This time it really is my birfday

Well it is true, I have officially turned 18! I have now entered the realm of adulthood. I hate to say it but it was not as exciting as you might think. I had an awesome birthday I went boating with the singles ward (crazy!), went to Draper Days, got a crock pot!, and ended the evening by spooning with Ben and Jerry while watching Say Yes To The Dress.  Overall the day was marvelous.
I was kinda hoping that by becoming an adult I would feel ready for the major changes that are coming so quickly in my life. Well it didn't. I feel no more prepared today then I did a few days ago, in fact I may be even more nervous!  As of right now I move out in 25 days.  I am still getting used to saying that I am moving out! It is still a foreign concept to me!
On the bright side I received a wonderful letter from an amazing missionary!

What you might not know is....

Well It's been a while since I have posted and I have gone through blog withdrawals... So a little update on my life since graduation: I was in Lake Powell for two whole weeks! I had so much fun and really enjoyed being on the water and being with some really good friends.  After a close encounter with almost sinking our houseboat I was more then relieved to be home by the time all was said and done. This past week I have loved getting to spend some girl time just me and my mom, that right! We have been the only two home this whole past week!  It has been great.  Other then that my life has been pretty uneventful.

To keep this from being too boring of a blog post I am going to tell you some little known facts about myself...

so here goes...
-I love popcorn
-my little toenails don't grow
-I love being a white girl with freckles
-I only wear push-up bras
-I have had my heart broken many times by my supposed friends
-I have a secret crush on boys with (good looking) mustaches
-I love to sing
-I am completely addicted to Diet Coke with lime
-my biggest regret of high school is that I was never actually in student gov.
-I am deathly afraid of spiders
-I pray every night for a cure for cancer
-I visit a certain unmarked grave about twice a week
-I once sneezed and hit my head on my steering wheel
-I think men should always pay when on a date
-I usually read a book a week
-I cry in movies all the time
-I have had two spots on my face removed to be biopsied for cancer
-I've never been pulled over
-I really want to go skydiving
-I love going to weddings
-I am an expert at changing clothes while driving
-I have a terrible temper that is often aggravated by lack of sleep
-I need a crazy amount of sleep to function
-It took me two hours to come up with this list

Maybe I'll post more later... but for now leave a comment/question with something you have always wanted to know about me!

In the words of Emily Clark, "Remember we are one, and we are and always and forever will be ALTA!"


My graduation speech!!

one last day.

Well, the time has come. Graduation is tomorrow. I can't believe it's here! It has been one of the most amazing years.  I can't believe this is what I have done with my life.  Tomorrow I will walk with my graduating class and that will be the end of high school. I wish to thank all who have influenced my life this year.  Words cannot describe how much this year has changed me.  I will forever remember my time at Alta High School.  It has been a pleasure.

Here's to the Alta High School Graduating Class of 2012.

See ya in 2!

Love you Elder!

My Dear Elder William Stacy Ebenezer Maurer,

Congratulations on this big step in your life. You are going to be a fabulous missionary! Today at your "farewell" you gave one of the most emotional talks I have ever heard.  Your conviction for the gospel was evident as you proclaimed your beliefs to a large crowd of your loved ones.

Stace, you will never know how much you have impacted my life, and for the better.  I remember you when you first moved into the ward, you had dark hair and to all us girls who had grown up with the other boys you were like an exotic bird.  It took me a long time to really feel comfortable here, and you helped so much.  A couple summers ago you, Brig and Lex kinda took me in. We did so many things! From bonfires to cabin nights it seemed like you were always inviting me somewhere. Because of that summer I changed my life around, I really came out of my shell.  Thank you for teaching me how to be accepting of everyone and how to be a true friend.  That's what you are, you are a true and amazing friend.  I owe so much to you and your love and kindness.  Thank you so so very much for always being someone I can talk to.  You really are someone that I feel understands some of my struggles. Thank you for helping me through them and never judging me.

Now, just like I told Nick, remember as you are going on your mission, that you are a Son of our Heavenly Father, and he loves you. You have made some great decisions in your life and I believe that with the time you have left you will continue to make great decisions. However, the devil is a cunning man and will do what ever it takes to bring you down. DON'T LET HIM! You are too great a person and we need people like you to proclaim the good word of the gospel.

Stacy you are going to have an amazing two years.  There is so much to look forward to.  The Lord loves you, your family loves you, I and many other people love you.  Now is the time to go and do the work.

All my love, Maegan
