Believe it or not.. I have a twin..

Haha.. so today I am looking over our ward list and the pictures with all of the girls in my ward.. and I see this girl that no kidding looks exactly like me. I looked at the name, and I looked at the picture.. and it was a different girl by the name of I think Sarah.. which is funny because that used to be my nickname.. or part of a nickname when I was little (haha.. shay you will get that part=)) Anyway.. so.. she has dark hair and brown eyes.. so we aren't identical.. but she has the same nose, chin, and smile as me! Weird huh! Shay doesn't even look that much like me.. crazy huh.

History Class

You know those days where you are in class and the teacher is teaching and you know they are saying something really important that is going to be on the test? And your eyelids just feel so heavy, but you try your hardest to fight to stay awake. You fidget around with your backpack, put lip gloss on, doodle on your notes, drink water, stretch.. and yet nothing seems to work? Then you look at the clock and no time has passed at all.. and you know your doomed?!:) Well.. that was how history was for me the other day.. and I guess I was dozing off but woke up really fast only to look up and find this kid laughing at me. hahah.. I mean I think I would laugh at me too.. I was probably quite the sight! But still.. full on laughing at me! haha.. so that woke me up.. I was so embarrassed.. and after class he comes up to me and says I am so sorry, but you just made my day.. I guess he had been dozing off too and woke up with a start and looked back at the class only to see me doing the exact same thing! Next class period he brought me smarties.. so that I could stay awake.. funny huh!

Lesson Learned

Oh man! I am trying to figure out how to start this story! =) Okay, so being on leadership, one of the things I have an opportunity to get to do is welcome our foreign exchange students to snow.. and show them where they live and get them all settled in. It is such a neat opportunity, and my heart truly reaches out to them. Can you imagine moving thousands of miles to a new country only know how to speak a tiny bit of english.. I mean we don't even have the same alphabet! I don't think I could do it! Okay, so anyway.. their plane didn't fly in until late at night so they didn't arrive here until about eleven o' clock. Anyway, so a bunch of us were there ready to greet them.. and me and my friend meet our fellow students who had just had a two day long flight.. and Kylee realizes her car can't fit all of their luggage let alone all of their luggage plus me, my friend, and these two students! So, I didn't know what to do.. So luckily they had the wheeley suitcases.. but I felt so bad cause we just had to walk around trying to find out where they live. I thought I knew where they lived.. but when we got to where I thought their apartments were.. there were no apartments.. PROBLEMO! so.. we kept walking.. I ran back and got my car and tried to drive ahead.. and by this time about a half hour has passed with the four of us trugging the streets of Ephraim late late at night. Anyway, so we finally found one of their apartments and get them all settled in.. and we walk back out to my car to take the other student to his apartment.. and I realize that my keys are no where to be found.. haha.. I couldn't help but just laugh to myself.. because these poor people.. they travel all this way to only travel more.. and now my keys are gone! So with much ado.. we searched for my keys and eventually found them as we retraced my tracks :) haha.. then my keys almost got locked in my car with all of the luggage.. but we won't go there.. but so then this other student didn't live in apartments.. he lived in like a town house.. and I didn't have an address.. so we were just driving around looking for a white town house in the general area that it was supposed to be in.. and we saw a house and we were like "AH HA!" we have found it! and we tried the key.. and it didn't work.. pretty sure a family lived in the house that we were trying to get into.. I am sure they thought we were trying to break in.. so we drove around for like ten minutes.. and now it is about midnight.. and we finally make a few phone calls and get pointed in the right direction.. And we all made it home in one peace.. I hope I didn't traumatize these guys to much.. So the lesson to be learned is.. if you get to host people and show them where they will be going.. make sure you find where you are going before you try to show them :)

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!
