I am so GRATEFUL!

Hey friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and ate lots of carbs!! Ha ha I have been thinking about what I have been grateful for, and there are so many things! This year has brought so many wonderful things to me! So if you don't mind, I am going to give you a very long list of things that I am grateful for!

- My job! I love my job and all of my co-workers at South Jordan Fitness and Aquatics. I know a lot of you can say this but I am pretty sure my co-workers are the best of them all! To all of our inside joke, secrets we keep, to when we have each other's back in all things. I am so lucky to have the job I have, I look forward to it every time I work, not only to get hours but because of the friendships I have made and will continue to make. So to all my lovely co-workers, here is a shout out to you... Cierra Bell and the plans we make and the stories we tell, Corinne Cowdell and her willingness to do things, Emary Knudsen and her happy attitude, Sierra Nielson and all of her stories, Michael Glissmeyer and our James Bond jokes...007, and Michael Moore and his awesome attitude toward things and inside jokes! I am going to be so sad when we are not working together. Everyone who I didn't mention (there are a lot) thanks for making my job easy and fun to come to!

-My family! I know I say this a lot, but my family is the best ever! We are growing so big and the love we share for each other is amazing! We are always together and building our relationship tight! Having parents teach us how to be close and love without end has been the biggest blessing. My parents are so in love with each other and they make me excited to start my own family. They are the best examples to me and to know that we are an eternal family is incredible! I love being an aunt, a sister, a cousin, a daughter, a twin, a granddaughter a sister-in-law,  and a niece. It is such a blessing that I have so many roles and each one of them is important! I love my family!

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 ...
