I owe you all an explanation! It's a great one though that I'm really excited to share with you! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
A couple weeks ago I helped start a local organization with the woman that I pet sit for. It is called <a href="http://www.allhearts4paws.moonfruit.com/">All Hearts 4 Paws</a> and is a great organization! Here is a quote direct from out FB page on what we are about, "We are a group of dedicated citizens that strive for one common goal. The animals of Northeast Texas are in desperate need of a shelter and competent management of such facility that has their best interest at heart. The current state of pet overpopulation and lack of community support for their welfare is disheartening. We will change this in a positive manner and are doing it immediat<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 14px;">ely!"</span></span>. There is a lot to it but I won't share everything here. In my community, we DO have a humane shelter that is run by a private group partially funded by the city. They have asked to renew their contract again this year and we are wanting them to decline it. It is a known thing in our surroundings town that if an animal makes it to our shelter, they have a big chance of not making it out. That is terrible! The kill rate at the shelter is extremely too high, they don't have near enough room for any of the animals, the facility is very run down, and so much more that I should not go on about. So what my organization is trying to do is stop the contract from being signed, get a new shelter run by the CITY so it has to be by regulation, educate the public about the reality of the situation, the overpopulation, & the importance of spaying/neutering and get a immediate temporary shelter. We have only been going literally 2 weeks but have gotten the ball rolling pretty well! We have had meetings with city councilmen, got business's to back us up, organized events, and a lot more! We have a big meeting with different rescue groups and the general public next week so I have been preparing for that this week. We are hoping to help rescue groups in whatever way we can adopting out the animals they have. I'm very proud of the way it is going so far!<br />

<br />
I have such a heart for animals & I'm so happy I'm finding ways to help them! I never thought that at 22, I'd be helping run a organization like this with NO ONE near my age. But you know what? I think it's awesome! I'm hoping people see it as a good thing, like "It's good the younger generation is getting involved in this!". The reaction could go the complete opposite direction though. I'm not going to worry about it though because I'm not doing it for any PERSON. I'm doing this to try and help make a difference for these poor animals. It is not right and someone has to speak for them!<br />
<br />
If you have any problems like this in your town & are an animal lover I suggest that you do something about it! If you want to help my town (which would be AMAZING) go check out the webpage link I put above! If anything, I would ask for prayers. Prayers for my city, my mayor, the animals and All Hearts 4 Paws!<br />

On another note.. Gypsy got adopted!!<br />

Excuse the quality of my pictures, they are coming from Ryan's phone. This was my last night with her above! I was so happy to find her a home but after having her a month I grew attached! I'm so happy with her home though because it is an AMAZING man that I've known pretty much my whole life! </div>

I had a great interview today that has already called me back but it is a job with a low cost spay/neuter clinic where my rate would only go up to $8. I LOVE the cause but just can't live on that right now! So it seems like I'm coming so close yet so far!</div>

Yall have welcomed me back SO greatly and I really just want to show yall some appreciation! I'm not positive on what I will give away yet, but I do know it will be something from my OWN art/DIY collection! So be looking for that soon hopefully!</div>

On ANOTHER note, I think I have decided to give my blog a little makeover. I don't want anything drastic, I still love my simple look, but it needs a little more! The thing is, I'm not very good at doing the WHOLE site! I know there are many of you out there that offer these services for payment. I unfortunately cannot go this route right now (being in between jobs). So if any of you lovely people would like to help me out or give me a "how to" lesson, I would just LOVE you! I may even feature you on a post and my new upcoming side bar! </div>

As you can see, Emily has been a part of my life FOREVER! We've been friends since we were 3 years old! We've literally been planning our weddings our whole lives. We went off to different colleges, she lived in LONDON (which I went to <a href="http://www.meg-captivated.blogspot.com/2011/06/london-day-2.html">visit</a>), now she just moved to New Hampshire to go to grad school! Despite our distance we are still as close as you can be! She is an amazing person, SO smart & I admire her so much! I'll be honored to have her standing with me! </div>

Layna<span style="font-family: inherit;"> has been my </span>bestie<span style="font-family: inherit;"> since middle school! Apparently we MET in elementary school, but she was scared of me? </span>Side note<span style="font-family: inherit;">: She says I wore a red leather jacket (keep the jokes to yourself) and looked intimidating, ha! She has always been my partner in crime! We went to New York together in middle school, walked around time square singing "Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy" (because they talk about </span>Broadway<span style="font-family: inherit;">?) acting like we owned the place. That was before a </span>pigeon<span style="font-family: inherit;"> pooped on me </span>at least<span style="font-family: inherit;">. We always have fun together and she is going to hold me together on my wedding day! </span></div>

Kelsey has been around just as long as Emily! The above picture is from high school drill team days! We both grew up dancing and were both leaders of our team in high school. Kelsey is an AMAZING woman! She is married and has a beautiful little boy! She will definitely be my rock to hold onto when I'm FREAKING out during the planning process! She has always been wise beyond her years and has always been willing to listen & help me with my crazy problems! Love this girl and can't WAIT for her to hold my hand!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Whitney has been SUCH a blessing in my life! I met her a couple years ago through my sorority, Sigma Alpha. I have no idea how it happened but we immediately hit it off! Before I moved back home a few months ago, we were </span>inseparable<span style="font-family: inherit;">! I would not have had an easy time in college if it wasn't for this girl! She held me together! I feel like I've known her WAY longer then just a couple years! We have some distance between us now but we are already doing frequent visits! Another exciting note about her...</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Now you may have noticed I didn't name a maid of honor. This is because I do not have one! I made this decision because honestly I just could not pick! I love all of these girls so much and they all are important to me in different ways! I trust them all to help me in whatever way I ask of them. Some people may not agree with my decision to not include a maid of honor, but I am completely confident in my decision! Did anyone else make this decision? If you are ABOUT to have to make this decision, don't feel pressured to HAVE to pick a maid of honor! As long as you are comfortable splitting up the </span>responsibilities between your girls then don't worry about picking one! <span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15856140261438229948noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058711739799360201.post-24955762134477266462012-07-23T16:06:00.003-07:002012-07-23T16:06:53.222-07:00Glance into my wedding<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I've already announced this, but I'll say it again.. I'M ENGAGED!! We already have a venue, photographer and date. The date is April 20, 2013! So I hopefully have plenty of time to plan and save! My next order of business WILL be my dress, but that will probably be the hardest part for me! But for now, I wanted to give yall a glimpse into my Pinterest wedding board! Heres some of my inspiration for my wedding! It will be a combo of a couple styles, so I've awkwardly named it "vintage woodsy chic". Strange yes, but will work great for me! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Today I will do my first EVER makeup review on my blog! To be honest, I am NOT the biggest fan of makeup! I wear powder, eyeliner, mascara and maybe on a good day a smudge of </span><span style="background-color: white;">eye shadow</span><span style="background-color: white;"> just on the corner of my eye. I just don't really like the feeling of it! As some of you know, I used to be a dancer in high school, so I had to CAKE it on then. So maybe that turned me off? Who knows! ANYWAYS, this is about my currently </span><b>FAVORITE</b><span style="background-color: white;"> mascara! I'm going to show you 2 different kinds, a cheap option and a more pricey. I'm including pictures of my own lashes with ONLY mascara on! No eyeliner or anything else so yall can really see what the mascara can do. I also did not use a curler! So without further ado..</span></div>

You can get this at Ulta for $6.99! I own this version and the waterproof. It has a curved brush so it helps curl your lashes without using a curler. I love the flared because it flares out your outer lashes, which def helps make your lashes look longer! I literally hardly have any lashes so I have to take what I can get! </div>

You can get this at Ulta for a whopping $23.00! Quite a difference yes! I feel like i should throw out there that I did not pay for it, it was a gift from my mother (the true makeup guru). I LOVE this mascara though! It really lengthens my lashes and makes them actually look full! My favorite thing about it though is that it truly does last all day! It doesn't even smudge! My lashes were clumpy before I put it on, so the picture isn't perfect. </div>

At the end of their school year this year they had a talent show! They wanted to do a dance in it and had me choreograph it. They picked the song and everything! The 2 oldest were in it, along with one of their friends. We only practiced a couple times, so they did AWESOME for that! I have to show them off, so here is a video! The two on right (your right) are my nephews!</div>

<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Question #1) What is your biggest phobia?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd have to still say my answer is TORNADOES! I've said this as a little kid and still stick by it! I've never really been in one too close so its the fear of actually being in one that gets me. Yet one of my favorite movies is "Twister"? Oh well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Question #2) If you could relive any day of your life, what would it be and why?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple years ago in April, the day my grandfather died. I was 4 hours away when he got bad and got the surprising call from my mom, but she urged me to stay where I was because they weren't sure of anything yet. My whole family was there with him, but I wasn't. He ended up passing that night, which would have given me plenty of time to go there. Sorry for a depressing answer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Question #3) If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what would it be?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is a really hard question! Honestly, I don't think I'd WANT to! Every age has its ups and downs. And you always want more no matter your age so you'd never be content if you stayed one age forever!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Question #4) Which celebrity do you get mistaken for?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No one. But I've gotten comments that I kindaa look like some. The main one is a NASCAR driver, Danica Patrick. </div>

<span style="background-color: white;">This may be a long post but I'm going to try and make it short & sweet! A lot has happened guys in the past couple months! I did move back home which has been good! I've had a job then lost a job and am back out there looking. I unfortunately have had a lot of deaths in the family. But a lot of good things have happened too! My little brother graduated from high school in May and will be moving off to college this summer. </span></div>

I rescued a dog last weekend! I saw it on the side of the road but drove away then came back 30 minutes later to see if it was still there and it was! So of course I had to get it and Ryan (the boy) and I spent the night with it in a tent in my backyard! Unfortunately we can't keep her though we want to, so I'm in the process of looking for a home for her! </div>

This is how Ryan proposed. He had me over for dinner at his apartment with flowers, tablecloth, fancy food, the whole bit! At the end he brought out a "gift" that had these scrapbook pages in it. I saw the green one first "Why I Love you" and just loved it! Underneath it was the White "Will you Marry Me" sheet! He made both of these, even putting the little touches like the lace around the edges! It was really cute because on our 1 year anniversary (so long ago!) he made me an actual scrapbook then left the last page blank for ADDITIONAL pages! So this was absolutely perfect! </div>

So when I want to watch sometime I kinda just pick a show and watch all the seasons they have of it. WELLLLL.. I got HOOKED on The Vampire Diaries! I watched the seasons they had there then went online and watched them and now have been keeping up with it every week! LOVE LOVE that show! I've always been a weirdo and loved the paranormal type stuff. There's a crazy love story, action, TONS of drama and duhhh, 2 very attractive guys. </div><div style="color: #990000;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #990000; text-align: center;">Who do I want Elana to be with? I have no idea! Stephan is a sweetheart, well until this season and they are super cute together! However, he doesn't appeal as much with this bad boy-ness about him. Damon IS the typical bad boy. But it works for him! He really cares for Elana too and brings out the fun in her! </div><div style="color: #990000;"><br />

I'm actually <u>back</u>! </b></span></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> 6 months.. that is a very long time to leave yall hanging! I'm so sorry guys, I truely am! I have an explanation for you though! Remember my last couple posts about my mom? Thats my explanation! Once that happened things got crazy and I just didn't have the motivation to come back to blogging until now. I guess before jumping back on the train I should give yall an update on my life! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well things with my mom are so much better now! She did have a double bypass surgery which was very scary! The morning after it she went into cardiac arrest and had to have CPR performed on her for 32 minutes, scariest moment of my life. But she came back to us, she did always told me she was strong! However the CPR caused internal bleeding and the next day she had to go into surgery again to fix that. She doesn't remember any of that obviously, she only remembers going into surgery the first time then waking up 4 days later. Those 4 days were so hard on us but more so on her. After all of that, my focus has changed dramatically, as it should. Family has always been a huge priority in my life but now it is truely of the MOST importance! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm moving back to my hometown TO my family in a month! I am not currently in school right now, but I have a plan on starting a Vet Technology school during the summer (which I'm super excited about)! Moving back home is good but sad too! I will miss all of my friends here and my amazing sorority! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It was so good to finally be able to see my mom in person after all of that news! She is back home now, doing well, supposed to be on bed rest for a couple weeks. They haven't scheduled the surgery yet but I will definitely go down again when they know. <br />
<br />
On a lighter note, I've been reading A LOT lately. I mean a crazy amount. I haven't had cable in about a month so the only thing to occupy my time with is books! On a side note, I haven't had internet this week due to it just sucks. I've read more books in a month's time than I thought I would read this whole summer! Now my book taste varies EXTREMELY. I love good ole chick books, Christian fiction books, mystery books, horror, classic, etc. Honestly, two of my favorite books of all time are <u>Dracula</u> and <u>How to Kill a Mockingbird</u>. Quite different, right? But hey they are both classics. ANYWAYS, I just finished the original <u>The Phantom of the Opera </u>the other night. Obviously, I had to follow that up with actually WATCHING the movie. Duh. I absolutely LOVE the movie and can sing every word to the songs. But you know who I JUST recognized last night? Gerard Butler! I really hope some of you just realized this too because then I will feel better about myself. But YES! Gerard Butler is the Phantom! He is really singing and everything! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images.wikia.com/poto/images/b/bc/The_Phantom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" naa="true" src="http://images.wikia.com/poto/images/b/bc/The_Phantom.jpg" width="239px" /></a></div><br />
WOAH, right!? I was completely impressed by this. He has been in so many different kinds of movies! "P.S. I love you", "300", "How to Train your Dragon", "Law Abiding Citizen", "The Ugly Truth", etc. Awesome. <br />

Listen to him talk about it and then just PLEASE listen to him sing below. It's crazy once you actually realize who you are listening too! <br />

I am alive..My dear readers, once again I have failed to fill you in when I become absent like this. It has been awhile hasn't it? Well, honestly it still may be a couple days. I'm just not in the blogging mood lately and this is why:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyRqb3xt6vpECYhzFuO1Vw6xWKz5Ukbx7_L7vQQAN9Saq07Krb0_-J_Z6x8vKGz4VBlhY4J_7RJ2CsvputCnhE8K3dOHWExT64twXlSC41QP9ApG1GMbyIkYYKqeJCC2KPMdApm-kKkZz8/s1600/n1533750047_30123400_6519.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyRqb3xt6vpECYhzFuO1Vw6xWKz5Ukbx7_L7vQQAN9Saq07Krb0_-J_Z6x8vKGz4VBlhY4J_7RJ2CsvputCnhE8K3dOHWExT64twXlSC41QP9ApG1GMbyIkYYKqeJCC2KPMdApm-kKkZz8/s320/n1533750047_30123400_6519.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
That is my mom. Okay, I'm just going to jump into this. Saturday night, she woke up at 2 in the morning not being able to breathe. Thank heavens, my step dad was there (because my brother was not and usually my step dad is away at work in Oregon) and was able to rush her to the emergency room. Apparently they said she literally had made it just in time. She has been in the hospital ever since that night. For the first few days they had her on oxygen machines and were running all sorts of tests on her giving us no answers. She started throwing up constantly and spitting up blood, very scary things. Finally, last night the doctors were able to give us some kind of answer. It turns out my mom had 2 heart attacks. Apparently one was 6 months ago, that somehow we did not catch. Then Saturday night was the second. Also, she has a defective heart valve. What this means is that her heart is pumping blood into her lungs instead of wherever it is supposed to be going. Honestly, there are a lot of different things wrong with her heart that are all so technical I don't understand them. I've been receiving all this information over the phone so it is hard to keep up. Anyways, like the heart attack news wasn't shocking enough. This morning they went into her heart to check it out more and ended up putting a stint into it. They also have decided she needs to have a double bypass surgery within a couple weeks, once she is feeling a little better. That news just came to us today. I was at work at the time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY5GjdRfFKYREp0iioDxK2hg7MATKE9-xHxqVJBm-gHzxj7yC2TWLqzjBeb9k13Uk1_U0EHrIp7AWCBL0RhqRhMjeP_K0__rxfFWTvpJkAUDg3GNL0RvvbzMxpyBcMEb-kEyreJx055alm/s1600/seniornight+009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY5GjdRfFKYREp0iioDxK2hg7MATKE9-xHxqVJBm-gHzxj7yC2TWLqzjBeb9k13Uk1_U0EHrIp7AWCBL0RhqRhMjeP_K0__rxfFWTvpJkAUDg3GNL0RvvbzMxpyBcMEb-kEyreJx055alm/s320/seniornight+009.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I'm honestly still shocked and haven't quite taken everything in yet. I've been trying to not dwell too much on it. It is also really really hard when I'm not there with her and the rest of my family, seeing this things in real life. You have no idea how awful I felt this entire week not being able to be there with her. AWFUL. HORRIBLE DAUGHTER. I'm just being honest. Because we literally just came back from vacation, I could not take off work mainly because I can not pay my bills if I don't have SOME money. I wanted to say to myself "Oh forget it, you can manage Megan. Just go!". But then I know I can't get help from my parents with money because now we are going to have a huge hospital bill. I knew I had to stay. That being said, I worked almost 12 hours today to make up for the time I will miss on Friday because I AM going back then. And I will miss work the day she has her surgery. No questions.<br />
<br />

You know what also kind of stopped me from going? A little fear inside of my head that something bad may happen the moment I leave. Let me explain on this. Last year, both of my grandfathers died. I was away at college during those times too. When I got the call that they were in the hospital not doing well (they were both quick deaths), I immediately got in my car to try and make it (3 1/2 hours). Both times I failed. The second time I had made it back, had just walked in the house to drop off my cats, when my dad called me and told me not to come to the hospital, that he had just passed away. Both times, my families were in the hospital with them at some point, able to say goodbye. I was hours away rushing to try. Then when I got this phone call about my mom, I tried not to freak and rush there because I honestly thought, "Megan, don't. You will jinx this. It always happens.". Sad, yes, but true and honest.<br />

This is a really deep and kinda sad post and I apologize for that. Like I said, this is why I haven't really been in the blogging mood. I promise I'm not falling off it, I will return. I would be so appreciative if yall could keep my family in your prayers, if you think of it. Anything will help.<br />

I'm trying to be as positive as I can. Right now, I think I'm the only one half way positive though it sounds like. I know it is scary but as crazy as it seems, this is in God's plan. I do know that. And I've never in my life met a women stronger than my mom. Ever.

I'm joining the Vintage Apple again for Pinteresting Wednesday! I love Pinterest and it is so much fun to share with yall what I love on there! <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #4c1130;">On a side note.. </span></b></span>I leave for Oregon tomorrow! I have a few guest bloggers lined up, but I do have a question for everyone! What is the easiest way to guest blog? Should I have them send me their posts or give them my password and allow them to post? I've never had a guest blogger before so I'm not quite sure the most efficient way to get this done! Now on to my pins..<br />

Last Monday I picked up a couple books from my local bookstore. I really had no idea of what I wanted when I walked in but this is one that I ended up coming out with. It is called "One Day" by David Nichols. I had NO idea that it was made into a movie as well, which actually comes out in August! I will DEFINITELY be going to see it because I LOVED this book! I got it on Monday and finished reading it Wednesday. It is a quick read that you will not want to put down. I felt very much a part of the story and I feel like I could relate somehow. Here is a little synopsis of the storyline!<br />
<br />
Basically, the story is about one girl, Emma, and a boy, Dexter, who go in and out of each others life constantly. They meet on July 15 the day they graduate from college and instantly are captivated by one another. The book goes year by year in each chapter on exactly July 15th of the following year. This gives you a glimpse into each of their lives and where they stand relationship wise. Emma and Dexter are complete opposites but always seem to gravitate towards one another even after not seeing each other for years. Dexter is the crazier of the two and Emma is the one who knows how to settle things down. The book goes through 20 years of their lives and ends just as quickly as it started.<br />
<br />
Once again, I loved this book and would read it again. I'm really excited to see the movie as well! If you like love stories then you just have to read this. Let me know what you think of it if you do or if you've already read it! I'd love to see what other people think too!<br />
