It's been a rush, but my heart is still beating.

Lately I've been running around enjoying life. I've been with Marley (pictures below) and I've been trying to get school things sorted out.. It's been a rush for sure knowing that I'm out of high school and now I have soo much more responsibility. Bleh. I'm moving to Orem for sure this week, I'm not exactly what day just yet.. but I'm ready.. Yesterday coming home from work I got stuck in two hour traffic with Rogers car. Rogers cars coolant is out, so the cars temperature was getting hotter so I had to blast the heat so it wouldn't overheat in the middle of the freeway during traffic. It was horrible. I had no water, nothing cold at all, so the whole time I was praying to make it home awake. I thought I was going to pass out at times and I was sweating so bad. Luckily, I'm in Layton today because I had an Orthodontist appointment (I'm getting my braces off in 12 weeks!) so Roger can fix my car when he gets home.. I hope everyone is doing well. :)

My family is the best family I could ever be in. My brother Jake who is out on his mission (Australia), just wrote me. All his letters bring me to tears.. EVERY time.. I miss my best friend. He's always been a part of me and has been such a great hero for me. SUCH a great example.. OH! these pictures are pictures of my brother going to the MTC.. This is a little snippet of his letter to me from today:

  Megan- sometime this week, read Alma 32:27. This is the scripture that really hit me
when I first came out here on my mission. Because it is the way that you can find out
if anything that we teach is right or not. I know it's probably tough for you to go to
church. One thing I've learned for sure is that the church is a perfect church- it's
just full of imperfect people. I love you. I want you to feel the happiness that I'm feeling.
I feel such peace from the gospel that I teach. Everything about it...the temple and what
you learn there, the atonement, etc, just everything is just...right.

Lazy days, and crazy nights

Last night a couple of my friends and I went clubbing at club sound (gay night) and it was a BLAST! haha! Chloe's friends Sarah and Noelle have never been before and they had so much fun. It was great to see old friends there and to become better friends with new friends.. It seems like there is nothing better on the weekends then to get lost in the beat of the music and flashing lights.. The only down side to this is I'm not getting much sleep at night. I roll into bed about three or four in the morning exhausted from the night, but then I wake up early cause I have this problem where I can't sleep past about ten..
I love my life right now though. I feel like I'm doing the best for myself.. I'm not into drugs, I'm happy with myself, and I have great friends. :)
Oh p.s. if you ever get the chance, subscribe to the podcast "This American Life" It's SO good and educational believe it or not. There's a new one every Monday.. I hope everyone is doing well!

Old rememberance.

Today is just another amazing summer day. Last night my friends Chloe, Emma, and a bunch of Emma's friends and I went to Area (eighties night) for Emma's birthday. :) It was fun, but kinda got old after awhile. It was just a really small room so it got hot VERY fast. I went in drag and everyone else also dressed up.. It was amazing fun. :)
Anyways, this is a poem I wrote in creative writing this year, that I thought I'd post:

Heart-Covered Bridge
The bridge was covered
She kept her heart tattooed to her skin,
And it took shape as a scarlet rose.

The wood stretched for miles,
And seemed meaningless with no water beneath
Yet she dangled her porcelain feet off the edge
Loosely focused on a New York Times.

Approached, She gasped and stood,
Made a run for it down the
Bridge.
Her silk white calved dissipating
Into the unlit wood work.

Her footsteps becoming the snapping of a typewriter
Pressing old ink.
Ink that told the story of a girl
With a heart tattoo and New York Times
-Megan

Oh when the day is blue, I sit here wondering about you..

River and I FINALLY hung out again after about 2-3 years and everything was JUST like it used to be..

Chloe and I shared a father on Fathers Day. haha We're nerds :)

This is my friend Whitney and I enjoying long summer nights. :)

Today I have been really thinking about this summer and how much fun it has been. What's sad is this is my last summer as a teenager. :( I'm so sad, but I know that I'll still have that child inside of me that comes out every once in awhile.. Today I got an awesome job, I'm going to be baby-sitting two little girls at the age of two! Marley and Katelyn. They're SOO cute and I'm very excited to run around with them..
