As I was looking back tonight at older post's I seen the last time I posted was in May. Let me just trying to talk about everything that has happened!
June was a fun mouth, I was to be doing school during the summer but that kind of got away from me. I did school every now and again. At the end of June I want to Youth camp at my Church which was alot of fun. God pined pointed thing's in my life that need to change. But I am also thankful for that too.
July was also a fun mouth, It started out with me struggling with some thing's, and I'm still working though those thing's now. July 11th was my 18th Birthday, my parent's take me shopping and I got my permit that day too! I was super excited about that too!! The day after my Birthday, Family camp at my church started. I got to see friend's that I meet at Youth camp and see old friend's and just plain have fun and enjoy being around Christian Friend's!
August was a slower mouth but also fun! The 17th I want to a Family get together in Ohio, that was fun and I enjoyed it alot! Than this past week I want on a camping trip to the U.P (I live in Michigan, if y'all didn't know that) It was so much fun up there! Saturday morning our youth pastor take the three teens fishing, It was mine first time fishing, I got a pike too! Over all the camping/hiking trip was the highlight of the mouth of August!
And as for this mouth, I don't know what it will bring because it just started. And I start school this week sometime!!

Let me tell you about this one awesome guy!!
A while back I wrote about my 2nd mom! Well Kim is Jason's mom and today I'm going to tell you about him!
Okay I'll start with how Jason and I meet!!
It was a Thursday afternoon in July! Lindsey and I were going to go to the youth thing at camp! Oh I forgot to tell you that on this story takes place at family camp! Back to the story, Lindsey and I were sitting kind of in the back just before the youth thing had started, and up walks with guy and he sat next to me and mind you he was all along too! So I'm sitting there with my friend, about half way though the youth thing, something in me was like maybe this guy likes you! So I get my phone out and write a text to Lindsey that want something along the line of "I think Jason likes me", Lindsey though so too, while Lindsey and I were texting back and forth for a while about Jason! And I finally asked Lindsey if she would get Jason's number for me! So she got his number while I was sitting in the middle of them! Just for the recorded Lindsey got Jason's number cause I was too shy to ask him myself! After that Jason and I texted back and fourth that afternoon getting to know each other!
Now that's how we meet! I'll fast forward to about a week later!
Jason and his family want back to IN after camp had ended! Yes I was sad to see them leave! I was going to a different camp instant of going to youth group (well our whole youth group want) anyway on the way home I had to ask Jason the question why he stayed around after he found out I was a diabetic? His answer was this "cause it's not who you are it's just a part of you" I know he was a keeper when he said that!
Okay we are going to skip to May!
I was asked to go down to IN and spend a week down there with them! I had it planed to go down with his sister, but I had told Jason the night before we left that my parents said that I can't come down! But I was going to surprise him and his mom Kim! And the surprised worked too! Jes (Jason's sister) and I got to her house around 7:30pm on Sunday night! Kim and Don were going to pick me up there after they got out of church! I did kind of get to surprise Kim! But I want back to their house, when I got there Jason was not there so I still was planing on surprising Jason! He got home about a hour or so later! I could not see his face cause I was covered so Jason could not see me but Kim said when he know I was there his eye's just lit up!
Okay now I'm going to skip to Thursday night!
Jes had offered to do a photo shoot with Jason and I, and we agreed to it! And it was alot of fun too! Anyway, we had take some photo's and than I desiced that my Blue diabetes bracelet did not go with my shirt (I was wearing green) so I take the bracelet off and gave it to Jason's brother Joe, I did not know Joe had put my bracelet in Jason's shirt pocket! After we take some photo's I turn around and Jason is taking my diabetes bracelet out and put it on! I asked him if he was going to wear it and he said yes! That shocked me when he said that! And mind you I was also laughing when he put the bracelet on! But he wore the bracelet all during the rest of the photo shoot and than he was still wearing it after! He wore it to work the next day and than all the way to Michigan!
I'm going to end the story right there for now! And tell you a little about Jason and I!
Jason is nothing like I am! I am shy and quite as to were Jason is outgoing and not shy at all! Beside's when it come's to talking to me he is! But all around Jason is a awesome loving caring kind guy! I could not ask for a better boyfriend than Jason! I'm so glad that I meet him last year at camp!
Jason, I love you!
So that's the awesome and great guy I call my boyfriend!!

My 2nd mom!
Today's post is about my 2nd mom!
She may not be my birth mom but she is really awesome!(I am not adopted but I adopted her as my 2nd mom) Her name is Kim!
Kim is awesome in more than one way!
For one she know's how to give awesome advice about anything! And she is a great encourage too! More than once I have facebooked her for many thing's, most of the time it's to pray for someone or it's just to say Hi and talk to her!
A while ago I wrote a post about normal. When I asked Kim what normal is she told me a setting on the dryer! Which is very true! No one is ever normal cause we are normal in our own way!
I also adopted Kim as my 2nd mom cause she is a awesome Christian Lady! She is always willing to pray for anyone when I if she will pray for them! Sometimes I even get verse from her! But sometimes I'm the one telling her about verse's I have read or one's that I have wrote down!
She is also very sweet! She a awesome Godly mom/wife! She is just one of the many people that I look up too when it come's to Christian woman!
I meet Kim for the first time when I was still in pubic school! My dad and I were there for school pic's! And we ran into them! I also got to meet her ever so sweet husband! That same year her family moved to IN! Well my family's first Sunday at our new Church was her family's last Sunday there! But we keep in touch a camp meetings sometimes! But this past summer I really got to know her and her family! Which are all very sweet too! And no I am not sugar costing that just cause I'm her son's girlfriend! Kim is also the mom of my boyfriend! But I have meant everything that I have said!
She is awesome and sweet!! I love her and I love that I adopted her as my 2nd mom!!

Fear..
There are two kind's of people that I can think about right now, that know what I mean. The first kind is D-parents (Diabetes mom's and dad's). The 2nd kind is diabetic's (people that have diabetes).
Now we may not act like it but we are afraid all the time. I never know this when I was younger but I do now. There is always fear in us. For D-parents with little kids, they fear that their little one or little one's will go low and not be able to feel it. Or go high and not be able to feel it. D-parents also fear that their kids may not wake up in the night after going low.
My fear has always been here. But a couple nights ago, it got to me to were I could not sleep till wee hours of the night. I had the fear of going to bed and not waking up.
I don't have that fear very much but for some reason a couple nights ago I did. And I have to say I don't like it. I was up till after 3am that night cause I had fear. I don't get it, most night's I am fine with going to bed but once in a while I'm not. Which is why I was up till the wee hours of the night!
Since than I have got over the fear for now that is! I don't know how long I will not have fear but right now I dont.
All diabetic's have fear some don't show it! I don't show it around other people. It's just not the kind of person I am! I try to replace my fear with bring strong and having faith. Most night's I trust God to keep me awake!
So now that you all know that I have a fear of not wake up at night! Know that I don't say much about it at all!
Oh and D-parents, you guys are awesome!!
And you all with diabetes your awesome and strong too!!!
Till next time

Five important people!
I don't have many friends that are willing to hear about my life as a diabetic but the online Diabetes family will not only will the hear what I have to say they will try to help.
Most of my non-diabetic friends are really willing to hear about it but they will if I tell them, but I also don't talk much about it to them cause they don't really get what it's like and everything.
Even though most of my online Diabetes family is made of D-parents most of them help alot! And some of the diabetic I look up to or turn to for advice!
Four people that I go to most of the time are teens. Holly is one of them that I have really got to know over the past couple mouths and she a wonderfully advice giving about anything. MiKayla has been my friend for a while and she awesome! She has been though a lot and let still has time to give advice, I don't know how she does it all! Taylor has been my friend for two years now, and I meet her a year ago last May. She was really one of my first diabetics that I got to know before I got to know many in the ODF (Online Diabetes Family). She too is one that will give me advice if I can fix something.
Last but not least is Stephanie, I got to know her over a year ago. We texted each other every day. We started a thing were when we got checked we would text the other one what we were and for the longest time we would be close but not quite there. She too is one that will give advice when I need it!!
Oh and I almost forgot about Evelyn, I adopted her as my big sister! Even though she was diagnosis just last year, I look up too her in so many way that I don't think she even knows. I can go to get with anything weather it be diabetes stuff or boy problems, she's always happy to hear about it! She has handled her dx'ed awesome, and that's one reason I look up to her!! She also writes a blog too! Y'all should check it out!!
All five of those girls are not only my friend's but they are all my adopted sister's!! I have 4 big sister's and one little sister!! And I also call them my D-sister's (diabetes sister's) Cause we all have one thing in common we all have diabetes and we are all strong!!
Love you girls!! I'm happy to have to girls as my sister!!
Till next time

Diaversary....14 years and going strong!!!
January 28 1999, that day changed my family's life forever! I was dx'ed with type one diabetes at the age of 3 1/2. And today I got to thinking that I grow up in the room/house that I lived in before I was dx'ed. Back than I did not have a care in the world beside loving my family and now I have to worry every min of every day what my BG is and how I feel and everything.
Back than I was just a 3 1/2 year old but now I'm 17, and on the Insulin pump. I have not let diabetes in the way of my life!! I have lived every min of every day like nothing else! One of my fave things someone told me is "is not who you are, its just apart of you." Its true, I always say I will not let diabetes define me and I wont I never will!! Cause I'm a fighter!! I've been fighting for 14 years and I will keep fighting till there is a cure!
14 years going strong and I am not about to give up now! No way No how will I give up now!! I'm a fighter and I'm strong and always will be!!
Till next time

Pin cushion??
Not many people know what it's like to be a pin cushion. Me? I know what it's like, I have known what a pin cushion is like since I was 3 1/2. Yep I was dx'ed with type one diabetes than. From day one I have had shot's, finger drawn blood and once a year blood work, oh and don't forget about pump site change every 3 days.
There are day's I wish I just wish I could switch lives with someone for a day! I dislike diabetes and everything that comes with it!! Some days one site change or one shot is just not enough, when your high and can't come down than you need a site change and a shot sometimes. And having both done at the same time makes you feel like you really are a pin cushion.
When I was born, my parents never though their only daughter would be dx'ed with type one diabetes at a young age. They never though that I would just about become a pin cushion. I hate that everyday I have to get checked or think about what I eat or what I am before I eat! Its it fair? No, but it's life and till there is a cure, this is life for diabetics.
Before I was 10 I was getting 3 shots a day, sometimes more. And bring on the shot is feel like your worse than a pin cushion. I used to cry when I had to have a shot. But than again what kid don't cry when they get a shot or sometime. When I was 10 I got the pump which is just about like shot but better. I only have to change it every 3 days and you don't have to get a shot every time I want to eat.
There are some day's when I feel like I want to give up like not do anything any more, no check no shots no nothing but I know if I do that I might not live long and I want to live a long a healthy life!
Hopefully one day there WILL be a cure so no diabetic will ever have to feel like a pin cushion like I do sometimes and I'm sure other diabetics feel the same way.
Till next time
