Picture Overload

I just realized I never posted picture from the 4th of July or Graduation. So here they are!

4th of July 2008

Matt, Livi and I huddled under a blanket so the mosquitoes don't eat away at our flesh.


Matt and Megan's Graduation- BYU April 2008

Graduation was fantastic! We had some good speakers and we had great family support. Matt received his joint Masters and Bachelors degrees and I walked right after him with my Nutritional Science degree. We then went out to dinner with the fams and celebrated!

(only at BYU would you find this many strollers:)

Yes I love technology....always and forever

OH man alive! This has been the best last week or so. Not only did I make contact with a ton of people I haven't seen in years, but now I have something to flee to when I don't want to do my homework! Truly the best of both worlds! I have finally joined Facebook or some may call it Wastebook. This is the coolest thing ever! I've waited to do it for so long because I wasn't sure if I wanted people being able to stalk me and stuff but now that I know that I can control who looks at my profile, I've ventured in. It is so fun catching up with people who have had an impact on my life at some point and seeing how they are. I love it! I think I have found my newest obsession, we'll see how long it lasts!

Happy 4th of July!

I just love the 4th of July! The heat, the food, the parade, I love it! Matt (happily) and I (grumpily) woke up at 7am this morning to go save spots on Center Street and there was hardly anywhere to place our blanket...and the parade didn't start til 9! Crazy Utahns. We went with the Dover Clan and the Militoni's and had a great time. Some of the highlights were as follows: 1) finding out that Olivia may be a band geek when she enters high school; every time a marching band came by she would get up and start stomping her feet just like the marchers, it was hilarious! GO BANDIES!, 2) seeing a float from the Institue of Religion basically encouraging everyone to get married; they substituted "temple" for "chapel" in the "Chapel of Love" song, it was quite adorable and funny, 3) also some guy was handing out fun, fake million dollar bills with anti-Mormon literature on the back (seriously how UNclassy is that), 4) and of course the best highlight was seeing all of the soldiers and veterans of war. I had to keep myself from tearing up. Those men and women are the reason we are able to be what we are today. Thank you to all those brave men and women out there past, present and future who serve our country so that we can have our independence. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Times a wastin

So I really should be studying right now, but I don't want to. I'm so burned out with school. Luckily I have a great professor who basically passes everyone, and that is all I need:) Who cares about physics anyways? As long as gravity is still intact I don't really care what else goes on (although floating around would be kinda fun). So I thought I'd do one of these tag things because I like talking about myself and it's my blog. Enjoy!

10 Years Ago: I was 13. I was in the midst of awkward middle school trying to adjust to bras and boys. I was also super fat. In Sunday school we had Stars Wars names and mine was...you guessed it... Jabba the Hutt. Surprisingly I came out of it fairly normal. I also liked to wear monochromatic clothes. I guess you could say I was the epitome of awkward. Moving on...

5 Things on my to-do list today:
1. Workout
2. Take a Shower
3. Study (I don't think this is going to get done)
4. Go to Costco
5. Spend time with schmoopy

5 Places I have lived:
1. Mesa, AZ
2. Afton, WY
3. Dublin, OH
4. Sammamish, WA
5. Provo, UT and soon Humble, TX (the "H" silent, because we Texans don't like to sound cocky)

5 jobs that I have had:
1. Fazoli's (Haven't eaten there since)
2. SuperCuts
3. Taylor Maid (disgusting)
4. Sally's Beauty Supply
5. Busy Student

What I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire: I'm pretty sure Matt and I talk about this at least once a month. Pay everything we own off. Put some moolah in our unborn childrens' bank accounts. Get a housemaid so I never have to clean again. Give a ton to various charities. Give anonymous donations to those who are in need. And of course I want to buy like every pair of cute designer heels and jeans on the planet (I'm not joking).

5 Things people don't know about me:
1. I love chemistry, I know very weird considering I used to hate it. I think BYU brainwashed me and put something in the water.
2. I wet the bed til I was 8. (Hey I have a small bladder and I'm a deep sleeper, don't be hatin)
3. I cannot go to bed or start my day without washing my face first. It's a severe habit that I'm hoping will make me look way hot when I'm 40.
4. I can totally handle seeing a couple of gay guys together, but seeing girls reeeally weirds me out. I guess you could say I'm part homophobic.
5. ???
