Time for another Mingle Monday!

Hey everyone (:

It's Mingle Monday around these parts!

How was your Easter?

Mine was FANTASTIC! I woke up yesterday, showered, kept my hair down(my grandma likes it down :D so my hair was free for the day. Went to the Crossing Church which is amazing. They advertise themselves as the church for the people who don't do church, but I DO do church, and I still love it! Anyways, after church, I helped Lynn aka Crip(I don't know if I mentioned here, but she broke her ankle a month and a half ago), make cheesy hashbrowns & a dessert called Angel Lush which was delcious! It has angel food cake, cool whip, pineapple, & strawberries. I have the recipe if anyone wants it. After that I had to work 1:30 to 7. Went to the grandparents house and had din din that my grandma made especially for me(the others had already eaten.) We played cards while Lynn & Dad brought Matt home(Matt is my biological brother & he lives with my mom.) I love spending time with my grandparents. They are so AWESOME (:

& today has been filled with school. Right now I'm on break til 5. I am listening to pandora & just relaxing. Hopefully technologies goes fast, because my cousin Spencer & Uncle Don are coming over afterwards :D :D :D

Hopefully going to post intros tomorrow (:

Have a good rest of your Monday!

Hey It's Ok.

So I stole this idea from one of my favorite bloggers Amber. She stole it from Glamour.

It's okay to be watching Laguna Beach for the first time in years, but it totally brings back memories of end of junior high/beginning of high school.

It's okay to think the Laguna girls are spoiled rich brats who think they are better than everyone else.

It's okay to not understand why Kristen & Lauren were attracted to Stephen, when he was so obviously playing BOTH of them.

It's okay to be totally & utterly addicted to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

It's okay to wanna chuck my laptop out the window because it won't stay on unless it's charging.

It's okay to not understand why America is so obsessed with the Royal Wedding.

It's okay to totally be craving Daddy O's ice cream. I'm hoping that my Grandpa will bring me one of the days he brings me to work this week.

Hey There (:

The last week has been awesome. Spending Tuesday through Thursday at Nessa's house was the mental break I needed. I am so blessed to have such a sweet friend.

On Thursday, Coryn, Nessa & I went out to eat at Broadway Pizza...NOM NOM! & then we went to go see Soul Surfer. It was an AMAZING movie. I cried. Dennis Quaid is very good looking shirtless for an old guy (: I haven't really seen Helen Hunt in anything since Twister except What Women Want, and I LOVED her in both of those movies & Soul Surfer wasn't any different. & Carrie Underwood rocked her role as Bethany's youth pastor. I worked Thursday night and it was a pretty laid back shift. I like laid back shifts lol.

Friday I worked 2 to 11. I've got full hours the next three weeks at work, which I LOVE! Lynn was looking at our family schedule specifically at mine, and she's like wow meghan. you don't have any days off. I said yeah, welcome to my world. I wouldn't change it though. Not for anything. I love my life & my family. My amazing friends too. I feel really blessed guys!

I'm totally obsessed with Karen Kingsbury's books. I'm reading my way through the baxter series, & then just read Leaving. I love her writing! I also loved her 9/11 series.

Yesterday before work, all 5 of us(Lynn,Dad,Mady,Ryan & I) plus Cooper were all laying in my parents bed(get your mind out of the gutters) watching The Blind Side. & I loved it. I didn't get to finish watching it though.

& Army Wives? I watched last night's episode when I got home from work. This is a crazy season! && we have to wait two weeks for the new episode. I need to get caught up on Grey's too. I'm still only half way through the musical episode.

My first class was cancelled this morning, so I don't have class til 2. YAYY!

Thanks to everyone who answered the questions from my last post! If you haven't and you would, I would be very appreciative!

I'm going to find something to eat!

Love to you all!

Arizonaaa

I know this is late!

Saturday: We dropped off Quinton at his mom and dad's(Lynn's cousin and her husband), and picked up John's mail(John is Lynn's uncle & Diana's husband,Diana is the one who died right before Christmas.) After that, it was time for the AIRPORTTT! Lynn was able to get a pass to come sit with me til my plane left since it was my first time flying by myself(third time overall.) My plane took off on time, had some turbulence over the Rockies(I like turbulence it makes it fun!), got to Phoenix around midnight. Didn't check any bags, so within 10 minutes of getting off the plane, I was getting a HUGE hug from my Grandma. Bliss. Absolute bliss. Got to Casa Grande about an hour later. They have the cutest little park model in a retirement community down there (:
Sunday: Saw John & some of our family friends Jo and Amos. We went to a Civil War reenactment at Pichaco Peak, which was really cool! Saw some people reenacting the lifestyle too. Got to see a lady weave(idk if that's the right word) cotton. I couldn't imagine wearing that stuff in the heat, and it was very warm (:

After the reenactment we headed back to PC(the retirement community), had ice cream & headed to the pool. The pool felts so good after being out in the heat. Then Grandpa & I laid out and we went to In-N-Out burger for supper. Yum Yum! We don't have those in Minnesota (:

Monday: Went to Photo Club with my Grandma. Hit the pool to catch some more rays. Read and layed out with Grandpa again. Went to Amos' and Jo's for supper. Learned a new card game called 19, which is really fun.

Tuesday was quite a busy day. Had shuffle in the morning with John,Amos,& my Grandpa. Went shopping with my Grandma to get new kicks. I got a pair of tennis shoes with sea foam green on them. LOOOOOVE them (: Went to the pool with my Grandpa for awhile. My really reallly really great aunt picked me up for some girl time while my Grandma and Grandpa had their Bible Study. We went to Chic-fil-A & went shopping @ Tilly's & Ross. I got this really cute cowgirl hat too. After shopping & chic-fil-a, we hit up Olive Garden for some Chocolate Cake for dessert. It had like 7 layers of chocolate. Rich & Delicious (:


Wednesday was AMAZINGGG! Wednesday morning I got to go up in a hot air balloon. Wednesday I got to ride on the back of an ATV while my Grandpa lead us through the Box Canyon & through the mountainside. It was beautiful! I think this was my favorite overall day (: Of course we hit up the pool after ATVing again, then it was TEXAS HOLD 'EM night! I beat out my Grandpa & Uncle John. Didn't make it to the money though.


Thursday went by WAY TOO FAST! My grandma had an appointment in Phoenix, so I went & played shuffleboard with John & Amos again. When my grandpa and grandma got back, we were gong to head to the pool, and we were leaving my Grandpa says we have to stop by Tom & Darlene's quick because I told them we would come by & chat. I thought it would be better than them coming here so we can leave wheneverr, my grandma says right back, the only thing better would be if I could put a muzzle on you. So nice that Grandma of mine After the pool, we showered up & went for Mexican which was delicious. Oh something I absolutely loved? We were in the middle of a crowded resteraunt, and we bowed our heads and prayed :D That's something I would never had the courage to do if my Grandpa hadn't done it. We went back & played more 19 where I finally won a game. Went to the airport after that. Waited a couple of hours and then I was on my way home.

Overall impression of AZ/Casa Grande: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT & CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT YEARR! My grandpa had an inner&outer ear infection the whole time I was there, but he didn't complain at all. I absolutely love the little group they have they hang out with down there. I know they don't read this, but I would love to extend a huge thank you to my Grandma & Grandpa for having me, Donna & Bob for taking me out, Tom & Darlene for ATVing with us, Dean & Pat for ATVing with us & coming over to hang out with me & my g-rents while I was there, Amos & Jo for the great food, & John for playing Shuffle with me (: It wouldn't have been nearly as much fun without you guys!!

<3 to you all, and kudos if you got all the way through this!!

Weekend+puppy pics.

Monday Mingle today

My weekend was good. Worked both Saturday & Sunday. Watched some hockey.

While at work, a 7 or 8 year old girl came up to me & said you look funny! I said thanks. She said you really look funny. I said you know what? I'd rather look like me & have manners then look like you and have none at all. The kicker is, her mom and grandma were standing right there, and they did not.say.a.word.

It's whatever though. I watched the Elk River Elks' Varsity Girls take 5th place in State. It's not first, but it's still something!!

Want some puppy pictures?

Of course you do!
