one week

My time in Provo has been indescribable. I’m trying to sort through all my memories & there are just too many for me to talk about! I’ve met some amazing people and have had great life experiences.

These past four years seem like a blur. When I think about all the memories, some good & some bad, I can’t help but smile and look at where I am NOW, TODAY.

I’m leaving my home, best friends, second family, mountains, crazy drivers, favorite place to get pedicures, BYU football games, skiing, warm summer days & cool summer nights/freezing winter days & freezing winter nights (that one I’m not so much opposed to!), an amazing Bishop & ward, bridal showers/weddings every weekend, etc, etc……

I’m excited to move to Arizona. I can’t wait to be around my family and finally be able to be at more family events! I’m afraid to change the people I work with. I’m nervous to meet new friends. However, I’m ready to take a chance and do something different.

I wish I had the time or emotional capability to say goodbyes to everyone who has meant something to me while up here. Unfortunately, it just won’t happen. Things change. People change.

Here are random pictures & memories in no particular order…

Miss Megan,
I am really sad to see you go. I know that I don't see you often but knowing that you are HERE means a great deal to me. What am I going to do without you? Can I come visit? I've never been to Arizona..
Also, that collaboration of photos was so good! I'm flattered to be featured in so many. I really will miss you dearly and you have been a best friend of mine for YEARS now!
I love your freaking guts.

Hampton 13 does have all the hotties!!! no doubt about it.

thanks for the trip down memory lane.

man night....so great. and i like that the pic you chose for demolition derby fun was the one where that girl almost DIED! that moment was so scary! the least fun moment of the whole night.

and what the heck is a gravitron??? you guys don't even looked like you're buckled in! i'm so confused.

and the the sundance grill...aah. what a place. and the day of sundance skiing!! you so rocked it. and weren't those nachos so worth the terrifying experience of the back mountain??

oh megan, how i will miss you.

Amber and Co. said...

I can see why you're sad to leave-so many fun memories! I'm sure you'll be greatly missed!

I love you Megan! Hampton 13 was the best apartment ever. Having you learn how to ski like a pro was my dream come true. Rocking out to Backstreet Boys Halloween night was epic. The Brianhead trip was filled with slot canyons and fried bbq pizzas. Our dance sessions to random Christmas carols will never be forgotten. Late night chats eating ice cream will bring fond memories forever.

I cherish you like a sister my dear Megan. I feel blessed to know you and even more blessed to have claimed you as roommate for so many semesters. You, my dear, are truly wonderful.

Can't wait to see you the wedding!!!! You are going to look simply ravishing in that bridesmaid dress.

love you tons,
E

P.S.: I am so sorry to hear about John and Kate plus 8. How are you holding up?

Megan, I miss you!!! Those were good memory pics! I have a solution for you...MOVE TO VEGAS!!! That way you'll be right in between both cities! You can come live with us if you want (we're buying a house!). We REALLY need to catch up. Give me a ring-a-ling sometime! I need to get the low-down on your life! Love you!
