Oh the things we do!

Friends! I cannot believe that this semester is almost over! Well deep down inside I am saying "FINALLY!!!" because this one has been tough but, hey everyone has to have one of those tough ones! I am also thrilled to see the beautiful spring weather, ah! Allergies here I come! Ha no just kidding, for all of you who suffer from those terrible sniffles and watery eyes during this season, I am so sorry, because they are no fun. I want to share with you what I did over the weekend, I sure did have lots of fun!
This weekend.....
-I started out the weekend going to the temple! I have been going the majority of the Fridays in this semester, and I have noticed that when I don't go, I never accomplish the things I want to for the weekend. All of the temple workers have now grown to know my name and always greet me with a warm hello. Al of them are wonderful people and set such a big example for me.
-I got a Joico treatment... wow these feel really good and are super good for your hair. I felt super relaxed and this deep conditioning treatment has got me hooked! Ha and even better it smells super yummy!
-I had to change my oil in my car... ha well that sure does add up, plus I had a tail light out, but it needed to be done. Now I am good for another couple of months!
-I made bridal shower invitations for my sister Courtney's shower! I am really excited to host it and I had lots of fun making them. (I love doing showers and I love planning them, even though my sister Kelsey is only 12 weeks along, I am starting to plan a baby shower for her!)
- My sister and best friend Kelsey and my brother-in-law came up for the weekend, we met at Arby's and had lunch after I changed my oil in my car. I sure love them, we laughed and enjoyed each other's company!
-I DID NOT STUDY AT ALL!! This might be bad ha the semester ends soon and finals are closer than I hope for.
-I got a free Jamba Juice!! Yummy!
-I turned my room into a waxing spot, Kelsey brought her business with her this weekend. It was super sweet and I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with her to get whatever you want waxed! She is very talented and she does skin things too! Her bed took up most of my room but I am so proud of her, she will receive her Master's in Esthetics's. You go sis!!
-Chis, Kelsey, and I went up to City Creek! It was their first time and my third, we had lots of fun! It was a beautiful day to go shopping! We went into the Lush store, and we got this amazing body butter, but one thing, it is in a bar! It smells super good, almost like you can eat it! Kelsey found this bar to help with stretch marks, ha I had to laugh about that, it is almost surreal that she is going to have a little Cunningham running around!
-As a family, we had a dinner, with everyone there! It has been a while since we all had dinner together! It was a family favorite, Red and White Pasta! Mmmmm delicious! 11 people and growing, all of us around on table is such a fun thing! We are loud, funny, and full of joy! We even were able to take a few family pictures! We had dessert and still let the fun last!
-After all of that Chris, Kelsey, Steph, and I all went to Target to get our outfits for Courtney's wedding! Yay we finally have our skirts and shirts! This is a huge step for us! Time to make headbands now!
- To finish off my weekend, I went to the president of my old sorority's farewell. I love my Theta ladies and it was wonderful to see them! I am so proud of Lisa and wish her luck! I hope to see all of them soon, and I am so grateful for them in my life!

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
