S.S.S. Vol. 3

Well, I said I would blog before Sunday came around, and here we are! But at least I'm consistant with one thing so far.

Today is quite the day, it's father's day and my mom's birthday! I love you both, so much.

On to today's festivities- 

Favorites from Pinterest this week:

This outfit 

This room.

I'm pretty sure I would like to dress like this everyday.

A video to change your life for the better:

Current (well, constant) wannabe love of my life:

What's not to love? His album has been on repeat in my car which brings me to the next catagory:

Favorite song:

Oh this song just melts my heart and turns me into butter. Plus when I sing it I feel like I have some soul and flava in me!

Tried and true recipe that you should try too:

Avalanche bars! They are so easy, so delicious, and quick. Here's a link to the recipe. It says no bake, but I put in the oven for a minute or two to melt the marshmallows and chocolate chips. They taste even more amazing the next day and if they are put in the fridge.

A new week is here, my summer break is what, nearly half over? Good thing there is a lot more to look forward to!

Love,
MM

Scenes from the weekend.

I know it's Tuesday, but two jam packed days of school can really cramp your blogging style! So my momma came into town on Friday and it's been a party ever since. I went up to Alpine on Friday to sleepover at Grandmama's with her. Saturday we went up to Salt Lake to play with the kidlets.

We ate yummy food, made it to Trader Joe's at my wish through a blizzard, and got pedicures. Sunday we made cookies that I could send to the MTC, made lunch, and then went to church at my BYU ward. Afterwards we ate at the Cannon Center.

More scenes from the Hartshorn's-

 Oh I love those two.

My face has frequented this expression as of late, no specific reason is to be blamed.

Sunday night we had a hall party. It was hoppin' for about 30 minutes. WE strung up lights that are now a permanent fixture thanks to Command Hooks.
Here are some highlights:

Off to bed, thanks for the catch up.

Love,
MM

Happy Birthday Dear Mother!

Hey Erryone, it's my momma's birthday!

I love her so much. My mom is one of my best friends. She's been in Utah all week and I miss her so! Here are a few photos that have her or the both of us in it from the past 6 months. I love you mommy!

Happy birthday from one of your favorite daughters!

Love,

Your Megan Marie

First Day, Last Day

Today was my last first day of high school!

Grade 12.

12th grade. 

Senior year.

Holy cow!

Where has the time gone?

First Grade

12th grade!

I had to snap a picture with my padres, it being their last first day of grade school since 1989, before they ran out the door to the airport. Mama is in Utah now!

Reason # 10, 550, 679 why I love my mother. 

School today was short and sweet. I got a taste of all my classes- professional development of the arts, math, seminary spare, and musical theater. I got to drive my way to school and go through my first drive through on my own- Wendy's. I picked up my audition information for next week's musical audition, and came home and cooked dinner. I've been working on my song and just love singing my little soul out. 

It feels really strange being the oldest student now, I keep expecting last year's grade 12's to walk in the door. Oh well, what can you do? Fall is about changes and that is definitely what's happening. I'm excited to be back at it, and I know this year is going to be challenging and wonderful and full of PARTYIN'!


Love,
Megan Marie

Road Trip- Leg 1- Montana

I spent spring break (March 25- April 3rd) in Utah with my family and friends. My mom and I decided to pack up and leave this town! 

What our house looked like when we left- good thing we headed south!

I love driving past this bridge

An actual happy meal box in Great Falls!

The Montana state capital building- built in the 1800's! 

We left Friday at 2:00 in the afternoon and drove to Helena, MT that night. We stayed in a lovely La Quinta Inn. 

Quite picturesque 

We woke up, ate a nice continental breaki and were on the road! I have never seen Helena in the daytime, every time we drive through there it is night. I thought it was very pretty city all nestled in the mountains, just how I like it. (this blog formatting is whack, I'll continue my story in another post.)
