In a World Where you Can be anything.. Be yourself

So.. I was just sitting here today when I came across this quote "In a world where you can be anything, be yourself" and I just thought to myself.. How simple of a thought, and yet how profound! Some days this is such a hard thing to do?! Why?! I have no idea.. good question ky! =) But along with this quote I would simply like to add.. be your best self. So that is what I am going to be today.. me, myself, and I! And I am sure going to try to be the best me that I can be =) Today.. I am Kylee Anderson.. nothing more, and nothing less. I am simply a student trying to make it through alive.. and finding laughs along the way, I am a dreamer, I am a girl of many hopes, I am a daughter of my Heavenly Father, I am a laugher, I am a crier, I am a pathetic chocolate lover, I have a sore spot for play dough ice cream, I am a sister, I am a hopeless romantic, I am a reader, I am a tease, I am a dork, I am a singer to the radio, I a runner when I want to be, I am a flat shoe lover, I am a potential diver, I am a chick flick lover, I am a mess some days, I am a future excellent blogger =) I am a little kid lover, I am me!

My Sunshine Shay is married!

Okay, I must admit, I have been a slacker in all forms of the word for not writing on my blog more often! I would like to apologize to all my fans.. haha.. ;) I will do my best at writing more often.. and as I think about what has been happening lately I could kick myself for not sharing one of the most important days in my whole life!

My twin sister aka Sunshine Shay, Shay, "tatoe", best friend in the whole world married her prince charming, Dixon Wade Leavitt on May 28, 2008 in the bountiful temple! oh my! if only I knew how to upload pictures on my blog I would upload them so you could see :) haha.. but my words are going to have to be the pictures you see I guess until I figure out how to blog better :)

Oh my! she couldn't have picked a better day to get married on. It had been raining all week.. but not this day.. it was just beautiful and sunny and just a "Shaylee" day! It was so neat because all my life me and shay would always talk about what boy we would get to meet and then marry. We always dreamed up of how we would meet them, and what they would look like.. and I tell you, it is so neat to me that Shaylee didn't settle for anything.. she found her prince charming, her soul mate! Dixon treats Shay like a queen, and I hope every girl can find a "Dixon" in their life. I tell you what it has definately been a huge hug from my Heavenly Father, to bear witness to me that He has a plan for each of us, and we are all here for a purpose, and he doesn't want us to settle for everything, and that we can be blessed if we live the best we can, and live the commandments the best we can! I am so grateful for Shay's example to me, and I just love and look up to her so much!

It was so neat to see all of the people that came to Shay's wedding and also to her reception.. Shay and Dixon have just touched so many people's lives, including my own, and it was just so neat that so many people would drive from all over Utah to come and give their best wishes.. it meant so much to me that they have such a strong support system, and I just love everyone who came!

Aah! yay! I am just so happy! I feel so undeserving and yet so blessed at the same time to have Shaylee Anderson Leavitt as my twin sister. I know that Heavenly Father knew that I needed her! What a great gift he has given me, and am forever grateful for the endless blessings that Shay has been in my life!

okay.. funny story

So, I have to share this story..

Kay, So I am at work at Kohl's, and I am just minding my own business just folding towels and making the home department of our stoor look nice, and this guy comes up to me with I guess were his sisters. So, I kindly greet them with a hello (as we are told to do) and I ask them if they are finding everything okay.. and they say yep.. well I hear these whispers coming from their direction.. and then all of the sudden I am left with this boy and his sisters run off!! What kind sisters he has! =) And he starts talking to me.. kay.. So, I was just like oh my! what to do, What to do.. So, you know he tries to get a conversation going and I was trying to be nice, without being too nice.. there is a fine line though! Anyway.. so this boy pulls out his phone and is about to use the "hey here's my phone.. oh can I get your number by the way" lines.. and he asks so.. your boyfriend would be pretty upset if he saw me talking to you right now wouldn't he. So, I just quickly thought it out.. and I hate to lie.. but I had too! So, I said yep. But it gets better.. he stayed and talked with me for ever after that.. and just wouldn't leave. Oh my, I was like.. okay than.. and he just was a weird guy.. anyway.. he finally doesn't say anything he just leaves! Phew! Crazy utah boys! Dating life is tough! =)

haha.. just thought I would share!

just reflecting

So, you know those nights where your brain just doesn't want to stop thinking??? Here are just some random thoughts that I have...

2. I have the best support system!

3. Play dough ice cream is heaven

4. Laughter is the best medicine.. and can brighten any day

5. Patience is a virtue.

6. Little kids are the world's greatest teachers

7. I want to wake up tomorrow at seven am and go running.. the question is.. is can I wake up that early??

8. Random weird boys that hit on me at work.. are well.. weird! and I don't know what to do about them!

9. It takes one minute to meet someone, one hour to get to know someone, one day to love somone, and a lifetime to forget them

10. I wonder what adventures I will embark on this summer..

11. What am I going to do without a roomate? I have never not had one.. cause I have always shared a room with my twin sister shay..

Just so you know...l April is windy

So, um, I go outside today in a skirt.. now for the girls who are reading this, I am sure you are going uh oh, and for the guys who are reading this.. be glad that you will never go outside on a windy day in a skirt.. =) haha

Gotta love the weather!

So, today, I wake up and look outside my window.. and yes, it was snowing! SNOWING in April! can you believe it! I was a little saddened.. but I got to thinking about it and I think that I am extremely blessed because Heavenly Father has given me Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall all in one week! Who ever gets that? not many people outside the state of Utah I bet=)

SUNNY DAYS!!!

You know when you wait for spring break to come, and it inches closer and closer, and then all of the sudden it is just gone in a flash? haha.. well, I have just been having the BEST spring break I have ever had in my entire life! Get a group of friends to hop on board and go to Southern Utah! It equals the time of my life! How grateful I am for the break from school, and who to better spend it with! aah! I am so thankful for the springtime! And the break from school! Whoo!
