Spring say what!

Hey friends! I hope all is going well and you guys are all enjoying this fabulous weather! I will admit, I have Spring Fever! Before I jinx myself though, it is Utah, and the weather can change at any given moment, so for now... bring on the warm weather! This time of year I always get so excited... for many reasons, but this year... I am really really excited! I am going to give you my famous bullet point list of things that have been going on and such! I will try and throw in some funny things and random moments, so grab some snacks, sit back and enjoy!

-First of all... Spring Break, yes it was a few weeks ago, but I never blogged about it! Guess what I did! I did absolutely nothing and it was wonderful! Here is a short re-cap: Went to Spencer's soccer game, worked out (pretty hard every day), did Zumba with Cierra Bell, did a quiz, did lots of reading, went to Linsdy's wedding (crazy she is married, her reception was lots of fun), got yummy frozen yogurt with the girls, I also went to Park City with Cierra Larsen, it was so nice up there! I also was able to spend lots of time with my family!


-Spencer took me to a Jazz game, it was our first sporting event together! I was really excited! Also, six months ago, Spencer swept me off my feet and took me on our first date! Recap of our first date: My sweet Spencer took me rock climbing, ha ha this was really fun! I hadn't been in years and the last time I only went half way. Spence was way good and I totally embarrassed myself when I realized I couldn't do it. I don't think I stopped smiling the whole night! We finished the night off by getting smoothies from McDonald's. I never knew that I would be so lucky. Spencer babe, I sure do love you!


-Umm, I turn 21 soon, how weird is that! So you all know what that means right? I had to go through the process of renewing my driver's license. My mom gave me the suggestion to make an appointment so I wouldn't have to wait in line. You guys seriously I was in and out in 13 minutes! It was awesome! I feel so grown up with my license now being horizontal instead of vertical! Now I just need to figure out what I want to do on my birthday, I am thinking of karoake!

-As many of you know I have the wonderful opportunity to be an intern at JDRF. I am loving it so much! This past Saturday I was able to go to a health fair and promote the Kid's Walk for a Cure. It touched my heart to see so many new families. I remember that the support through things like this really helped me out when I was first diagnosed. There are so many young young children who have diabetes, and it is sad that many people do not even know what it is. I hope to continue to learn more and do more with this!

-I was in the crafty mood, and so I made something for my bathroom. I bought gold duct tape, yest gold! I also got 2 white canvases, coral paint, and aqua paint. I wasn't sure how these would turn out but I knew I would like them I painted the canvas first then I had fun cutting the tape to make designs on the canvas.They turned out really awesome and I am very proud of myself. Well... in my bathroom I had this frame on my wall which was mounted on with that mount tape so I wouldn't leave a hole in the wall. Well I didn't know you had to be careful taking it off. As I ripped the frame off the wall, I realized I had also ripped the paint off my wall.... uh crap! I felt like an idiot. I had to try and cover most of the damage up. Luckily I was able to hide most of it, but there are still parts that are still showing. I had fun adding knew things to my bathroom, the red, white, black, and gray was getting old. Now it looks bright and colorful! I just need a new shower curtain to finish things off! (I will work on getting pictures!)

-I am so grateful for the Atonement! I love the surety that it gives that Christ Lives! I know that without it or the power of repentance I would not be where I am today! I hope that I will be able to feel this way forever! It has helped me get through some of the most challenging times of my life, and friends I could not be happier. The gospel continues to amaze me, as I receive those tender mercies from the Lord, I know without a doubt that this is the only true church!

Friends, that is about all, I hope you can all enjoy the beautiful Spring weather. I sure will ha ha! Last but not least... GO FORTH AND DO!

What being in college has taught me

I know I have been terrible at writing on my blog the past couple of months. School has engulfed my attention and honestly blogging has been the last on my priority list. I wanted to write blog about my college experience... since I graduate in 53 days. I am thrilled beyond words to be this close to being done. I had know idea it would feel like this nor that it would come so soon. In just a few short months I will be able to call myself a graduate of Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community, also being eligible to become CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) certified. Wow what a mouthful! Being in college was not like I expected, it was much more. I have been through the worst of worst and the best of best experiences. I would like to share with you what I have learned in the past four years (From beginning to end), I hope you can get a good laugh about it. To those who have yet to start college, I strongly encourage you to start thinking about going. You w...

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...
