Random thoughts of Megan

I am quite happy with today so far, and here are a few reasons why:

1) I slept in! Now before you get mad at me for skipping German, I know for a fact I didn't miss anything important because now we are moving on to verbs, which are REALLY easy and also I NEEDED IT! All of my roommates get at least one or two days during the week in which they can sleep until their hearts content. But not me =[ I am up by 8am Monday through Thursday and then 7am on Fridays! So I needed it and it seriously made my week better already =]

2) I actually kind of learned something in photography! I guess I probably already knew it but it was a great review that I actually needed on lenses and focal range.

3) Devotional was on Temple attendance today which is good because I have yet to have gone so I need to get on that. But it also reminded me of this one time this past year when we went with the youth. During that time I was able to do the work of an older woman for her grandmother and great grandmother and afterward I was able to talk to the woman and she thanked me for doing their baptisms. It was a great feeling knowing I was able to be a tool in the Lord's hands to do the work for this woman so that her family may accept and enjoy the blessings of the gospel.

4) Also during devotional I saw the smallest, cutest baby girl ever! She was probably a few weeks old, with dark thick brown hair that stuck out in all directions. Her mother wasn't much bigger than me and the baby's head was not much bigger than my fist. She was amazingly quiet during the talk except for one or two little moans of sleepiness. It was so quiet I barely noticed but man, I swear EVERYONE within 15 feet heard and all turned to look at this tiny baby!!!! And being all kind-hearted softies, we all sighed and awed at the little thing. For some reason, that made me happy, maybe it's because most of the people I knew back home never want to have kids and that is sad. =[ Where as here, if there is a baby, we all just oogle at the darling little thing and are secretly dying to hold it and touch it's tiny hands and feet. Let's face it, everything tiny is CUTE, except for when it's candy (bite size is not "fun" size, fun size is as big as your head!) then tiny is just dumb.

5) I got to talk to Aaron after devotional and I got to hear ALLLLLL about his awesome day! I love hearing such news especially from Aaron since he doesn't usually say very much about his life.

6) My dear, sweet mother sent off a package to me today, even though I only barely asked her last night. And now I am going to have my warm fuzzy fleece blanket that I have been missing terribly! But not as much as I miss my dear mother and father and Aaron!

7) I came home to a clean kitchen! Alisa and Cacia did the dishes and mopped the floor. They did the dishes because they knew it would make me happy not to have to do them! And it did! =D =D (When I woke up this morning, we had NO cups, bowls or spoons. We had 2 forks and 3 knives. Seriously.) So I am EXTREMELY grateful to them for doing that! =D =D =D =D

8) We have banana pudding, I ate some for breakfast and it was HEAVENLY!!!!

9) I got to chat with Jared Hall for awhile last night, it was fun and I am going to see him and his family this weekend in Provo =]

10) Speaking of Provo......I GET TO SEE MY SISTER ON FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! (If you missed my last post.....let's just say that saying I am excited to see my sister is an understatement....)

11) I found my ipod!!! Surprisingly behind my bed since I never have it on or anywhere near my bed....but oh well. =]

Cleanliness is next to Godliness =]

Update for my Sister

To give a bit of an update, I now have housing for the fall at Mountain Pines with Cacia (from High Point) and possibly Alisa. She called me at the last minute to see if she could still at least me in my apartment if not roomies. I am all too excited to have friends to be with and to live in one of the prettiest states ever.

Currently I have two huge projects for photo and do not have enough time to shoot them along with all the rest of the work I have to do. But I will make it work somehow. I am a bit excited for the documentary through. I am either shooting my friend Chris, who is in a band and has been playing guitar since he was young, or shooting my little brother since he can play pretty much any instrument he picks up, writes music and even won a reward for a song h composed. I am extremely proud of him. He is brilliant in almost everything he tries, if not all.

I have recently been on a cleaning spree, cleaning absolutely everything. I cleaned out my car (which REEEEAAALLLY needed cleaning, no one could sit in there and I have been driving lots of people lately), I cleaned my room (clothes everywhere) and I cleaned out and organized my book bag which took longer than cleaning my room! I also changed the oil on my car (after showering) and got oil all over my face. But my dad was extremely proud and has been bragging about it all weekend because I did not freak out about getting down and dirty.

My life consists of trying to keep up with friends, close by and far away and making time to be with them. Along with that I have been trying to spend more time with the family, I do not feel old enough to go to college yet and so I want to make sure I spend what little time left I have with the people that matter most. I know these next few months will fly faster than I would like but I cannot control that so I must make the best with what time is given to me. outside of home and family, school is slipping by and trying hard to make sure I keep up with school is a great deal of work. Trying to study harder, keep up with reading and projects and homework. Finally time for myself mixed with babysitting take up the last of my time. Saving up for college has become vital and now every penny goes to having a home and food to eat in college. My free time is spent doing puzzle games. I do sudoku in order to give me time to think and focus, reflecting on life and time spent.

Life is overall great. I have fun playing the Wii with Chase and watching Disney movies. Spending time with friends watching girly movies and talking about all the adventures we want to have before we go our separate ways. Watching old movies with the family and enjoying life, making me happy makes life worth living. And now spring weather is headed this way opening new gates to fun, adventures and relaxation. Life is good.

Stop and take a break,
Meg
