meet megan...

i don't even know where to start with introducing you to my dear friend megan, other than telling you she is the kind of friend you can go months without seeing or speaking to and pick up right where you left off. her friendship, in my mind, is like the song 'easy like sunday morning'...hahaha. corny as that may be, it's the truth. i mean hello, she surprised me at my 30th birthday party in march all the way from connecticut, i was in tears upon the sight of her cute lil' dimples...


meggie, megs, schmegs...we became friends in college, she had some (and still does) sick dance moves down at the holiday bar, always with a smile on her face, a cocktail in hand, with a boy drooling as he had the great privilege to be seen dancing with her for that brief moment. if there's one thing megan and i have in common its our undoubted love for our alma mater (along with our little friend kerry, to be introduced later). we talk about it incessantly, buy & wear every bit of school spirit gear we can, and are going to force our children to go there too so we can come visit them often. we're soooo looking forward to our 10 year reunion in 2012!!!...


other than being an amazing friend, she is an amazing daughter & sister. her family is awesome, i often tell her that i would like her super sweet parents to adopt me so i can officially be their child and sisters with her & katie. seriously people, this family is cooler than cool (and i may or may not have an old man crush on her dad).

anyone who is friends with megan knows how lucky we are to have her in our lives. she is perpetually happy, god only knows how she does it... she is a teacher, a dog owner, has a hottie boyfriend, is hot-momma herself, loves to dance, loves to laugh, loves to wrap her legs around me at the motel 6....tmi??? and i am totally looking forward to seeing my little love and her friend ali in a few weekends!!! wahooo, warn the authorities people...

Favorite Quote?

There will come a time in your life when you will realize that life is full of changes. Sometimes you have it made, sometimes you're down in the dumps. But that's life, it goes back and forth. Point is, you need to know, understand, realize, that even if things aren't going your way, as easy as it is to get stuck there, you have to realize that those times won't last forever, light will come. But, on the same token, you also need to appreciate those times that you find to be the greatest moments of your life, because they, too, are limited. Take everything for what is, but don't get scared. No matter what cards are dealt, promise yourself that you will never, never, land. Never stop moving."
