23- He says, "I Love you" when he goes to bed, wakes up, any time we part and even when we have disagreements. 

23 reasons why I love my Spencer:
1- He is dedicated. His major is hard and requires a lot of effort, studying and time away from home. Yet he still accomplishes his classes with very high grades.
2- He is smart. He reads so many things and studies hard for each of his classes. He even will teach himself things that are not taught in a classroom.
3- He is compassionate. When we first met he was shy. As long as I have been with him, I have never seen someone who loves me so compassionately and genuinely cares about me.
4-  He is loyal. Whenever we plan dates or even when we are just talking, his full attention is on me. He constantly tells me he loves me and never does anything behind my back. He is always there when I need him.
5-He is a hard worker. Right now he is working full time and taking summer classes. Once fall semester starts, he will continue to work and go to school full time. He continues to amaze me with the grades that he receives while working. I have never heard him complain (too much at least).
6- He is tender-hearted. He always makes sure that I am okay. When I am not he finds a way to make it better.
7-He gives the best hugs. I feel so safe and comforted while in his arms. It is an instant sigh of relief when I am in his arms are wrapped around me.
8- He is a great listener. I talk a lot. And most of it is just gibberish, but Spencer listens to every word, even if it’s for hours.
9-He loves to be on the couch and snuggle with me and watch movies  (most of which are chick flicks)
10-He is funny. He always shows me these videos or comics that are hilarious. His jokes are funny as well (even if I don’t understand them because it has something to do with Engineering). His laugh is contagious; which of course makes me laugh and smile more.
11- He is happy. He always greets me with a smile and doesn’t let things bother him.
12- He lets me cook healthy meals for him and he eats them without complaining.
13- He is strong. He helps motivate me to go to the gym. We do workouts together and lately he has been coming to an Abs class with me every Monday. “Couples who work out together, stay together”
14- He respects me in all that I do. We don’t do everything the same, and we even have different viewpoints on things, but Spencer respects everything I do, believe, and say. He makes me want to be the best I can be and is happy the way I choose to do it. He treats me like a queen, which quite honestly I don’t deserve, but I love it!
15- He is always up for an adventure. He wants to do so many things and gets me to do them too. Camping, hiking, or even traveling; the adventures he comes up with are amazing!
16- He is incredible in the kitchen. He loves to make breakfast, crepes being his specialty. Although he will never admit it, he likes to cook, or at least help me cook.
17- He is ambitious. He has amazing goals and strives to pursue them. He always talks about what he wants to end up doing (which I still don’t clearly understand, it’s way complex) when he graduates. He has worked hard and has already accomplished so much.
18- He is simple. I am an over thinker, which is bad. Spence always makes things so simple for me and finds a quick simple solution to things.
19- He lets me take lots of pictures of us. I know it gets old, but I know he will thank me for all of the pictures of the memories we have made.
20- He is the best brother and uncle! Even though he teases everyone like crazy, I know that one day when we decide to have children; he will be a great daddy. He is becoming more of a family guy, which I absolutely love!
21- He is very handsome! Um duh self explanatory!
22- He encourages me to accomplish my dreams and ambitions. He always tells me “You can do it” in a funny accent and wants me to succeed.
23- He chose me to be his. Forever. I am so incredibly lucky to have him as my best friend and husband. It’s not often that two very different people fall in love and have that love grow every day.


Happy Birthday baby! Thanks for choosing me and for making our lives wonderful! I sure do love you!

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
