School

Well I have gotten through the first two days of class and so far they have been AWESOME! There are 7 of us girls in the freshman class and they are so great. We have really bonded super fast. That's a good thing since we will be together so many hours of the day for the next 12 months! :) I was afraid I was gonna be the oldest one there, but I am not! There is a girl who is 25. The others are 18, 19, 21, 22, and 23! Yesterday we just went over the rules. Today we got our bags, hats, shirts, and jackets! I feel so official! Yet I think I will feel even more official once we get our kits with all our brushes and scissors and everything. :) Its so EXCITING! We learned about sanitation and how to do consultations with our clients and watched the movie "My Date with Drew". Tomorrow we get to do scalp treatments on each other!!!! I am seriously so excited about all of it and can't wait to go to class the next day! I am so happy!! Sorry if this feels like I am screaming at you all, I don't mean to! haha Anyway, just wanted to let you know that things are really good and I feel super good about this choice and feel at home there. Yay. Here is a picture of me with my hat and my jacket on! Yes, I know it's a little cheesy.

A Dream Come True

Hi everyone! I am home sick today....I have actually been feeling ill since Tuesday and been hoping this would all be gone by now, but it hasn't. I have spent a lot of time in my bed this week. Not really done a whole lot other than sleep or work. And right now as I finish up eating some soup and am in between naps, I should catch you all up on some exciting news! I am going to be starting Cosmetology School on Monday!!! I have wanted to do this my whole life and have been putting it off and putting it off, mainly cause I am just scared to go back to school. I have enjoyed the no homework, free nights thing, but I think this will be a little different and I think I will LOVE IT! It kind of happened super fast. I have been debating on whether I should do it here, or go down to utah to do it or what. But Wednesday on my lunch break, a thought came into my head of, "Megan, just check to see when the next class starts here in Idaho Falls." So I got online and it said, April 19th! So I immediately got on the phone, called the owner of the school and got it all figured out! I figured out my financial aid, filled out the school application and took it over there, and sorted out my work schedule! All in a matter of a few days and now I am gonna start on Monday! Sometimes we just gotta jump even if we are scared. So we all know what this means. I am gonna be here in Idaho Falls for at least another year. But that is all right with me! I need to take advantage of this time where I am rent-less, baby-less, brain-less (jk ;) and fulfill my dream! I am nervously excited but I think it will be really great. The people who love me have been so supportive of me and encouraging me to do what makes me happy and I am grateful for them who have helped me! I will definitely keep you posted on how it's all going and I might need some people to practice on so let me know if you are willing! :) Once I am done with that dream, I can start on my next one of photography! haha gotta love goals

I just wanted to say that I love my life. Yesterday was full of many things I love. Playing tennis with my favorite person Jared. I know that he wasn't as excited as I was to play, but he trudged through and hit many balls over the fence for me to go get. I got a massage to get all of my HUGE knots out of my neck and back. I wish I could get a massage every week. I think my body NEEDS and DESERVES that kind of treatment. :) I put my sweats on and watched a movie while eating a whole package of reese's. I rented Old Dogs. It wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. But I still enjoyed myself. I then went to bed at a decent hour and got lots of good sleep!

I am in love with that new song by Katy Perry and.......Who? Justin Bieber? No....ugh. Can't remember right now....but I LOVE IT!

Stephanie and I saw "Date Night" saturday night. It was hilarious!! I love both Tina Fey and Steve Carell. They were perfect together!

Well, I gotta get back to work! I will write more soon!

Easter Weekend

So I think it's finally time that I post about my Easter weekend! It was such a blast! I drove down to Provo Thursday morning....my family thought I was coming on Friday but I got work off and went down a day early and surprised them! It was a very good April Fool's. :) We spent the day hanging out, playing with Ryder, shopping, and eating lots of good food. Friday was spent pretty much the same way, just spending time with family is always a good thing! Saturday morning we got up and started watching General Conference. Jared was driving down that morning with his parents who were stopping in Ogden for a conference, so I drove up to Ogden and picked him up. We got back in town and ate lunch at Brick Oven (gotta love their root beer! ;) and headed over to go bowling! Jared and my mom have been telling each other that they could beat each other in bowling, so this was their chance to see who the ultimate bowler was. Doug, Beth, and I were there pretty much to be laughed at. The first game was pretty close. Jared wanted to let my mom win since it was her birthday, but I told him to give her some good competition! And it was good competition. But by the second game, my mom wasn't able to bowl as well cause her neck was bothering her and so it was pretty much just Jared creaming us all. But it was still lots of fun! After that Jared and Doug headed over to the priesthood session while us girls played with the baby and made dinner that we ate when the boys got back.

For any of you who have never heard of the game "Ticket to Ride", get with the program and play it!! Its loads of fun! So we played a round of that and had lots of fun. I then went with Jared over to his hotel where his entire family and I watched "The Blind Side" in the main lobby! It was great! We pushed all the couches together and the guy at the front desk let us put in a movie on their big screen. I of course fell asleep, but hey I always enjoy sleeping!

Well, the next day was Easter! And guess what, we woke up to like a foot of snow! In April! We definitely had a white easter!

haha But the Easter Bunny still visited us and it was another great day. General Conference of course! I had tickets to the afternoon session, so Jared and I left after the morning session and headed up to Salt lake! I was really worried we weren't gonna make it in time. It was my first time going and I was super excited so I didn't want it to get ruined by being late. But have no fear, Jared is an excellent fast driver (but also safe!) and we made it in record time. :) Our parking spot rocked and it was such an exciting thing seeing all those people at the center, people giving free hugs, jared knowing people everywhere we go, and getting some pretty good seats. (you can't really tell how good they are by this picture.)

The session was wonderful and it was so much fun to be able to experience that finally! After living in Provo for 5 years I never went and it took me moving to Idaho to finally go! :) When we got back in town Jared had to say goodbye cause he was going back home.

Kenny came and had Easter Dinner with us :)

I stayed in Provo till Tuesday morning so I spent the next couple days watching movies, playing more games, eating lunch with Haylee (it was so good to see her! everytime I go down there it's so hard for us to be able to see each other so it was so nice to finally see her and david again!), going shopping and eating dinner at Chili's with Sarah, and remembering how much I miss Utah! It was a very successful weekend.

I get to see my mom this weekend. I am super excited! I haven't seen her since Ryder was born. It's hard only being able to see her twice a year. I also get to see Beth and Doug and Ryder! Yay! I love my family. And I miss them so much! I will definitely write about our fun times when I get back to Idaho! Happy Easter and Happy General Conference!

Holla!

Hey Everybody! Sorry I have turned into such a slacker at blogging. It's partly because I am not able to get my computer to stay on more than 10 minutes at a time, and the other part is I am always either working or with Jared. But now that he has a job at Chili's he works weekend nights, leaving me lots of time alone. So I should catch up! Life is good. Jared likes his job at Chili's, he caught on super fast, and makes really great tips! I really haven't had anything too exciting happening. I had a job interview this week with Wellsfargo to work as a teller. It went well I think! It was a group interview, there were 6 of us, and a few of the others already had bank experience, so I am kind of nervous about it. I will find out next week sometime if I got the job, so cross your fingers! I would really like a change and I think I would really like being a teller. :)
At the end of this month Jared and I will be going down to Provo for Easter. My mom is flying out from Sacramento for that weekend which is also her birthday and it will be so much fun!
Last weekend I went out with my friend Ashley, had a little girl's night. We went to Chili's for dinner cause we wanted Jared to wait on us, but he got off right as we were getting there. But we ate there anyway and then went and saw "When In Rome". It was great! Such a cute movie and I really loved it. It was such a great night together and I REALLY needed a girls night. :)
Hmmm....what else? Nothing really. I have been housesitting for a friend this past week and it has been so fun! It was nice to have the house to myself, come and go as I please. It's been a little quiet, but I have really enjoyed it! This same family goes and does scout camp all summer so I am probably going to be housesitting for them all summer too!
So I am not so sure what else I can write about now. And I am sorry I suck with taking pictures lately. But hope everyone is well!

Long Over Due...

I am sitting here waiting for Jared to give me the Go Light for me to head over to his uncle's office so I can get my teeth cleaned....So I thought I would do a little blogging since I haven't done it in FOREVER! I am sorry I have been a little distracted and haven't wanted to post anything in a while. But here I am! Life is awesome and I am so happy! I should probably post about my awesome Valentine's Day weekend since it was amazing and my very first Valentine's having someone to celebrate with. It was 3 days worth of fun, surprises, love, and happiness! Jared and I decided to celebrate Saturday night since I had to work from 6am till 7pm Saturday so I wanted to go to bed early on Friday. But during the day on Friday while I was working, Jared all of a sudden showed up with a big vase full of beautiful flowers! :) He had gone to great lengths in trying to find out what kind of flowers are my favorite. When I wasn't looking, he got my phone and got my mom's and Beth's phone numbers out of it. He then said he had to go do something real quick, so he went downstairs and was gone for a while...apparently he called my mom to ask her what my favorite flowers were! But she got me a little confused with Bethany telling him that it was pink roses and lilies, and he texted Bethany to ask her what she thought my favorites were. I don't think she really knew so he ended up just asking me straight up what they were (gerbera daisies and red roses! :) So he brought me flowers while I was working which gives him extra points for giving them to me in front of people so I can show them off. :) That night I ate dinner with him and his family and visited with them for a little bit, but left at 10pm so I could get to bed!

Saturday was a very long day and I was definitely looking forward to that night. Work was crazy, but thankfully I was able to leave work at noon and go to Jared's to eat lunch and take a quick nap before needing to be back at 3. Anyway, I got off work at 7 and rushed home to change my clothes and be ready for when he picked me up at 7:30. He told me he had called Texas Roadhouse and we weren't going to be able to get a table until 9pm!! We were starving so we went to McDonald's to get a snack to hold us over until then. :) Then we went to Wal-Mart to kill some time and buy some treats for the movie. It was 8:45 when we were done so we headed to Texas Roadhouse and got seated right away! I LOVE that place so much! We shared a big rack of ribs, ate a whole lot of rolls, and had lots of fun together. Then we headed over to the movie theater to see "Valentine's Day"! It was a pretty good movie! We laughed a lot and enjoyed it for the most part.

Sunday we went to church and then had linger longer afterwards. Then went and picked up his Uncle Kendall from the shuttle and then went back to his house where his entire family came over for dinner and we enjoyed Hawaiian Haystacks, sparkling cider, and pie made by his mom who is an amazing cook! Mmmm :) We spent the rest of the night chatting with his family, I fell down the stairs when I went up to hide his present in his room and got a huge bruise on my arm, and watched THE AMAZING RACE! It was a very good day. We exchanged gifts and he got me a Mary Kay basket of lotion and shower gel and body spray as well as a Victoria Secret gift card. I got him a laundry basket (he didn't even have his own laundry basket! haha) filled with candy and mountain dew and his favorite movie Taken!

So, that was my Valentine's Day weekend. I had a blast. I know this was super long, but I wanted to record it so I don't forget it. :) Also, I am awful at taking pictures so that's why I have none. :) Hopefully I can get better at that!
