Being a twin... Rocks!

As many of you know, I am a twin. In some cases twins hate each other and are jealous of the other one. I am not saying this lightly when I say my twin, Kelsey is my best friend. No matter what she has ALWAYS been there for me and I for her. Sometimes I swear we are connected at the hip and can finish each other's sentences. Ever since we were little, we have had basically the same interests and friends. Now even though we are twins, we are very very different. I have to laugh when people say, "You guys are so much alike," or "Have you guys switched places? God made us sisters but chance made us best friends. I am so grateful for the relationship we have with each other. Growing up I definitely took for granted sharing every single thing with her: clothes, conversations, smiles, tears, boys (ha ha that's another story), a room, a car, pretty much what was mine was hers and visa versa. When it was time to go to college she moved out to St. George and I stayed here in Sandy. There were times when I cried myself to sleep because all I wanted to do was talk through the night, ha ha it's funny what separation can do. Even though we don't talk everyday, I feel that we can always pick up where we left off. I love how her "goofiness" can, no matter what, make me smile. I always look forward to the times when I can see her.She has always been the one to when I was going through a difficult time, she would give the best advice. Sis, you are so fun! Over the past year I believe that being apart and not sharing everything with each other, has made our relationship even stronger than it ever has before! Now that she is getting married, the question I get asked now is..."How do you feel about it?" To be honest, I could not be any more happy about it, she has had her fair share of struggles, and I am glad that Chris is the one to make her happy and take her through the temple. Yes, I am sad, but you know it is apart of life and even though she is getting married, she will always be my best friend and she will always be the one where her opinion matters most to me. Being a twin is simply the best and I could not have asked for a better second half. I hate to say this to all the other twins out there but... MY TWIN IS BETTER THAN YOURS!!! I love you Kelthey Ann!!!

Living with Type 1 diabetes

Hey friends! This blog is dedicated to all of those who are suffering from yet living a full  and normal life with Type 1 diabetes. With a life long disease, isn't it wonderful to live in a time where we will find a cure one day for this disease?

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...

Personal Thought: A simple prayer answered

I had an experience a few weeks ago that helped me realize the power of prayer. This is kind of personal (not kind of... it is very personal), but I wanted to share it and maybe someone could benefit from it. For a while I have had abnormal bleeding (for long periods of time), not thinking really anything of it, I ignored it for months actually. At times it would be pretty painful, took some IB Profin, and I ignored it. I was talking to someone who said that with the IUD that I had, that bleeding that bad was not normal. Again, I didn't think anything of it. Spencer and I have been talking about our future family and this came up in conversation. Spencer is not as excited about starting our family this young but I am all over it. I was surprised when he asked me to go get it checked out, because something could be wrong. It took for me to hear him say that to go schedule an appointment. Of course I looked online of what it could possibly be and then I got nervous. I had be...
