit about me!!

My name is Kacey Lee Kevern. I am currently a student at the University of Utah and I love it so much. I have been considering creating a blog for quite a while... so many things have happened, that I have been so distracted, so... now that I have time I would love to share things with you. I am not trying to change the world, make you become my best friend, or even talk to me, all I want to do is maybe give some hope to those who come and read my blog. Something that I live by, and so far my friends, it seems to be working, goes like this; Go forth and do, JUST GO FORTH AND DO! There is not enough time in the world to dwell in the mistakes we have made, trust me I have learned my lesson the hard way. If you have a bad attitude about something, change it as soon as it comes over your mind. I have been through my fair share of trials in my life and everyday I ask, why, why did this have to happen to me. Now that those things have happened to me, guess what folks, I am still living and n
