Oh! What a Night!

Since I have no life during the week, besides school, I always look forward to the weekend. I usually have most of my fun with my friends on the weekends, which are quite enjoyable. So this past weekend, was super fun!

I was able to go to a Zumba party with my cousin Jamee, who is an awesome instructor by the way! It was disco themed, and super fun! I learned some new moves and burned so many calories, and felt great afterward! Doing Zumba has made me feel so confident about myself, and keep off the weight. Ha love it!!

I am minoring in Nutrition, and because of this I guess you can say I am now a little bit of a nerd about what I eat now... I have come to learn steamed broccoli with chicken and rice. MMmmm so good. Also, I tried an experiment on myself with food. I truly believe that food alters the way we think and act and do things. Anyway... broccoli, apples, bananas, blueberries, rice, and chicken, are great foods to help, especially with memory. Broccoli, has fiber, iron, and many vitamins in it. Apples and rice are full of fiber. Blueberries are packed with antioxidants. Bananas are overflowing with vitamin B6 and potassium. Finally, chicken, is all protein. Fiber helps keep your system clean as do antioxidants, which in the long run help clear your body of wastes that cause other problems. Vitamin B6 help maintain blood sugars and protein intake, and help build up your immune system. These foods help cleanse your body and they really do help build up your memory and strength to do things.... if you don't believe me, try it out, it really worked for me!

On Saturday night, I had a GREAT time! I went to a concert (Every Avenue at the Venue) with my best friend Cierra and we jammed out to the great music. We got there, and got a huge woof of smelly things, but for a concert, it wasn't that bad. We are kind of short so we squoze into the middle, which was a little scary. Rockin the mosh pit, and screaming our hearts out, was the best part of the night. I am sure grateful to have Cierra as a friend, we do so many, crazy, and awesome things together. Oh, it truly was a fabulous night!

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
