Kasi (Garlick) Good

After graduating, I attended UVU and earned an Associates Degree in Psychology. In December of 2001 I met the love of my life, Kevin, and we were married three months later. We immediately moved to Boise, ID, but moved back to Utah after 6 months to be closer to family. I worked part time as a counselor at a Residential Treatment Center for teenage girls for several years, during which we welcomed Daniel (7) and Emily (5) to our family. I stopped working when we added Jacob (3) to the mix, and have been a stay at home mom ever since. In February of 2008, we moved our family to Indianapolis, IN and shortly after welcomed Benson (2) to our family. Part of the reason for our move involved Daniel, who was diagnosed with Autism when he was 2 years old. We have been able to get much better services for him out here, and he is doing so well. We love it here, especially since we have been enjoying 80 degree weather while Utah is seeing snow! In January of this year, my husband Kevin was diagnosed with an unknown (as of yet, our fingers are crossed for his Mayo Clinic visit in June!) form of Neuro-muscular Disease, similar to Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy. Because of his physical deterioration, we don't know how long he will be able to work, so I am going back to school in June to become a Registered Nurse! I am excited about the opportunity to learn something new, although my kids think it's pretty funny that mommy is going to be a student just like them. I am hoping it will help me to better take care of my husband as his disease progresses. Besides taking care of my kids, I spend a lot of time refinishing old furniture, gardening, and trying to improve my photography skills. But most days are filled with the park, play dates, cheerios, diapers, homework, soccer and way, way too many paper towels.
