Happy New Year!!

The New Year is always a good time for reflection and starting a new. Although I set aside time each month to look over my goals that I make in January sometimes it seems that we are fighting a losing battle. This year I am determined to not fail but instead I am going to rise to a new height. "How?" you may be asking. I haven't figured out yet but it is bound to be the most genius discovery of the century! (I'll let you know when I solve world hunger too!)

december and may

So at the beginning of each September and January I get really excited about the classes that I am going to take and then by the time it gets to December and May I couldn't careless if I never saw another textbook again. Seeing that it is currently December you can probably guess my feelings right now.
Yep that is right... If I never saw another math book for the rest of eternity I would be ok with that. At this moment I should be working on long division of polynomials but instead I am drinking hot chocolate and watching a movie and hoping, without actually believing, that suddenly my math will be done and then I can go back to spending my evenings reading what I want to read (mostly historical fiction novels) and actually getting some sleep.

its been a while... so the highlights.
first of all...
**HAPPY THANKSGIVING**

in the previous month

**Halloween at Bob Tucker's Pharmacy**

Bob was very gracious and let us dress up! We all had a blast planning our costumes... My costume was made by Brenda (the one in the cowboy outfit) for her daughter when she was in high school. I am a court jester!

The girls at the Pharmacy all dressed up.

**November 16th**

my 24th birthday.

on another note.
almost done with classes for the semester.
ready to be done.

another month has come and gone!

SO it looks like even after all of my hopes of blogging more often another month has gone by and it finds me with no additional blog posts. Here is a post to get you though another month of Megan silence...

This month was full of very large decisions, some followed through and some in the planning stage, and here is the current status of things:

• Most important things first, on Saturday I had the most wonderful opportunity to go through the temple and take out my endowments. It was the most wonderful experience of my life and I cant wait to go again soon!
• I have decided to start going back to school. "What in?" you might ask... that is still in debate but I have some ideas that I am throwing around. This going-back-to-school is actually just a math class that I have to take and then two fun classes, english and ceramics, but it is still a start.
• I am going to be brave and start going to one of the singles wards in reno starting at the beginning of next month. This does not mean that I will not be attending Fallon YSA activities, on the contrary, it means that i will just be going to church there and maybe attending some of their activities, while still fully participating in fallon YSA. I can hardly wait! the only question lies in which singles ward in reno I will be going to?
• An amazing family in my ward is leaving for a year (to live in Hawaii so dont feel too bad for them) and a few friends and I are slated to move into their home while they are gone! While I am sad that they are leaving I'm thrilled with the chance that it is giving me to move out of my parents house, again.
• I am NOT changing jobs anytime soon, well that I know of, I am still working at the pharmacy and really enjoying it. While some days I come home completely exhausted I am learning a lot and enjoying my time there.
  

While all of these things are subject to change and could possibly fall through I am excited that I actually have some plans that are moving me forward in my life.

TO SUM UP: new spiritual high, new classes, new ward, and a new house, but the same wonderful old job with some new people!

another month!

so another month has gone by and I am just another month older but I dont know about wiser....

summation of the month: busy and where has all the time gone?

since last month I have:

• well i didnt, but Mom and Melissa got in a car wreck from which they are both recovering nicely... nothing major which was a literal miracle but also brought me to a realization of myself which was that I really have no sense of direction. I made this realization after it took me over an hour to get to the ER that was about 30 mins away.
• the above realization prompted me to get myself a 1/2 birthday present of a GPS! (on a side note I have decided that if/when I start dating someone I am going to tell him that my family celebrates 1/2 birthdays so I can get to have a special day twice a year instead of just once.) Back to the point: this GPS was a lifesaver in my following adventure of...
  
• going to Vegas for the 4th of July and had one of the most amazing weekends of my life! Thanks Krista and the guys!
• came right home from Vegas and started house sitting for a lady in my ward. I enjoyed 2 saturdays of watering, tanning, and relaxing un-interrupted; as well as some carefree nights and I didnt kill any of her animals either. go me!
  
• I realized that as much as I think that I want an animal I am better just imagining that I have one. I dont think that I would do well caring for something when I am gone so often. kinda sad but I think if I was going to get an animal it would be a boxer. They are just so cute and they dont really shed which will work out great with my hatred/phobia of animal hair...
  
• wow, the above was really random but oh so true...
• decided that I am going to stop waiting for other to show up for me to make plans so the plans are rolling
  
• Also look forward in the next few weeks for a big announcement. (and ps since i'm not dating anyone its not that i'm getting engaged, guess again!)
  

dont know what else to say but june/july have been good months for me!
