Goodness I am terrible at the blog thing. Bleh. I rock at status updates though... anyway. So my life since my last update has been INSANE. literally. Recap: Molly's wedding = fabulous. My sister was absolutely stunning. You can imagine that already though, she is amazing. The wedding day was flawless- she was only a slight bridezilla (love you sis!) Brad and her are so in love and so right for each other too. I felt blessed to be a part of it :) 
After the wedding life was still nuts. Of course, I had to miss the Viva Las Vegas bowl considering it was the day after the wedding- BUTTTT I ended up getting to watch it with some bff's in Portland instead. My favorite equest girls also threw a nice Christmas sweater bash- cops came and everything. REAL intense. I got slightly grounded because of my lack of sweatering and too much tinsel policy thing. Oh well... it was fun. 
The next morning I got up for a trip to paradise. Yes, while my baby sister was honeymooning, my parents, Liz and I decided to head to Hawaii. Maui was really unreal and super fun! Liz was easy to bring along (clearly.) We got into a little bit of mischief and I man
aged to step on coral the first day (see photo below.) Every single local I talked to, told me I would probably get a staph infection... I was freaking out (typical) However, I ended up
being fine in the end. PHEW. Trust me, you don't want to deal with this baby when it comes to doctors, pain tolerance, etc. On the bright side though, we ended up seeing whales, went snorkeling, met some locals, went to a luau and saw a lot of hawaiian skin, went to church with a magician, etc. Solid trip! We arrived back to Portland around 11:30 pm, then the next morning (NYE) my flight left for Phoenix where I went to spend a few days with my girl Jules! I always love going to Arizona, in fact it was my fourth trip of the year to see her. I ended up buying this gold sequin dress in Hawaii special for New Years... but upon arrival Julie mentioned that she planned on wearing jeans. Needless to say, I didn't get to wear the dress and probably a fantastic thing that I didn't. We went to Mill Ave for the evening and it was lots of fun! We had a crew with us. I got to go to the piano bar-- good times there, maybe even too good?? The rest of the trip was legit... it consisted of: Suns game, Sushi, my birthday and riding the bull at SaddleRanch... loves it!
Flew home from AZ on my birthday. On the plane I was seated next to a player from the duck football team. I know, they just had suffered a tough loss in the Rose Bowl, but regardless I still despise that team. Our conversation went as follows: Him- "So do you live in Eugene?" Me- "No, I hate everything about that city." Him- "Oh, do you go to OSU?" Me- "I did go there, yeah" Him- "Cool. I just got done playing in the Rose Bowl" Me- "Awesome." Him- "Yeah... I'm on the football team" Me- (confused look on my face..) "You just said that and it's still awesome??" The conversation proceeded, I found out he was 20 and is "into older women"
I celebrated my birthday the following weekend. We had a wine party at my sister in laws. That was an eventful day. Amanda (my sis n law) nearly cut off her finger and spent the morning in the ER. We then went shopping where I bought a camera I would lose 5 hours later and never find again. The party was fun- then we ended our night at Dixie.. One thing though that has been pretty crummy lately is that my cousin Paul has been in the ho
spital after falling off a roof on January 2nd. He is still in there and could definitely use prayers. It's scary hearing everything and seeing my family so upset. He's definitely an amazing husband/father/friend. I know everything is going to work out and it's in God's hands, but it's still been really tough. Okay, so almost caught up to now.. the weekend following my birthday party I took a trip to Las Vegas to visit Gerard and Janelle. I spent the first half with Gerard so we could celebrate our joint birthdays. We did some shopping, went to Yogurtland, then later that night we got to go to the new city center and see Keri Hilson perform at Haze the new nightclub there. I am absolutely obsessed with her- she is my fourth favorite singer. It was super fun and I always an entertaining time watching him mack on the ladies... I miss him so much and it sucks he lives so far away. Definitely glad to get to see him! The next day after the football games were over I got to spend time with my other half- bff Janelle. That is always the best. We went to Sushi down on the strip and also did a little shopping (browsing) in Caesars Palace mall, then headed back to her new fabulous house that I LOVE. She is living in the Veg for a few years finishing school and I miss her everyday. The next day J and I did some shopping/yogurtland then met Gerard for lunch... I went to the airport and all hell broke loose. The sign started flashing "CANCELLED" on my flight. I had a panic attack and started crying to the attendant that I needed a way home... she said that due to the weather in Long Beach (my layover spot) the airport was closed and I'd need to figure somethi
ng out or leave the following day. I was in turbo mode and ended up buying a 300 dollar one way ticket home later that night, which was delayed and brought me back to Portland SUPER late. BUT I made it, 300 dollars poorer. Lose. Other than those trips my life is pretty laid back... I've been trying to get my parents to adopt a child from Haiti. I'm also getting ready to move in with Jennifer next weekend *so excited* so I've been packing everything up. Work is good. Family is good. I hope you are good too :) Have a fab weekend!

Megan I love your posts, they make me laugh. Reading them makes me think that we are still friends and that we still live close to each other, when really we do not.
