25 things I believe...

oh. my.

I am now 25 years old.

it's crazy to me. 

seriously

where did the time go!!?

After going back and forth I have finally decided.

to blog (after so long) about:

25 things I believe

 in now that I am 25.

1. I believe in birthdays! 

No not just because today is mine but I think everyone needs at least ONE day to feel loved and appreciated!!

2. I believe in saying how you feel.

no secrets. no excuses. pure honesty.

whether it is I love you, or I am sorry. 

3. I believe in thanking GOD everyday. 

whether things are good or bad.

4. I believe having a dog will make you live longer.

I seriously question people if they don't like dogs.

5. I believe in laughing till you cry.

or your stomach hurts. 

6. I believe in Independence. 

over these 25 years I am strong as EVER. 

and I hope that never changes. 

7. I believe in positive people!

8. I believe in the power of letting go!

sometimes you have to do it. 

9. I believe that a pair of shoes can change your day!

(just ask Cinderella)

10. I believe that over the years, you do turn into your mother.

like it or not. 

11. I believe in taking time out of work, for more important things.

(like Kings Island with my nephew)

12. I believe in vacations!

as much as possible.

13. I believe in saying thank you.

or that someone is appreciated. 

14. I believe in fate.

if it's supposed to happen. it will. plain and simple

15. I believe all blessings come from GOD.

sometimes it just takes a minute to be thankful through the storm.

16. I believe in seizing the opportunity!

besides, bad decisions equal good stories.

17. I believe in enjoying the small things.

like coffee on a cold day, hearing from an old friend who just wants to check on you,

a night in with wine and your girls or a goodnight text from your daddy.

18. I believe in tailgating.

19. I believe in sweet gestures from guys.

flowers just because, a special dinner after a long day.

20. I believe that this should be my job.

with Kathie Lee and Hoda

21. I believe in dancing.

as. much. as. possible.

22. I believe in Happy Hours.

they can change your whole day.

23. I believe in dressing up.

24. I believe that Pandora can read my mind.

seriously always plays just what I need.

25. I believe that everyone should..

Forget your past, live in your present, smile at your future and appreciate every little good thing in your life..

Love you all!! 

Moments in History

31 years ago...
My brother was born.
I posted for this a year ago. I am sure.
But I do want to wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
He is my best friend, my teacher, and my psychologist.
I can't imagine life without him.
AND
I hope his old bones are ready to go HARDD this weekend and head off to vaca as well!! 

Birthday Swag

1 year & 8 days ago..

(Yes, I accidentally missed it)

I was going through a hard time in my life.

When I would talk to my bloggy friends about it,

they would encourage me to start blogging.

They would say 

"It was something like that, that made me want to blog"

So one day.

Sitting in my office.

I decided to.

Looking back a year later.

I am GLAD I did it.

I NEVER thought so many people would come up to me and express how much they loved it.

Or how it helped them get through things.

Or asking me when I would be posting another blog. 

I appreciated all the support.

In the past year, I have had manyyy good times I am thankful for:

Halloween as Snooki and Pauly D with my brother!

Watching the CATS go all the way!!

My Birthday Celebration at Keeneland

and MANNYY crazy nights with these girls!! 

I am excited for another year of blogging.

Trying my best to keep up

keep you informed about my entertaining life 

and maybe make you laugh along the way! 

XOXOXO

Thank you for all the support!!

You Think You Know Me??

I agree.. 

Most people who read this know me,

But not inside &out.

You know those unusual things
That I don't tell most people..

So here it goes.

1.

I am seriously scared of Elephants & Cats.

It isn't a joke to me. 

I don't want them near me. 

I don't like the circus. 

I don't like going to houses with cats.

Cats are unpredictable. They are wildlife to me.

Elephants can kill you, with one step.

They are to  big to control and that doesn't need to be around me.

2. 

I am seriously so impatient it's scary.

If I text you, best believe I check my phone every 10 seconds to see a response.

If I order something online, I literally stalk it till it arrives.

I would rather fight the crowd, parking and all to leave with things that I want. (Even for Christmas shopping)

I don't even like to browse at stores, get in and get out.

It's horrible

3. 

I legit think a nap can cure everything.

{I think I got this from my mom}

Stress at work, a fight with a friend, a headache, being sad, 

my response to all these, go take a nap!!

haha. it's awful

My dad even said to me lately "Meg, a nap won't fix everything"

I strongly disagree.

4.

I have a strong personality.

I think some people don't think I know.

But I do.

When people think of me I want them to think HONEST.

Because that's what I am.

I would NEVER intend to hurt anyone.

But I'm honest.

I like to be loud, and have fun.

5.

I am still scared of the dark.

Do I think that something is going to get me, no!

But it makes me uneasy.

Not being able to see.

At night I sleep with the door open, with a lamp in the living room on

and with my tv on. I mute it but have it on.

It's weird.

And I can't help it! 

So now, you know.

some.

talk to you soon!

XOXOXO

Wordless Monday

My work load is high 

and my stress level is higher.

That is why today.

I am not going to say much.

What I am waiting for. Don't Settle. Keep your Standards

What I am trying to do!

exactly.

Less Talk.. More Action

I'm hoping..

LOVE this.

Amen

Can I save this on my phone? haha

EXACTLY.

Love it.

Good To Remember



I am wore out.
Hope Monday didn't kick ya'll like it  did me!
xoxoxox

Letter to Myself

Dear Adolescent Megan, (who thinks she know everything)

Even though right now you KNOW you have it all figured out, you DON'T!

{Looking back almost 25 years ago now}.. I honestly wouldn't change much! 
But here is the advice I WILL give you for throughout your teen years:

* DON'T perm your hair. It looks awful and you have enough curl/wave by it's self. *

* GO to those High School parties. Forgot about that loser boy and go HAVE FUN! Let loose. I promise, you won't regret it! *

* Quit wearing those tall socks, even though you think it makes you look darker, you don't play soccer. *

* Be thankful for those friends you have around you now. Those are the girls who loved you at your ugliest. Respect and Love them. *

* I promise, you don't have as much fashion sense as you think, give everyone a break!! *

* Take more pictures at PROM. Once you get older you will wish you had!

* Be proud of your self for getting most talkative. Don't take it bad. Be PROUD that people felt that comfortable around you and people WANTED to talk to you!

* BE THANKFUL for your mom. Once we got older we realized the "fun parents, are the bad parents"  Somehow we managed to get a mom right in the middle. Don't worry, she will loosen up some more and you will grow to best friends.

* STAY HOME MORE. One day you will look back from your one bedroom apartment and wish you had her and Randy there to talk to, and watch movies with. You will miss it!

Now let go of the expectations, enjoy college, love your brother (he takes good care of you), and talk nice to your daddy (you wouldn't be able to live like this without him)!!! PUT YOUR HANDS UP.. It's about to be a wild, fun ride!! 

XOXOXO 

How I make that Money Honey! (Link-Up)

I am literally so excited for think Link up

because I seriously wonder sometimes,

What do some of these fabbb ladies do in their real life!!

So here is my story.. 

This girlll grew up in a smalll town in Western KY.

Where the population lingers around 7500 and the county is completely DRY.

We have a limited amount of stop lights,

and going to Wal Mart was our main entertainment.

Literally this is how it looks downtown!

I loved it!

But you can only imagine my excitement and shoockkk

when I moved to Lexington to attend

my goodness.. my life went crazyyy

Read more about that HERE

It's a good one!

I graduated in May of 2010 with a degree in 

Hospitality Management.

I had full intentions of working on a cruise

or moving to the coast and working a hotel.

After doing a summer internship here in Lex though.

I decided that probably wasn't for me.

Not to sound snotty, but I like staying in hotels more than I liked working in them. 

My Momma, My Nana (miss her!!), Me and My Daddy!

I then decided to follow in my families foot steps and take a job

with a "Kentucky owned" insurance company.

My dad had been with them for 30 years 

and my brother going on 5. 

and they both LOVED it.. 

After getting school, getting licensed and going through training.

I was ready. 

I officially signed my contract November 1, 2010.

I signed over the next four years of my life 

where I am committed to making quotas or being on the chopping block to loose my job.

There is no forgiveness.

By God's grace I have made it almost two years.

It hasn't always been easy or fun. 

But I am making it!!

I am thankful and blessed to have this good of job out of college.

But I am ready for these two last years to flllyyy by!

and that Honey.. Is how I make my Money!

XOXOXO

I confess..

{Hope you can Handle this}

I CONFESS...

I confess.. that I am so glad it is ALMOST the weekend.

{Even thought, I have barely worked this week}

I confess.. I wear to much jewelry.

{Right now, it is 4 bracelets, earrings, and a necklace}

I confess.. I have no patience.

{This goes into text conversations, returned phone calls,

waiting for an apt, or even shipping after I purchase something}

I confess.. I hold grudges.

{Do I forgive? Yes. Will I ever forget? NO.}

I confess.. that I have recently cut down my circle of friends.

{Looking back over my blog I realize how many people I used to be close to}

Not so much anymore.

{The bad part, it is solely because I felt like they were bringing me down, at a time that I only need people around to make me feel better}

I confess.. that after driving my dads new explored the past couple days I wanted one.

{Then he told me the payment. after throwing up. 

I decided I'll keep my MKX}

I confess.. I don't trust anyone but my family

{It's seriously bad. 

 I don't even think I have a reason all the time}

I confess.. I don't want a boyfriend.

{for a couple reasons: I like being single, it's fun.

I like not having to worry about someone else's plans.

I like not having my feelings hurt by them}

I confess.. the tradegy that happened in Colorado makes me sick

{seriously, where do these people come from}

I confess.. I had the best time at King's Island Tuesday

{seeing my nephew light up makes my world!}

I confess.. that recently I've realized how much I want kids someday

{NOT NOW. breath Mom, I know you are reading this

but for real tho.}

I confess.. I'm sooo glad DirecTV settled.

{I can finally watch my trash again!}

XOXO
