Tis the season!

Sorry for the lack of blog posts my loves.. 

but I have been an busy extremely busy bee these past few days! Just trying to finish up this semester right!

Anyways...Now that the weather has been consistently chilly and the holiday spirit is fresh in the air I thought that this video would be appropriate. Today my roommate Katie created this holiday e-card of everyone in our apartment... :) It sure put a smile on my face.

So if you are in need of a good laugh make sure to take a look...

      

Funny huh?

I seriously could not stop laughing!

Hopefully this video has put you in the holiday spirit if you were not already :)

Until next time,

Wishful Thinking

Wishing.

It is something that we all do on a daily basis

Whether we wish to be elsewhere, or wish to accomplish our dreams

Wishes are beautiful. And natural.

They are a big part of our lives, without them it would be nearly impossible to stay

Motivated and hopeful.

Remember those youth wishes of a new shiny red bike without training wheels,

your own personal pony, or in my case (don't laugh!) a chance to meet Mia Hamm?

Remember those hopeful teenage wishes regarding your high school crush

and how you wish that he will fall madly in love with you? 

Or that he would eventually ask you to the high school prom?

Remember the feeling of excitement in the presence of a dandelion

All just because they give you a chance to make a wish come true?

We have all experienced wishful thinking.

It is something that will stick with us until the end of time.

Whether our wishes in our growing years change or stay the same 

it is important to never give up on them as well as your dreams!

Who knows when they will come true...but only time will tell.

Stay Hopeful, Keep wishing.

Until next time,

-Meg

Warsaw, where lovers come to meet

Long distance relationships are tough.

 Enough said. They take a lot of dedication and perseverance. Forms of creative communication also help immensely. Skype, being one of them, is honestly the best greatest invention ever created! It has saved Bryce and I from going crazy without seeing each other. Yes, I know that we do see each other almost every weekend but it is hard to go through a stressful week without someone to lean on. I have such lovely friends and family but somethings are just healed by the loving embrace of a boyfriend. So how do we deal with this type of dilemma? Well...over the course of 2 months Bryce and I have come up with some ideas that keep our long distance relationship going and making the distance not feeling so lengthy. The most important thing to do in this type of relationship is to stay positive, look forward to the next time you will both be reunited. Personally, I love to plan out my weekend adventures during the week to keep me motivated and productive, which helps pass the time! Visits are the prime solution to keeping a long distance relationship going. Just last week Bryce and I had the best idea! Since we are 2 hours apart (about 120 miles) we both decided to have a halfway date. 

The lovely I-40 exit 364 

After our evening classes we both drove about an hour to exit 364 (about halfway) to grab dinner and to spend some time talking. It was the best idea I think we have ever had... it was just what I needed to make it through the rest of my week. But there was a downfall to our cleaver plan...and those of you who have visited exit 364 know exactly what i'm going to say... 

there is absolutely nothing to do in Warsaw. In this case we were forced to compromise! Nonetheless, we ate at the nearest fast food place and sat in our cars and talked for hours. It was such a cool idea and I highly recommend it to any long distance relationship! Bryce and I now have this on going joke that Warsaw is where lovers meet... in our case this is true :). Warsaw will always have a special place in my heart.

Hope this helps all you lovers out there :)

A Special Birthday Dedication

  Happy Birthday to...          

... the one person who just simply gets me! To the person who spent the last 20 years putting up with my  sarcasm and my sometimes out of control attitude. To the person who dedicates her time towards making others happy. To the person who I want to be just like when I get older. To the person that tells me that the sky is the limit and to the person who has never given up on my dreams no matter how ridiculous they might be. To the one who knows how to make anything better no matter what situation arises, whether its a scrapped knee or a broken heart. To the one who just knows exactly what to say. To the one who has made me who I am today. But most importantly...To the person who I love more than anything.

To the person I call my Mom.

Mom, you are the person who keeps our family together.You have devoted your whole life, your time and your energy towards helping others and I want you to know that all the work that you do is appreciated.

You are my rock and I am so thankful to have you in my life. 

Heres to many many MANY more years of special memories together.

 I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing birthday! You certainly deserve it!

 I love you to the moon and back.

Your daughter,

Megan

Born to be Nerdy

Hold onto your seats my loves

... its going to be a long entry today!

I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend! I know I did.

so without further a due,

Lets break it down...

 Friday started off with a visit from this sweet boy.  

Here we are showing off some Seahawk spirit.

We didn't even plan on matching.. :) it was fate.

On Saturday we ate at South College Deli 

which was absolutely delicious...like it always is!

As you can see Bryce also really enjoyed it!

 After lunch I decided to go on a spir of the moment 

shopping expedition at Belk.  

I even managed to snag a few pictures,

so I have to ask...Who wore it better?

Haha If you ask me, I have to admit that Bryce definitely 

worked it and therefore wore it better. Who would have thought that you 

could have so much fun in a department store?

I guess I just love how goofy we can be sometimes all of the time!! 

Later that day we spent some time babysitting and relaxing,

Which was amazing.

Baby Gavin even made a new buddy.

Sunday then followed, which was by far the highlight of my weekend.

After several months of thought about what to be for Halloween,  

Bryce and I  finally decided to make this halloween a nerdy one!

Here are a few pictures of our costumes. 

(Notice that we were in costume ALL day!)

Meet Margret Ann and Wellington, our new names for the day!

I really enjoyed embracing my inner nerd...

as well as sharing a few smooches with this handsome stud.

...by the way, nerdy smooches are simply the best.

After our Macbook photo shoot we decided to make a pit stop at Walmart

where we sported our costumes.

We had people laughing and staring thats for sure! 

To end our perfect Halloween, we decided to go Nerd Bowling...

Lets just say that I was in desperate need of gutter blockers.

Bryce basically dominated me...

 but hey... its okay I will make sure to bring my A game next time!

Despite my 2 game losing streak

 Bowling was the best way to end an amazing Halloween weekend. I am so happy to have gotten the chance to spend it with my awesome friends, roommates, and boyfriend. It was a shame that it all had to come to an end. But if I could take one thing from this Halloween experience it is that it's okay to embrace the nerd within :)... we all have one whether we want to admit it or not. So make this week a dorky one!!!

Until next time,

-Meg
