I once had a cupcake....

FRIENDS!!! I had a fabulous weekend!
To all of those who have Celiac disease or a gluten intolerance... Sweet Tooth Fairy has the best gluten free cupcakes! I normally would not spend my money on a single cupcake, but I felt like I can when it comes to these yummy things! Plus, I had a coupon for buy one get one free! It has been a little bit since I have had a gluten free cupcake but I made the last one I had. As I walked into the bakery, I was overwhelmed with the sweetness of cakes, and baked goods. I was greeted with a warm welcome, and could not stop smiling when I asked for my gluten free cupcake! Since I was with my mom, I felt like she should get the free cupcake, I got her a red velvet one (I hear those are to die for too!). I couldn't even wait to get home to eat it... yes I bit into in the car, and oh my goodness, it was heaven! The frosting was melting off the top of the cupcake, so it made it a messy but delicious treat! I was very proud of my cupcake purchase. I am embarrassed to admit this, but I ate it before I thought to take a picture, so I apologize!

I had kind of a crappy Saturday morning, so my therapy is different from everyone. I love to drive, clean and organize, and craft. So I took a drive to the craft store and thought of something to make. I had lots of fun. When I came home, I got rid of my papers from this semester, and other papers that I had just kept. I filled up a grocery paper bag of paper to recycle... wow! I feel that my room is a less junky looking, oh what college does to you, I swear the amount of paper I use each semester is enough to fill a forest. Not that I am a tree hugger, but really? I use a lot of paper and I need to cut back I guess. After making my room look fresh, I went to my craft.

I had no idea what I was doing, but I planned to make a wreath for the spring season. Here is a list of things I got just in case some of you want to try, which I am sure you will do a much better job than I did.
-Styrofoam wreath, 8 inches
-silk flower
- 9 ft of ribbon ( I ran out, so I would get two spools)
-buttons, different sizes and colors
-pins with color bead on top
-hot glue
That's it! It was pretty cheap too, and use coupons, to make it even less expensive! I had fun experimenting with where to put the buttons and the flower (which had to cover up the part of the wreath that had no ribbon) It turned out pretty good for my first wreath, next time, I could do better!

I hope you guys are enjoying the nice weather and now that school is out (ah a week will go by fast) I want to relax and not think about school and stress. Just keep smiling and life will bring great things! I love you guys! (Let's see if we can get to 2000 views, in the next couple of months!!!!!)

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
