That half of February

Hey all, remember me? I realize things have been fairly quiet over here. Here's a little photo collection of the rest of February!

Valentine's Day was fairly uneventful, but we did have a fun ward activity that included a cookie decorating contest. We decided to go with a zombie (I know, a cliche) theme because the icing looked ridiculously like blood.

President's Day weekend I went down to St. George with my family (Mom, Dad, Mike, Bentley, Stella, Uncle Andy and Aunt Renee). It was grand to be in the sunshine, even if only for a day!

Scenes from Beaver-

Saturday my mom and I went shopping, the girls and I went swimming, we went and got yogurt and to the park, and then Thai food with the whole crew that evening. I had the most delicious Pad Thai at Benja's. Sunday we went to church, and then headed back home again!

(this is the best one)

Additional events of note:

I signed up for this! So far I've biked 11 miles and ran two. I will finish!

 Last Friday we went to the men's volleyball game, Legend's Grille, and Sammy's. It's nights like these where I feel less of a loner!

This week has including a sewing frenzy to catch up in my class, a nail biting basketball game against Gonzaga, a last minute 3-page paper writing fiasco, catching up on Revenge, Touch, and (almost) Downton Abbey, and dinner and hottubbing last night with Maddie.

I leave you with this- the artistry of our hall.

phototastic week

{THE LAST MONTH OF MY LIFE HAS BEEN INSANELY BUSY. LIKE CRAZY. SO HERE IS A LITTLE OF MY HAPPENINGS.}
Last weekend, My sister Moka finished her first Ironman Triathlon in St. George! I'm so dang proud of you beautiful woman. 

(Did Mike notice that the truck behind you looks just like his first truck?)

Bentley prepping for her own race! I die over her
little running skirt and shoes.

Almost all of the fam, I love them to death! 

 This week held the last rehearsal for the musical on Monday night. We had the Channie awards, where our director Mr. Chan gives every cast member a certain award. My Channie was for "Best Beehive and Classes Combo"

 So the musical ran from April 21st-April 27th. We had a Thursday matinee, and Monday-Wed night performances. I loved being able to perform on our amazing stage at school for a paying audience! (the dance show last year barely counts). On Wednesday, May 3rd we performed at the Calgary High School Drama Festival. It truly was our last show, as as usual I was relieved because of the big time commitment it was, but very sad to have something so great come to an end. 

cozy dressing room 

So Tuesday I experienced my first piece of after school freedom. I was pleased by how much time I actually have now to do homework. 


Wednesday was another busy day. After school, we went straight to a church by the school for our jazz choir rehearsal. Then we walked to get food, then back to the school to watch the junior boys' rugby game. Then we walked back to the church for our spring choral concert!

Li'l lovebirds

i'm a good couple photo sniper

I was dying laughing at the man in between them. 

third wheel shot?

totally awesome singing here.

Junior Jazz sang Beyond the Sea, (Carl and I had a little duet at the end) Blackbird, (Ashley and I had a li'l duet as well) Alright, Okay, You Win, and a great tune I can't remember at the moment. Concert Choir performed REALLY well, and we debuted Bohemian Rhapsody!


(Random tibit..)

too great not to share!

 Thursday

I love my period 1 seminary class!

beautiful sunset out my window

On Friday I went to the girls' field hockey game for the first time! I thought it was like intense croquet.

They won!

just vandalizing the other school's logo. 

This was taken on the way home from the game.
Listening to Jack Johnson in Rex's car Tre'von, and life was good. 

That night I went to see Thor (which I loved) with some friends and Victoria and I stuck around after and looked at books at Chapters. 

 Saturday morning was a stake young women's mom/daughter 80's themed breakfast!I used my mom as inspiration. 

Last night was my friend's 16th birthday party. I don't have very many good pictures, but here's one from the park we went to. It was so nice to be out playing at dusk! That's one of the best feelings ever. 

 Sunday (today) we had family over for dinner, which I love.

Blakely and Jack

I hope you enjoyed this mishmash of a weekly report! I will be better at blogging. I like to do it, I just have a hard time getting to the computer and doing it. 

LIFE IS SWELL! I'm happy, getting healthy, (had acute sinus infection/bronchitis) and loving me life!

 Love, Megan Marie
