miracle

Today, I realized that I am in the middle of a Great Miracle.
The lecture in floral design class was on funeral flowers.  Not a happy subject.  
My teacher told a story about one of her students who called her Thanksgiving weekend asking if she would make a casket spray. My teacher asked what had happened. 
Come to find out, the young girl's husband just died.  
Just like that.
My heart throbbed for the poor girl and I texted Scott real quick: Please don't ever die okay?
I can't even imagine how painful that would be to lose him.  I just love him so much and I selfishly want him with me always.  I know someday God might have another job on the other side for him to do, 
but I wish that He would wait a few years to take him until I could go too.
Scott asked me to not dwell on death. So I won't.

Then I went to work. Tuesday afternoons I work with three single men aged 22-23 years.
And every time we work together, I ask them to tell me "The Sitch."  
What happens then, is a quick news update on their love lives.
After listening to all of their dating failures and realizing how I used to pull some of the same shenanigans, 
I had this epiphany: The fact that Scott and I are getting married is a miracle. Plain and simple.
How is it that after 8 months of craziness courtesy of yours truly, opposition from all angles, a brief break-up, and a long-time long-distance relationship ended up working out?
See, it is a miracle.  And boy, am I grateful.
I am so grateful that Scott put up with my craziness and that we both were willing to work through whatever opposition or problems arose.  
How grateful I am to God for leading, helping, and guiding us here.
It is a wonderful place to be.

Best Bridal Shower I Ever Had

My amazing cousin Shailyn threw me my first bridal shower ever.  It was so fun and filled with close family and friends.  The food was great, the games were fun, and I really had a good time.  I will have to get my hands on some pictures, but in the meantime, just know it was all great!  I got awesome gifts: bathroom stuff, kitchen stuff, and the good stuff.  So Great!  One of the games we played was the one where I had to guess how Scott answered to some questions and eat sour gum if I got it wrong.  One of the questions was, "What is Megan's dream job?"  I didn't know how to answer because I don't even have a dream job, but Scott answered perfectly:  Megan's dream job would be something that "cooks, decorates, and has a lot of fun!"  He knows me so well.  This shower made it all even more real.

I AM GETTING MARRIED! (to the handsome-est, sweetest guy ever)
and it's going to be great!

Thanks friends and family and Shai-I loved my shower!

Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day

Today I was having one of those I-miss-Scott-and-my-family-and-why-is-it-snowing-I'm-hungry-and-out-of-groceries-I'm-done-with-school-I-feel-fat-I-want-to-go-home-kind of days.  after work, I layed in bed feeling lonely and grumpy and miserable. 

But, then Scott sent me an email, my roommate offered me dinner, I went to FHE to help make a music video to a song from the Carpenters, my other roommate took me to the track to go running, and now I feel great!  Scott reminded me that this is my last semester here and once I marry him, everything will be different, so I should live it up!  How could I forget how blessed I am to be here in COLLEGE?!  It is so exciting and great!  I love it here-how it rains, then snows, then is sunny, how the people are mostly all zoobies, how we pray in class and sometimes sing hymns, how I have great friends, awesome roommates, amazing ward, caring Bishop, loving family, a supportive fiance, generous soon-to-be-in-laws, a church school, a cozy apartment, etc etc etc.  My life is great!  I'm in College at BYU-WOooooo!!!

PS. I got more comments about my "accent" today.  Oh brother.  :)
