This week has been so much fun. I had many changes in my life. I mean I normally am not one for change, but I am kind of excited about it. This is definitely part of me feeling really good about this year.
So about these changes. First off when I walked in Monday to work and Shea my adopted big brother walked up to me and told me that the full time position that I have been wanting. I was so excited. So yesterday was my official last on my team. Mind you that is not all happy. I will miss them, but I am not to far from them. What makes this so great I mean I am working more? Well I have really missed that team a whole lot. They where my first team at work and they are kind of like my family. Well not only that, I am wanting to be a team lead and Shea wants me to be one. In fact funny story last night I gave him a homemade cinnamon roll and he goes oh did you buy these...yeah not to happy so I told him that I was not going to make him anything. His reply....well you will if you want to be my team lead. I guess my face was priceless he could not stop laughing.
That was the big change this week. there have been small changes as well ya know.
This week was interesting to I have learned so much. I was able to really see I have so much to be grateful for in my life. My friends and family. I just am so lucky to have the people in my life that really do care about me. I love it.

Holidays
I love the Holidays!!! I love being around my family and friends. The thing was I did not get to leave this beautiful town of Rexburg until Christmas eve and let me tell ya it was quite and adventure. I left at 2 am and got into Salt Lake at about 6. Mind you my plane did not leave until almost 9 am. The ride down was less than eventful. I attempted to sleep which I had not gotten in almost 2 days. So get through security and realize that there is no way that I am going to be able to sleep.
Fast forward an hour and I am waiting for my aunt to show up to catch the same flight. I go make sure that we have seats next to each other. I'm pretty excited I have not seen her in like a month and could not wait to talk to her. Well they start boarding the plane and my aunts still has not gone through security. I'm freaking out and sitting there waiting for her. Final boarding is called and still no Amanda she calls and goes just get on the plane. So I do and I think great she has missed the flight. Then this high maintenance lady sitting behind me is freaking out....I mean freaking out yelling at the flight attendance to wait for her daughter. So I call my aunt and tell her to try and hurry because they are holding the plane. Long story short she still missed the plane.
So high maintenance lady's daughter gets there she is just like her mother....GREAAAAT! Well one of her kids is a wanna be Jimmer. Typical Utah people. He proceeds to kick the back of my seat the whole flight to Spokane. Almost killed the kid. So did not get to sleep again. Finally I am in Spokane and I get off the plane and head to get my bags. I am going to find my family and put my bags away and High maintenance and her family walk out and sure enough she is in a full length fur coat. I wanted to beat them all.
I was so happy to see my family but man did I want to sleep. I have learned that I need to sleep before I go visit my family. They had so much planed out for us that day alone.
I finally got to finish my shopping for Christmas and then I think "I can finally take a nap." Think again Kaylie you get to go stand out in the cold to watch eagles. SO go do that and it starts raining. I am so miserable and cold and wet. The best part I could count the amount of eagles that I saw on 2 fingers.
After that though I get to take a nap.
Christmas Eve night was fun as usual. Kids and food everywhere. I was so excited at the fact that I got a Walmart gift card. The best part of that was I thought to myself "YES free food!" Got to love being a college student.
Christmas morning was the best. My dad woke all of the kids up. That is not right at all. The best part is that he didn't even leave his bed to do so. He called both my brother and me then the little kiddos got up.
I did get some pretty good presents. I get to go to Coldplay this April!! Thank you Santa. Actually I got 2 tickets in my stocking and Morgan did not get one. So me being me goes "I think Santa wants me to bring a boyfriend." Morgan was not to happy. I got another camera. a couple of books and other things like that.
Off to church we go at 9 am. Man I did not miss that at all. We only had sacrament meeting and it was great. Then home for breakfast and the Elders came over too. I proceeded to fall on my butt getting out of the car...LOVE MY LIFE!
Sarah looks so happy that it is Christmas...I'm not that bad when I don't get sleep
Morgan and I got bored before church.
We then watched Recess School is out. I love that movie so much! Then headed up to my grandpa's family. I have not seen them in a long time and it was so fun and good to see them.
Over all it was a good day and I had so much fun.
Monday I just hung out and cleaned things up. I went to my Grandma's house and hung out it was tons of fun. I got to hang out with Marcy. We went downtown and I ate at Red Robin. I have missed that place. Rexy needs to get some good food restaurants. Then went home and hung out.
Tuesday a day full of crazy. I went and saw people at work. I miss Larry and Charlie. They are so funny. Charlie was surprised that I was not married and did not have a kid yet. I took an order and that was so weird but good to know I still had it. Then I hung out with my Grandma and my aunt and her kids. They had an air soft war in the back yard. we had a twister tournament too. after dinner we went out and watched Breaking Dawn. After that I went and hung out with Ben Jon O Zach and Brittney.It was so good to see all of them.
WE played games and watched a movie and I didn't get home until 4 am. Yeah that is never good.
Wednesday was me just getting ready to leave the next day. So got shopping done and fun things like that.
Then the travels back....Yeah almost missed my plane then my bus broke down and I was late for work.
Then worked the rest of the week.
New Years Eve....Yeah had some people over and played games it was way fun.
There is one thing that I am sure about. Last year was all sorts of Crazy and I had good times and some not so good times but I've learned a lot and cant wait for this year. I cannot wait to see what it brings. I have a feeling it will be a good one!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep the title says it all that is all I can think about this week. I cannot think straight and cant remember what I have to do! Which is not a good thing during finals week at all. There is one thing though I did get my logo done for my Pay it Forward project! I am so excited for this project. I am so glad that my teacher challenged us to try and make the world a better place.
I am so excited to go home. Its so close yet so far away. I hate the fact that I it takes so long to get actually get to the day that I get to go home and then when I do it home it goes by like it is nothing at all. So not fair.
I totally should be studying right now but my mind cannot focus on the task at hand. and the fact that my roommate is making sooooo much noise. Yep signing she is so great about thinking about others.
well only 3 more days and I am done.
I got a letter from Jackson I miss that boy so mucho. he is doing so good. I am so proud of him. He is working hard, this week he had a baptism. The one thing that drives me crazy is the fact that he actually tells me how hot it is while I freeze here in Iceburg.
I also got to talk to my grandpa today. I miss that man. He is so great he always puts a smile on my face no matter what the situation is. I am so grateful for the wonderful family that I have. I am so blessed. They are amazing. I have the best parents in the world! They always take time out to be there for me and listen to me. I cant wait to see them....Lets all hope I am able to get those 2 weeks off of work that way I am able to spend sometime with them!

Saturday Craziness!
Finals are upon us here at BYU-I. I am so excited to not sleep for the next 5 days.Well I have successfully talked my self out of giving plasma today. Now is that a good or a bad thing I am not sure at all. We shall see. All in all it has been a pretty productive day.
I woke up and cleaned a little then started a final. This final is one where you pretty much get a 100% on it. Well I cannot find the answer to one of the questions for the life of me. Now being it's College Basketball season this means of course I am watching basketball while taking this test. The coolest end to a basketball just happened to be on. There was a knock out blow out fight it was so bad they did not even finish the game. IT WAS SO TOTALLY AWESOME! I have never in my life seen a bench clear out as fast as that one.Basketball got better as the day went on as well. There were some really good games on which only made me realize that this is going to be one crazy season. Nothing however can explain better why I love College basketball than the Kentucky and Indiana game. Indiana winning literally with only seconds left by putting up a beautiful 3. There is nothing better than seeing a buzzer beater when the number one team in the nation looses to a team that is not even ranked. Now I am just holding out for my Zags to take down Michigan State!
I have been cleaning out everything in my house that way all I have to worry about this week is my finals. I grabbed all of my stuff out of my kitchen and am now eating off of everything plastic. I have been so excited for this week to come and now I just want it to be over. I have finished one of my finals and it went really well. I just now have presentations to give this week. That is the one thing that I love about being a communication major. I do not really have final tests you just take the last month of school to work on projects that will all be presented the last week of school for five different people.
This semester has been crazy and I am so glad it is over. Next semester looks like it is going to be full of fun and exciting adventures. I am so excited to share my room with one of my favorite roommates ever. Work is looking like there are going to be many great opportunities opening up for me! Over all I have had a good year and cant wait for the new one to begin. Despite the fact that this week being crazy!
All that is left to say: GO GONZAGA!
