A summer of growing up!

This summer... wow, so much has happened, I have most definitely found a new me, one that is strong, fun, outgoing, looks forward to learning new things, spontaneous, and excited to live each day to its fullest! I have enjoyed meeting new people and finding out who I really am, nothing, and when I say nothing, I truly mean it, nothing can or will hold me back, I am on a whole new level. I feel on top of the world and right now I can only hope that when school starts back up again, that I can keep my head high and come to learn to like my anatomy class...Yippie!! This summer, my cute cute niece, would come over everyday and I have loved watching her grow up and do many things. Just the other day she was helping my sister clean her car, I guess they are never too young!

If I could sum up my experience from this summer in a few words it would be... Summer of never letting things get to you too much. This summer has been rough, but at the same time it has been wonderful! I found this quote that recently describes me. "I may appear to be silly and naive, but you can't fault my heart" ~Sarah Ferguson~ My mind has never been so tormented because of being in love but I know that because of my recent lover, I have been changed for the better. I have never cried so much because of love until now, I must be crazy. But I am telling you when we had to go our separate ways, it was not easy, but it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Everyone has a story of love to tell, that ends in a happily ever after, mine is still being written, I have just moved on to the next chapter in my love story.

Anyway... this summer has been great and of the many nights that I have stayed up late, I am thrilled to start school in a week and continue to learn and find myself! I can't believe I am already a sophomore in college, time flies by! Be strong my friends and I love you for who you are!

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

Life as we know it...crazy!
