About Me

visit my cancer journey site @ http://caringbridge.org/visit/kelsicruseI got a couple dents in my fender Got a couple rips in my jeans I try to fit the pieces together But perfection is my enemy And on my own, I'm so clumsy But on Your Shoulders, I can see I'm free to be meWhen I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out See, my life would turn out right And I'd make it here somehow But things don't always come that easy And sometimes I would doubt'Cause I got a couple dents in my fender Got a couple rips in my jeans I try to fit the pieces together But perfection is my enemy And on my own, I'm so clumsy But on Your Shoulders, I can see I'm free to be me And you're free to be youSometimes I believe That I can do anything Yet, other times I think I've got nothing good to bring But You look at my heart and You tell me That I've got all You seek

I was born on a hot August day in the wee morning hours to the granddaughter of a famous rodeo rider and the son of a World War II vet. I live in Coeur d'Alene (the bestest city in Idaho...ask me about it and i'll tell you how cool it really is). I like to travel a lot.....will go anywhere and everywhere at a moments notice. I have been to far too few countries as of right now and i've got hundreds more to go (gotta fill up that passport). I don't like to stay in the same place very long....I guess you could call me a nomad. The world is huge and is full of adventures. It is important to seize the day at hand and live to the fullest. We are living and breathing right now.....not in the past.. not tomorrow.. but now. I've been fighting the cancer battle that too many of us are fighting, and just found out that it's spread to my lungs & stomache. I will be beginning intensive chemo and a stem cell and bone marrow transplant beginning when I arrive home from Mexico just before Christmas. It's going to be a long hard battle this time around with a lot of hospital time. However, as the saying goes - my God can, when I can't. I believe that with all my heart. Hey, third times a charm right?? I believe attitude is everything and with the big guy upstairs on my side and me on His, nothing can damper this girls' spirit - not even all the ever decreasing statistical odds staring me in the face of conquering this Hodgkins Lymphoma disease. In my spare time, I'm a freelance photographer at heart, specializing in capturing God's incredible masterpiece. I like to listen to good creative music and easily lose myself in it. I love accoustic re-interpretations. I have a big extended family spread out all over that mean everything to me. I'm a passionate person & yes, never fail to tear up over a Hallmark commercial. I am the oldest of three very individually-unique girls. I am so proud of my sisters and the women they're becoming. The friendships I have are for LIFE... so if you're my friend, ur not getting away (I am serious) lol. I try to eat very healthy..... lots of greens and fish. My tummy isn't a fan of red meat. I'm in love with Jesus and he gives me the passion and joy I have every single day. Someday, I want to adopt about 10 orphan children as I am no longer able to conceive any on my own due to the repercussions of all the treatments I've undergone. My heart lies in the land of Alaska which I dream about each and everyday. Enough about me. What about you?You are my strength when I am weak ♥ you are the treasure that I seek ♥ You are my all in all ♥ Seeking you like a precious jewel ♥ Lord to give up I'd be a fool ♥ You are my all in all ♥Jesus lamb of God ♥ Holy is your name ♥Taking my cross my sin my shame ♥ raising again I praise your name ♥ you are my all in all ♥ When I fall down you pick me up ♥ when I run dry you fill my cup ♥ You are my all in all ♥ You can spend your whole life building ♥ Something from nothin' ♥ One storm can come and blow it all away ♥ Build it anyway ♥You can chase a dream ♥ That seems so out of reach ♥ And you know it might not ever come your way ♥ Dream it anyway ♥God is great ♥ But sometimes life ain't good ♥ And when I pray ♥ It doesn't always turn out like I think it should ♥ But I do it anyway ♥This world's gone crazy ♥ It's hard to believe ♥ That tomorrow will be better than today ♥ Believe it anyway ♥You can love someone with all your heart ♥ For all the right reasons ♥ In a moment they can choose to throw it all away ♥ Love 'em anyway ♥
