Tis the Season 2

Well, I guess I was right in saying this season is the time for engagements.  As of December 20, 2010 (a year and a day from our first date) I am engaged to Scott Cardon.  I love him.  He is so great for me and is my best buddy.  He is so funny and handsome and sweet.  It was hard for me to commit to something so huge.  I mean, temple marriage is kind of a big deal-we're talking eternity!  But, I finally decided that I want Scott.  He will be a really good companion and will take care of me and love me forever.  So, I said "yes" confidently and with the faith and assurance that everything will be ok.

I'm excited!  I'm excited to finally live in the same state as him again.  I'm excited to do everything together and I'm excited to not say good-bye after we hang out each night.

So, tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la laa la la la LA!

Accents

The other day, my buddy Dan asked, "Where's your accent come from?"  My accent?  What is he talking about?  I don't have an accent.  At least, I don't think I do...  I asked my roommate Malia if I have an accent.  "Yeah, totally," she said.  "What?!  Are you joking me?"  "No, you definitely have an accent."  I still could not believe it.  I needed more proof.  So, yesterday, I asked my coworkers: "Do I have an accent?"  Every single one of them, including my boss answered, "Yes," enthusiastically and without hesitation.  At first, I thought they were all pulling my leg, but they were being serious.  So I guess I have an accent.  They all concluded that its not quite a regional accent.  My boss said, "Its very Megan-esque."

I never had an accent before, and now I have one.  Its so freaky.  But then again, maybe I have always had one, but nobody ever mentioned it before.  I'll admit, I'm slightly embarrassed, but everyone assured me that it is totally ok to have an accent.

On the bright side, for our ward Christmas party, I was in a Harry Potter-Meets-BYU 130th Ward skit.  I played Hermione.  Everyone said I sounded just like her.  One guy in my ward came up to me and said that he had served his mission in England, and that my accent was pretty legit.  So, I guess accents are ok.

Deck the Hars

With Bowrs of Harrrry, Far rar rar rar raaarrr rar rar rar rar....

Yesterday, my boss came in and said, "If I have to stay here doing the Holidays, it has got to be festive.  Stop working and spend the rest of the day making this place festive."  I.Love.My.Job.

He gave me the company car, the company credit card, and sent me and my coworker off to buy whatever supplies I needed.  I have spent the past two days being crafty and decorating the office so that it is Festive. I am in Heaven.  It's so fun, I even took some of my "work" home with me so that I would have crafting projects over the weekend.  If only everyday could be a crafting day...

I have the best coworkers!  They stole, borrowed I mean, 7 poinsettias from other areas around the office so that we could use them in our department's office.  We put them up on display surrounded with pine garland, cinnamon-scented pine cones, red berries, and a strand of Christmas lights.  It looks lovely and much more classy than the crayon-colored holiday coloring book pages of yester years.  Now I'm working on a "MERRY CHRISTMAS" banner, paper snowflakes, and a paper star.  It is definitely Festive.  Happy Christmas!

 PS-While at Michael's craft store picking up supplies, I discovered a glitter multi pack that comes with 24 vials of different colors.  I am obsessed.  It's on my Christmas list.  Oh Martha...

 

Tis the Season...

to be engaged.  Seriously, I feel like everyone is getting engaged these days.  Its like the thing to do now-get engaged.  Not that I'm opposed.  I love that so many people are in love and ready to start their new lives together.  And what a better time to be in LOVE than around Christmastime, when we celebrate the birth of Him who loves perfectly.
