Is it already December?

I feel like November never happened! Ha time is going by way too fast these days. So my word of advice is, never, ever take anything for granted, life is way too short, never live with a day of regret, because you never know when it will be taken away from you. I do know that this last month I have grown up so much and for that I am grateful!!  I also came to the realization that I am happy so happy, even though the things that have happened to me, have been full of tears and sadness, I can't help but smile. I always have to think... "there is always someone in a worse position"... I was having a conversation with one of my Aunts, whom I love dearly and am so grateful for her in my life about being happy. She told me something that hit me, which inspired me to write this blog. As I mentioned, I have had to do a lot of growing up the past few weeks, and doing some things with a smile can be difficult. She said, "You radiate happiness!" Not that I am trying to put myself on oh a high stool, but you guys, there should never be a day where you don't smile, or where you radiate your happieness. Let others know that you are happy or trying to be happy! It will amaze you how it will compliment your life. It's always good to know that even though you may feel like crap on the inside one day, that people will still see your light shining around you. I challenge you do smile, do your face exercises and smile, it will then become natural for you. I am sure we have all been through our fare share of trials and hardships, but those are what make you strong and live long. I know without a doubt that being happy around the people you interact with it will make others happy too. Happiness is contagious, and it is a good type of contagious! So be nice and spread it.. all over! Try making a list of things that make you happy... I am going to share a list. (Things that make me happy and things that I am grateful for!!!)

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

10 years going strong!

Friends! I am dedicating this post to my upcoming 10 year Anniversary with Type 1 Diabetes. I would like to share my story, for some it may make you cry, others it will hit home, and for some I know you will read the title and not get what you expected. But please I ask you to read so that you know where I stand. Ten years ago on August 5, 2003 my mom took me to see my Pediatrician. We went in there together and came out with news no one expects to hear. To be honest I thought it was a great way to get out of school, but after I received the news I would have taken school back. We went in not knowing what to expect, however everyone who knew me, knew that I was sick. I was in the 6th grade and lost 20 pounds in a short period of 2 weeks. I was literally a walking skeleton at less than 70 pounds. My cheeks were sunk in, the rose color that was naturally on my skin was gone, and there were dark circles around my eyes. I had no energy at all. To get up to my room (at the time) I had to

19 going on 20!!

Well, I'm super excited to no longer be a "teen"! Even though it's not that old, I feel old! So much has happened in 20 years. A little bit ago I have had the opportunity of where I was all by myself and I was flooded with memories. I have been through a lot but I believe that is was not to torture me, to make me cry or even hurt me. I believe that because of all the things I have gond through, I am the person I am today. I look back at who I was, just a year ago, oh how weak I was, getting hurt by silly things, crying for pointless things, and still... very childish. Although I will always be young at heart, I look at myself now, and see the exact oppostie. I am much stronger than I used to be both physically and mentally. Yes I still cry, but it's different now. I have had to grow up a lot over the last little bit, and I have never been more grateful. Recently I had a conversation with  a really good friend of mine. It made me realize, I'm pretty lucky! So
