Living With Epilepsy

As most of you know, this morning was quite eventful and not in a very good way. This morning I woke up to Zappa having a seizure. After taking her to the vet Matthew and I were informed that she may possibly have epilepsy. The vet let us know that this could be a one time seizure but it could also start happening more often. We realize that Zappa to most people would only be seen as a dog, a pet, but for us she is part of our family and we would appreciate your prayers if not for her then for Matthew's and mine peace of mind. Thinking about leaving her by herself while we are at work and school has both Matthew and I nervous and afraid we won't be here for her. So for now we're waiting and hoping for the best. We'll try and keep you guys informed.

Love,
Kasey

Life and All it's Messes!

Sorry about not blogging for awhile everyone! As some of you might already know, my computer is not connecting to the internet here at 48th House. I've tried everything I can think of to fix it and even called my Brother-in-law but it's still a no-go! So at the moment I'm using Katie Huff's computer to write a short blog letting you know all thats happening.

One new thing in my life right now is that I have recently been moved from the Crafts department at Hobby Lobby to the Fabrics department!! WooHoo! So much more fun! lol yes I know, what could be so fun about it...well for starters: Time goes by faster, I get to interact alot more with people, and get to learn more about fabrics and sewing! Fun Fun! So work is going great along with school. I've had my first test in Medical Terminology and think I did really well!

Matthew and I have finally gotten back in to a regular workout routine and I am loving it! Katie H. has been going with me and letting me help her workout. We are running a mile every Monday, Wednesday, Fridays, and doing arms. On Tuesday, Thursdays we are doing legs and 2 hours of racquetball with Matthew, Katie, Jessica and Me! Tuesday Thursdays are by far my favorite days of the week!

In other areas of my life I'm just trying to hold my head up high, and turn the other cheek. It's hard sometimes to remember to do that when someone is attacking you without provocation. Sometimes I feel like my life is under the scrutiny of others, I just keep reminding myself that as long as I am happy with my life and the direction it's going then no one else's opinion matters. Besides I only have one more semester until I can go home and start planning my wedding! (lol yeah I know..still need the ring).

Patiently (ever-so-slightly impatiently) Waiting!

Love You Guys,
Kasey

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation,
And Your gentleness makes me great.
You Enlarge my steps under me,
And my feet have not slipped.

Psalms: 18:35-36

I'm Back!

Hey Guys, this is Kasey speaking and I'm back and ready to keep you people updated! So as most of you know classes at Texas Tech have resumed and we're heading into our second week of classes! Meaning that this week was my last, first week at Texas Tech, which brings me both joy and a little saddness. I can't even tell you how excited I am to be moving onto the next stage of my life but at the same time I am just a little scared to leave all that I have found here in Lubbock. These past 3 years have brought me happiness, pain, tears, anxiety, friendships, patience (well more than I had to start with), and an overall sense of comfort in who and what I've become.

This semester has started out smoothly and I'm very excited about my classes. I have to admitt that I was a little dubious about a few of them at first. The first day of class started with my keyboarding class (that is piano). I was so nervous that I would be in the only one in the class that didn't have any previous experience (not counting when I was too little to remember), however, I came to find out that out of the seven students in my class all but one had no previous experiences in piano. (THANK GOODNESS!) My second class of the day was Parasitology, yes I know, it sounds well frankly a little scary. Well see that's what I was thinking as well. However, I must say...I LOVE IT, minus the fact that my professor wants us to pick up a road killed animal and bring it to class. (My animal heart is bleeding!) My professor is a no nonsense but very animated and humorous person. Next comes my medical terminology class, yes I know boring! The wonderful thing about this class is that I don't have to go to class except for test days! WOOHOO! I then have my ASL 4 class. Very exciting! And last but not least is my Art Appreciation class, most of you at this point are probably grimacing, gagging or trying to block out your own horrible memories of art appreciation, but I am truly excited about this class. My professor is amazing! He's not some stuffy old dirt bag who drones on and on and on about art, he truly loves his job and has a way of making people want to learn about art! So overall I must say that this last semester at Texas Tech should be wonderful!!!

Wish me luck and I'll keep you updated!

Love,
Kasey
