at last my love

has come along!

Back to my spring break tale, my mom and I arrived in Utah and went straight to my brothers house to see those kiddos! 


Me and Bee


Super cute, except for bentleys lack of smile.


This was right after church at my old ward; the sun was shining, the sky was  blue and it was WARM!


I miss this view.


I took over the drivers seat; right in front of my old home.






Taking my love on a walk!
Next up, continued adventures!

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!


Onion and I 
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

R to the E to the X to the BURG

My mom drove from Helena to Dillon, MT and then I took over the wheel! I drove 70.3 miles (the distance of a half-Ironman, which my SIL Moka completed yesterday! So proud of you MOKA.)from Dillon to Humphrey, ID on the open road.
We stopped along the way at a Lewis and Clarke site called Camp Fortunate. It was cold and windy but a fun detour. 


only at a McD's in Dillon, Montana










The snow found us. 

BEAutiful Rexburg Temple!

Lucky number? Lucky Song? Espanol/Portuguese setting? Si. 




I was set on attending BYU-Provo, but after being in Rexburg, I woulnd't mind going there for a year or two! I loved the smaller numbers of people, beautiful campus, Temple, and the small town homey feeling. 

My lovely friend Jenessa showed me around campus!




The picture of Christ was made up of the whole text of the Book of Mormon- itty bitty font!

But will I return?

I'm a big kid now.

Homeland sighting!
Next up, reunited at last!

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.)
