So obviously I could have done better, however, that being said, I think that this year exceeded every expectation I had.  I have had so many wonderful opportunities.  I would not trade one moment of this year for anything.  I wanted to thank a moment and thank anyone and everyone who has made a difference in my life this year.  The SBO's, PLT, my teachers, my friends.  Thank you for everything you have done to make me one of Alta High's success stories.  This year has been like a dream, so much good has happened in my life, while it was still the most trying year of my life.  I am so excited to see what the future holds, but I am and will always be a HAWK.

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

Cancer Sucks, God is Great

Sometimes I like to wonder why life is unfair, why a just God would allow his children to suffer. I have watched many people fight this horrible disease called cancer.  I watched my own father die in front of me. I watched my aunt battle with it for 6 years until it finally overtook her. I've watched my dear friend Tiff struggle as well.  And now another person close to me has contracted this disease.  It seems like the doctors will only tell you one of two things; one, its a virus, two, you have cancer.

HOWEVER, through it all I have discovered that God is just. He loves each and every one of his children.  He will not allow us to go through things that we can not handle.  It is natural to wonder why, to question the method of this madness, but we cannot let us loose sight and focus on the Lord.

Cancer doesn't just affect the patient, it effects everyone around them.
We fight with you.
Christ fights with you.
You are never alone.


Love ya Lex! <3 13

ER trips and good friends

I broke my arm.  Yep that's right. Broke. And to make my story even more dramatic it was 11:30 at night while I was on a date.  My adorable date had to drive me home (in my own car) so my mom could take me to the ER. He was so sweet and defs totes one of my favorite guys I've ever taken on a date. So after multiple xrays and two hours I was given a loritab and 800 mg of ibuprofen and sent home.

one thing I've learned.  I have the best friend a girl could ask for.
Braden was the most chivalrous date ever
Kayla curled my hair
Sara made me brownies
Ryan brought me delicious orange rolls
Bee took me to my photo shoot and carried around all my stuff
Shayna made me cookies
Syd washed my hair in the kitchen sink

I am immensely blessed.
