So... it's a new year!

I know I am a little late on this post, but I have been focusing on other things. To be honest I wanted to have fun my last week before school started again. I do apologize, but please forgive me, I will catch you up on most things! I cannot believe it is yet again another year in the making! 2012 you were so great to me, but I know without a doubt that 2013 will be just as great if not better!

Here is to 2013, a new year, a new me!
I would like to share some of my resolutions, because I want to be committed to these, so that is why I am telling you! Over the past few years I have had to grow up a lot. Some of the things that made me grow up were very hard challenges that both my family and I had to go through. To this day I do not know why I went through some of the things I went through, but I will be forever grateful that I did. I am a changed person. I have never been so happy in my life, and I know that it was because of these struggles. So as I was making my resolutions for this year, I realized that I have so many things. Like many of you, I want to better my life and be the happiest person yet. So.... what are my resolutions?
.....I want to become a better person proving to others that I can do things that I say I am, make commitments, and live life to its fullest.

.............I know I don't need to lose weight, don't even get me started, but I want to be healthier  overall, you know eat better, drink more water, be more dedicated to going to the gym, and really understanding and implying my dream career into my life so that I can help others become healthy as well!
..........I will go to the temple as often as I can, no excuses! I tried this last year, and the Temple workers started calling me by name, it was such a blessing that I could go and feel at home, and so much closer to my Heavenly Father. So this year I am going on a different day, so I can get to know more Temple workers and help my personal testimony grow of the importance of temple work. I love it and I can't wait to experience this change! I also want to make it a point to go to different temples in the valley, there are four close to my house, I want to make it to more than just those ones. I want to start preparing to go through the temple, I know I may not be getting married anytime soon, but for my own endowment and to possibly go on a mission!

....DO WHAT IS RIGHT, EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING.... I have never done anything I regret, but I made this motto up and put in on a sticky note and put it in my room. I see it everyday and by seeing this, helps me recognize how strong the power of discernment is. Many things can tempt you and make you do something you will regret later. I am human so of course I will mess up at times, but by knowing that I have the choice to make everything work and make it right, is awesome! I want to be the best me I can be, so for 2013 I am going to prove it to myself. Listen to the Holy Ghost and to ALWAYS CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!

The rest of my resolutions are simple but these are the ones that I really want to work on. These are the ones that I know will change my life for this year and many more to come. I don't want to sound like I am some high and mighty girl, but I know that these simple things will help me. I hope you all know that I love you all, and thank you so much for reading my silly blogs! I look forward to another year of excitement and joy! Old habits die hard... so family, friends, and everyone else! Go forth and do!

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
