Some People Call it Valentines Day, I call it Tuesday

So its valentines day. And just like every year in the past I am single! But this year for some reason it does't make me sad or disappointed.  Today I can't help but be happy.
Love has many forms, there is romantic love (which is idolized on this somewhat infamous day), family love, friend love, child-like love and all sorts of other types of love.  And I have had the chance to experience all of them! I am so lucky and so LOVED!
So here's how I look at it... I can be sad that I am not in the typical manipulative high school relationship, or I can be happy that I do have love in my life.
So here is a thank you to all my friends and family that I love.  Truly (as cheesy as this sounds) you are all my valentines!  I love you all so much and I wish you luck in your romantic endeavors on this day!

All my LOVE,
Maegan

Wise Decisions

In my pantry, side by side, we have a container of almonds and chocolate covered almonds. Can you guess which ones are disappearing fastest? ;)

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

My dad once told me that I probably wouldn't find the importance of Trek till years later.  Today I was looking through all our trek pictures and listening to Pandora and the song Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing came on.  It moved me nearly to tears as I scanned through these pictures.  I was remembering all that happened so that I could go on trek, my initial feelings of loathing towards my parents for making me go, and the end result.  . It was then that I found the meaning of trek, and it wasn't what I expected. I suppose to every person who went there could be a large variety of different reasons, each profound in their own way.  To me trek showed me that I can do hard things, that I can make it through every challenge and trial in my life. I am sad to say that I did not walk the whole distance, and everyday since then I have regretted it, however on my 17th birthday I accomplished my biggest goal during trek, I made it up Rocky Ridge. I discovered something in doing so, I discovered that my trial is not Rocky Ridge, or even just walking across the plains, my trials are different but just as difficult to me as the trek was to those who made the trip so many years ago.

its my Birf-day! (nope not my birthday)

Tonight I spent the night with some of my lovely co-workers.  We went to dinner and basically had a GNO. I loved every minute of it!  These girls were so sweet and took me out to dinner for my "birthday". It was so much fun. I am so lucky to know these amazing girls!  After many laughs and seeing a new side of Katie, to talking about Asian Persuasion and aliens with Jade (oh and a marvelous toast), to having anniversaries with Kenzi, and "swinging" with Cheryse we had a marvelous night!  Thank you girls so much! (I don't know why I am blue in this picture!)

62 Days

62 days of hiding my emotions
62 days of missing you
62 days of pretending
62 days of different
62 days since my daddy passed away
2 months.

Sometimes...

Sometimes people don't think before they speak
sometimes people don't know what they are talking about
sometimes life isn't fair
sometimes people confuse me
sometimes I don't brush my teeth
sometimes I make mistakes
sometimes skipping class is a good thing
sometimes getting dressed up is fun
sometimes I still love you
sometimes I wonder if people know
sometimes....

I Never Considered Myself to be a Pink Kinda Girl

I bought a dress.
Yes a dress.
And it is pink
and ruffled
and shiny
and flowy
and every other feminine adjective you could think of.
oh, did I forget to mention,
it is pink.
I ordered a custom made silk chiffon hand beaded evening gown to wear to sweethearts.  And I am so excited for it to come, only one problem.
The dance is on the 11 of February
my package is scheduled to be delivered "before the 12th".
I am kinda freaking out.
If it gets here in time then I will have the most gorgeous dress I could have ever imagined
if not...


I don't want to think about it.
