Life.

I'm about ready to be done with school and married. Decorate our tiny apartment, only clean up after him and I, blog more, sleep more, do married people "stuff", but most importantly I'm just excited to be with Jon all the time.

Yesterday Lorraine Ricker passed away. She was the mom that pretty much everyone loved. I remember going over to her house in high school during my early release period and she would have a snack ready for Alan and I. She was always laughing, always loud, and always in a good mood. Ally and I were talking about how we never saw her moody or anything. I am sad to say that when Jon came to Texas I didn't bring him over to meet her. After I got back to Idaho my dad told me he had seen the Ricker's and she told my dad to scold me for not having him over so she could approve of him. hahaha. She will be missed. I love you Lorraine! I'm glad we have you to watch over us until we meet again....

So lately I've been stalking craft blogs like mad, I have this dresser that I'm in the process of painting. I'm adding some knobs as well. I love crafting! It's so relaxing and SO wife-like! hahahhaa. I'll be posting pics of the finished product :)

I got my student teaching placement! I'll be teaching 5th grade at Fremont Elementary in Salt Lake. I'm sorta nervous about 5th grade because I have never been in an older classroom, but I NEED the experience and I'm very very excited! I've been SO lucky so far with getting great cooperating teachers...I hope my luck doesn't run out. Teaching is my passion. I've grown so much just this semester with my skills in the classroom. I have learned a lot and Heavenly Father is blessing me with the tme, ability, and confidence that I CAN teach and I will be able to get a job and make a difference in at least one child's life..

Well I better get back to my dresser! I hope everyone is having an amazing week. Peace in the middle east.

Happy.

So I was stalking  Stephj's blog and saw this "shabbychic" blog thing and so i started browsing and found my current flower background...i HAD to use it because it's called "Megan". I immediately knew it was fate.

It's a beautiful Saturday morning. Well it's 12:15pm so i guess it's the afternoon, but whatever. Waking up at 6am everyday during the week is making it impossible for me to sleep past 8 on the weekends! GAY! But it's probably fine because I have already gotten all my laundry done, and started working on my lesson for sunday school tomorrow.

I'm just really happy.

(but look semi-creep in this pic)

and it's probably because I wear this everyday:

and its so much more than a ring to me.

Me and My Boo! (he's now mustache free)

With Jaxon (James and Katie's adorable son) Jon's gonna be such a good dad! (when the time is right PEOPLE)

Me Mads and Jon just loving each other!!

98 more days til we are rollin up and getting married HERE!

UM, how cute are Mom and Maddie? Miss you!

WELL you can probably tell that I learned how to include pictures in a post today! haha. ENJOY! Have a great weekend. Love yall.

The Apple to My Hazel Eyes.

One annoying thing: My lamp light flickers.

SO I used to be sad because I lost my camera charger...then I saw that my roommate has the same one! YESSS. That does still mean I'll have to get a new one at the end of summer, but until then: CHARGE ON CAMERA, Charge on!!!

This Saturday was so amazing. I decided to go to Idaho Falls to get my ring cleaned and do some shopping with my sis and a couple friends. So we're at the ring store and I turn around and BAM, there's the love of my life, the apple to my eye (whatever that means), the reason I wake up happy every.day. JON!!!!!!!! We havent seen each other in two long weeks, so he decided to surprise me. It comes as a complete shock that Ally kept this a secret....

We didn't do anything special, especially because I live in Rexburg, but as we were cuddling that night after watching a movie, I looked at him and fell a little more in love. And a strong wave of emotion ran through me and I thought: "He's The One." I know it! I mean I've always known it, but just like our testimonies, we go through times when Heavenly Father blesses us with a clarity-of-mind experience. This was the kind that made my heart flutter and my love grow for this wonderful man I'm so lucky to have met and fall in love with. It was a very special moment for me. So I thought I'd blog it.

Hope everyone's week goes well! God bless. I love you.

THE LAST SEMESTER!!

Well, I made it back to Rexburg. School doesnt start until Tuesday SO at least I can blog a little bit, and hopefully finish the book I'm currently reading. (Catching Fire...the second book after The Hunger Games) If you havent read The Hunger Games yet, GET ON IT! Seriously, just do it, you won't regret it.

But being back here is just fine. Luckily I have my little sis here and some fun girls to live with for the semester. But I am totally missing Jon. A lot more than I thought I would. Guess it's real love I'm dealing with here...I'm so lucky. We skyped today, HILARIOUS. I had the genius idea to just always be skyping so its like we are always together! It totally makes sense. He just made fun of me. BOYS! ;)

I can't believe I only have ONE SEMESTER left of classes. I feel like I shouldve been done a loooong time ago, but I was never ready. Now I am. It's gonna be a stressful semester, but I'm excited to get it going and done! One step closer to being a real teacher :)

Today in church we were talking about when Moses was stuck in the wilderness with the escaped slaves. They were murmuring (which by the way did you know that if you murmer it deteriorates your MEMORY?! just fyi) but anyway they were complaining about not having any food, and Moses prayed to the Lord and the Lord sent manna. This was not what the people were expecting. Oftentimes our own lives are like that. We experience a trial, get a result, and wonder why we are recieving that particular blessing. But it's not because Heavenly Father doesnt want to give us exactly what we want, it's just that He blesses us with exactly what we need. He always will. That lesson was a good reminder to me, that although I've had my struggles (I know me? struggle? WEIRD) I have been so blessed. Exactly what i need, exactly when I've needed it. The Lord Loves Us. SO much. He will never leave us alone. He will neve forsake us. He is very quick to forgive (thank goodness). He shines when we choose the right. I just hope that I can be continue becoming the woman He knows I am.

Thats all. :)

Vegas? ALRIGHT

Well HELLO! I'm supposed to be packing my room up, but the blog world is calling me! shhhh dont tell Jon.

This weekend Jon and I are going to Saint George with a couple other marrieds. It's funny because pretty much everyone we hang out with is married already. I'm just jealous. But anyway, we are staying at a condo there and we are even hitting up VEGAS!!!! holllla. I'm kinda hoping im a complete natural at gambling and walk away from the craps table with like a million dollars or something. hahhaa, i'm just excited for a little vacay :)

I went to Rexburg this past weekend. It was fun! I love Ally SO much.

Well, Ellen's about to come on and I need to get ready to go see my BOO!!! PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST!

ps, do you love my new header? Thanks Stephj :)

Time To Grow Up

It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are. - E. E. Cummings

I love that quote. Mainly because it is SO true. Choosing the right can be challenging sometimes. More like all the time. I guess because I'm getting married I am thinking more about this kinda stuff. I mean before we know it, I'm gonna be a prego woman walking around about to give birth to a child that needs ME to be a great mom. The kind of mom that teaches, guides, and expects the best from them. ehhhhh. freaky.

Also, forgiveness is a really important aspect about life.

Anyway, so I'm thinking about getting hair extensions...would i look like a total freak? I'm just not sold 100% on them because I dont want to end up looking like Vienna did on The Bachelor. EW!

I never blogged about my parents selling the house in Texas and finding a place in Jersey! SO exciting. :)

Well im gonna start packing...I'm moving out of my apartment and in with one of the coolest ladies i know! Her name is Becky! She writes a column for mormontimes...check it out at http://www.mormontimes.com/ her column is called "The Unexpected Life". LEGIT! :)

Gaga for Gaga

I just ate five laffy taffy's...TIME TO BLOG! A commercial for the iphone is on right now...they advertise an app that turns on and off your lights in your house FROM YOUR PHONE. is that even possible? if they had that back in the day Kevin would never have been left "Home Alone" that Christmas.


Today was good. Slept til NOON...went to work, talked to ally and my mom, bought the newest Cosmo just because Lady Gaga was on the cover, talked to Stephie (the best header-maker EVER), and now im watching The Real World DC waiting for my boo to call me.


Speaking of Lady Gaga...her and Beyonce's Telephone video is seriously insane. To see it you have to go to http://www.vevo.com/ and search for Telephone. YouTube isnt even showing it...thats how scandelous it is. Lady Gaga reminds me of how I felt about Michael Jackson. I just want to strip them down from all their craziness and stare at them to see what they REALLY look like.


Im heading up to Rexburg this weekend to see Ally! Also to get some shorts out of my storage because Utah is getting awesome and spring is on its way. :) I'm excited to be surrounded by friends this weekend. Although I have my sweet, wonderful, perfect Jon here, I do miss my friends in Rexburg and the familiarity of being there. AND Ally just started kinda dating a guy and I would like to meet him and measure his worthiness...:)


Until the next time...
