The Last week before school... the best ever!

This was the last week before school starts again for the semester. And by far, this week has been the best week of the summer, what a great week to end a fantastic summer!
Monday: I had the wonderful opportunity to make Kelsey's bridal shower invitations, they all turned out so cute! Even though my hand started cramping up, I still had lots of fun being creative and making them. I went to family home evening with my ward and had lots of fun playing volleyball with a four square ball! I had a really fun time at Zumba doing our old routines and a killer leg and arm workout.
Tuesday: I worked at the salon for six hours then I worked at Carter's for five, wow what a day, by the end of the night I was tuckered out and popped in a movie and fell asleep watching it.
Wednesday: I went through a training program for Carter's, even though I have been working there since April, it was really fun though!! I went to Zumba that night and had fun with Cierra at it!
Thursday: I went to the morning Zumba class, and even though it was small it was a great one! I played a little bit and then I went to work while my family started the family reunion. After work, I went to my friends' band performance, ha ha after getting lost, and seeing my first hardcore band, I had quite the night, or so I thought. After the concert, we went to Wal-mart and did some shopping and then we met everyone at Village Inn for a very late night of breakfast foods. It was super fun and I laughed really hard.
Friday: Today! Wow today was really fun! My YSA ward went boating at Deer Creek Reservoir. I made new friends and there never was a dull moment. Card games, water games, volleyball (I spiked the ball oh yeah), boating, yummy food, great laughter, massage train, a little "Cum By Ya" and guitar playing, riding home in the bishop's truck, and then getting stuck in traffic at 11 pm coming home.





Saturday: I went up early to the Kevern Family reunion with my sister Lindsey. It was beautiful up there! We arrived just in time for breakfast, one of my favorites... Mountain man! I was so happy to visit with my family, catch up on things and just have fun up in the mountains. My family is the best and there is never a dull moment, there is always something going on. A year ago, my sweet cousin was taken from this world, and today would have been her birthday. As a family we all wrote messages on pices of paper and blew up pink balloons. While listening to sweet Kya sing a song that her dad recored we sent our balloons up to the air, sending her messages in Heaven. I thought I wasn't going to cry, but I did, it was very emotional for all who were there.  It was only a year ago when we were up at the family reunion that we heard the news about the horrible car accident. I know without a doubt, that this sweet, innocent little girl, is up in heaven watching over her mommy, daddy, and little brothers. I am grateful for my knowledge that one day I will be able to get to see her again. WE LOVE YOU KYA!   After that we made these sweet shirts, we tie-dyed with sharpies. Thanks to my lil sis Steph, we all figured out how to do it! There were some pretty sweet shirts, everyone is so creative and each shirt was different.

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...

Personal Thought: A simple prayer answered

I had an experience a few weeks ago that helped me realize the power of prayer. This is kind of personal (not kind of... it is very personal), but I wanted to share it and maybe someone could benefit from it. For a while I have had abnormal bleeding (for long periods of time), not thinking really anything of it, I ignored it for months actually. At times it would be pretty painful, took some IB Profin, and I ignored it. I was talking to someone who said that with the IUD that I had, that bleeding that bad was not normal. Again, I didn't think anything of it. Spencer and I have been talking about our future family and this came up in conversation. Spencer is not as excited about starting our family this young but I am all over it. I was surprised when he asked me to go get it checked out, because something could be wrong. It took for me to hear him say that to go schedule an appointment. Of course I looked online of what it could possibly be and then I got nervous. I had be...

With a life long disease, isn't it wonderful to live in a time where we will find a cure one day for this disease?
