Spring Break 2012

This year... Spring Break was awesome! I had the wonderful opportunity to go to St. George to visit my twin and her hubby! I left on Saturday and came home on Thursday, although it was a short visit, I had so much fun and many memories were made! I could write pages upon pages about the few days I spent down, so I am going to do the famous bullet point list!!!
-The weather was BEAUTIFUL
-I went to church with Kels and Chris, in Relief Society, A lady thought I was Kelsey and started asking me questions that I should know the answer to... when she realized I was not Kels, we both laughed out loud in the quiet room!
-I slept on Mickey Mouse Sheets!!!
- I survived my first Brazilian wax, I was a model for Kels, and I laughed the WHOLE time, who does that?
-I got a spray tan so I wouldn't look so ghostly, ha it turned out ok
- I found out that I am going to be an aunt, again. Kelsey and Chris are expecting a baby around November! I could not be happier for them! I was there with them when they found out the news, we were all so shocked, but so so so SO excited! We skyped my parents and aunt and uncle with the good news, it was so funny! (ha ha even though she is 6 weeks, we still went looking at baby clothes!)
-Kelsey and Chris claimed that they were boring, trust me they are the exact opposite!
-Got pedicures by a super cute girl, she even gave us a special to do shellac on our toes!
- Walked to the grocery store a few times

- Random college boys knocked on the door... invited us to this "huge" party... creepy!

- Drove to another mall... we almost did a 360 in the middle of an intersection... ha Nevada needs to keep the roads clean and clear...
-Did lots of shopping
-Played "Your team" I think I lost, but Kelsey did get all the Asians... so I don't know what is worse ha ha good times!
-Rode the Tram over Vegas, it was pretty sweet, especially at 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

Life as we know it...crazy!
