WoW...itS BEeN a Long WHilE!!

OuR car Was JAM pAckEd wiTh StuFf frOm IKEA..haha..ouR gas MileagE home Was TERRIBLE!


RiSh Rockin hiS nEw Sun GLASsEs on The wAy up To lAguNa...We loVe to TAke RoaD TriPs TogETher!!


OuR TraDiTion When We go To CaLI...Stop at MaD GrEek...tHey hAve DiliSH onIon RingS TOO!!

Our room was so nice but it got kinda bad when we would try to sleep at night because the waves would keep us up ...they were soooo loud. Every night they would come and "take down" your bed and they would set a little dark choc. bar on your pillow. It was soo good...so one night the guy gave us a Ton of them so Rish took them home and put one on my pillow every night until he ran out...aww.

IsN't it gorgeous???


So, I feel like I haven't been on Blog in FOREVER! Our computer crashed a few days after my last post and it has just been so crazy. Our life just throws us so many surprises all the time. I've learned to just blow it off and forget about the stress of it because all it is going to do is give me GRAY HAIR..which I already have a few...SCARY! In this last month, Rish got into a car accident, my windshield on my car got busted, my cell phone got destroyed, my sister Mekel is OFFICIALLY gone to Utah, AND on a HIGHER noTE....I finished the TWiLighT series and LOVED every minute of it. It's was so funny when Rish called me the morning he got into the accident...he asked me why I didn't ask if he was ok when he called...I said well....if you are calling then obviously you are alive and your arm wasn't broken and that's all that matters.
We went to Laguna for Rish's birthday and it was THE BEST TIME I"VE HAD IN A LONG TIME! After all the craziness and with everything that has happened...we really needed a break to just relax...but you know of course when you try to go out of town and relax there is always something that you have to go "home" to reality for a little bit. Last time we went to Laguna for his birthday somebody had stolen our credit card number so we couldn't even use our credit card..haha...you just have to laugh and let it all go. AnD we went to IKEA and spent a lot but got a lot of really cute stuff and it makes me sOOO excited for our house and to decorate! OCTOBER 30th is our OFFICIAL walk through. YEA! We will be in it for Christmas and we can actually decorate our first tree!!
I have to say that I am very blessed to have Rish by my side through all the craziness. He is my backbone and whenever things get soo stressful and I say..ugh, I GIVE UP he is there to just lift me up and remind me of all things I have to be grateful for. Of all the relationships I've been through before Rish, I have to say I have never felt that my "special" someone has loved me as much as he does. He is beyond in love with me and sometimes I say he is the girl in our relationship..haha...he always wants to cuddle at night when I'm all hot from him or he is all crunchin me down with his big ol' arms and I'm like..can you just roll over and let me breath for a sec? haha..But he is honestly the best and I think I only tell him the stuff that bugs me...and I think we all tend to do that. Only point out the stuff they Don't do instead of the things they do do...even the little stuff. The other night I had been sooo tired from a 12 hour day at work standing on my feet. I got home and he had dinner set up for me with a bubble bath and a little note on my pillow telling me how much he loves me. So..unselfish... especially for a guy because he had no intention to bug me that night and just let me relax. I don't know what I would do without him and I am very thankful that I found him.
The only thing is I am getting a LITTLE baby hungry but he won't budge at all..haha. I guess it's ok. WIth the economy the way it is and how everything is falling apart...why bring another thing into the world and then stress about it. NOT sayin that kids are just stress, but with so many people losing jobs and how everything is just getting so scary...why bring someone into the world if somethin happened and we didn't even have food to feed it or somethin. lol...I know that is a little extreme but I guess that is how I justify it. I really have to pray about it and figure out what I need to do and not just what Rish doesn't want to do. haha. He wants to be a dad I know for SURE but soon is the question. My sister Mekel was teaching her last lesson in Young Womens so I went to it and it was about all this stuff and not to wait to have babies...that it is very selfish to think of yourself, money,personal goals or stress when it comes to not wanting one. And I think I was meant to hear it because I dont go to young womans...and they didn't talk about that in relief society so....I just think the TIME IS COMING NEAR. But the big ? is ...when and how do we know...and how can I convince my husband it's time if it is time? haha...

FoR mY lOvElY BlOGgIN' FloGgiN's


So, I went on Amanda Evans Blog and saw that she left my sister this really sweet comment because it was her birthday....about memories with her. SO I decided how Much that would uplift anybody anyday...to read what good memory I would have of them...so I decided each person on my list of friends I would share sumthin I love about them or a good memory I have of them...just to let you know you are special..haha...o dear BARF....
In oRder...
Amanda Evans...Like I said before...I always remember playin drive thru at your house and your mom makin her YUMMY cinnamon rolls that she does...

Miss Heather...EEyore Heather...haha..(the voice).you made me(to this day) LOVE to eat baby food! lol....I was your little "baby" and I would do whatever you and Jana said to....weird that you love to play babies and you have so many now...you're STiLL playin house. But hey...I know how it is to be one of your kids and I would love to be one of them again anyday...

Jana Banana...what can I say? Sisters doesn't even cut it for our relationship. I should probably save you for last because I will dwell the most on you but hey...i did say in order. You are always there for me in whatever I need and I love you more than anything you could ever imagine. I would (like I said before) get a house with you and gabe and put it on my credit so you could let your house foreclose...haha...Remember that? (that was me talkin silly again in ANOTHER fight..haha) I love our "late night happy's" and how we always laugh at eachother because we know that nobody else thinks it's funny. You have always been so willing to take me in and mother me...like my junior year of highschool. I practically lived at your apartment. I can't believe I hated you so much when we lived together..haha..but that's only because you would make me have the towel barbie house while you had the mansion! JERK...and the pink ghetto barbie car while you got the mercedes and the porche. Or, how we would play church and I couldn't read at the time so you would go up and give a talk and I would go up and "pretend to read" and make up stories..haha. But....I promise I won't ever not drink off you again because I think that you are mean and ugly and I will grow up to look like you and not Mekel...haha...OBVIOUSLY that trick didn't WORK!!!! I look EXACTLY like you! GEEZ you know I love you and I gotta stop writing cuz i'm tearin up and Rish is laughin at me...

Jt and Kali-You guys are the best ever! All the trips you would come down to Vegas and Rish and I would get so excited to have you guys stay at our little apartment...haha...we felt so grown up adultish to have you guys do that. I just remember seein how Jt looked at you and thinkin...wow...they are 4 sure gettin married! Jt...when you got home from your mission and we flew out to Washington to see you when you got home...that was my first meeting with you and I was like...dang Rish...Do you have any bad friends? are ALL of your friends this cool? come on...I just lOVE all of them! and how I fell in LOVE with your parents...I still am...and how welcoming they were to me...

Miss Brooke Duke- All I knew at first was you were with some crazy BAD guy and I was like...umm...she needs to get away from him(you know who). Then of course my first impression was..dang Britney look our for Brooke...she's got your snake and REAL hair...not bald...WATCH OUT! haha

Ryan and Mal- My Favorite memory of Ryan was when Rish and I were first dating and Rish went to Ryan's ward to have me meet him and he also had to give a talk because he just got home from his mission. After sacrament Rish got down from the pulpit and we all walked outside. Well, I took Jana with me so we went outside and got in the car and and Ryan and Rish went to Jana's side because she was driving and were all talkin with us. All of a sudden Ryan was sayin stuff to Jana like she was the one he was dating...haha...Jana goes...umm...I married he's dating Megan and points to me. hahaha...then Ryan says "I was like dang Rish you have a girl who has a baby...holy crap...you just got home from you mission..I was a little worried" hahaha Then Mallory. The first time we met you at the Stratosphere and Rish and I went home sayin...dang she is the coolest girl we have ever met...we knew you were PERFECT for Ryan! But my favorite memory of you was going bowling at the Redrock lanes and you had a sheer dress on and it was COSMIC bowling...haha...your garments were glowing under your dress and we were all laughin so you went to the bathroom and took them off so you couldn't see your entire religion! ahahahahha....you were free ballin. Man..we miss you guys!

Sara - You are soo cute and Thanksgiving would have never been the same with out you guys! I just remember thinkin how much I thought you were the coolest prettiest big sister ever! Eryn would always get mad at you but I was always like...how she is soo nice? And going to the lake was fun.

Eryn V- All I can say is you and your family are the coolest most chill ever! For some reason you are soo cool and not like you know"all the others" I love talkin with you guys because I know we can say whatever and be so honest and there is no "judging". But you know like I've said....Your hair is the easiest to put in an updo! I would do your hair anyday! And you looked so gorgeous on your wedding day! And best of all...WERE GONNA BE NEIGHBORS!!!!

Shaun and Brit- What can I say to sum up the best summer I've had in a long time? Brit you are such a sincere person and I just love talkin to you and hangin out. Shaun is hilarious and Says the FUNNIEST stuff and does the craziest stuff it makes me laugh. KD is soo cute and I just miss you guys so much. I love how we both love to swim and love the melting pot...haha. When we went up to Washington for Jt's wedding..it was so cool just bein with everybody and havin soo much fun. You are the best when it comes to wedding stuff and makin sure everything turns out ok for the bride and groom. I LOVE you guys! (ps..britt i've read almost all of the Twilight series...i'm on the end of the third book...umm...so good and we gotta talk about Mr. Edward..haha)

Mrs. Eryn Joseph- You NEVER go on your blog...but just in case you do one day and come across my comment I just want to let you know that I am so glad we grew up together and all the fun times we had...even up to plannin sadies...which didn't go exactly as planned and we ended up goin on a roller coaster instead of a hypnotist..ya that's because WE planned it. haha

Shafers- Of course Nicole and I grew up from diapers to high school so you are like a 2nd mom to me. I just loved it when you would make your famous salsa...holy crap that stuff is soo good! And bein the coach of the Cobras was always fun with you! I'll never forget all the trips I would take with you guys and all the wrestling tournaments we would do...I really miss you guys!

Brittney Winder- haha...well johnny...what can I say? O the memories.....boys...o dear....everything. Our spice girl days...hahhaa if you wanna be my lover...then you have to know this dance that we came up with. haha. Boy was it crazy to go to your wedding and see you and how much we've grown up. I just miss our sleep overs, mischief we would always find a way to get into, etc...the list can go on for ever....it's just so crazy...who would have thought how our lives would end up? ahh...the possibilities.

We had a lot of fun and went to BJ's pizza..SOOOOO GOOD! and then midnight bowling at the Red Rock. I bowled a 107 YEA!! I was so proud of myself. I wore skinny jeans so my bowling shoes made me look like I was the circus act in between bowling frames. NEVER again will I wear those to go bowl. hahaha..actually I thought it was really funny.

Dreams...Dreams...Dreams..zzzzz


So last night I had a dream about me having a baby and it's always the same with a little weird "dreamy" twist(you know when it makes absolutely no sense at all and is so random..). Last night's dream was a little more "dream" twisted than normal..haha..but it is interesting. SO..MARK my words...in every dream I ALWAYS have a little girl. The first dream I had of her she had just come out of my "womb" so she was way jacked up looking. Then after that she is soooo beautiful. Last night she was the most GORGEOUS baby I had ever seen. But, it goes to show how real my dream was because I had this beautiful mixed baby with my big eyes..rish's nose...skin..you know. and straight hair!! YEA!! and she weighed 8 lbs 11 ounces..lol..holy CRAP! I was 8lbs. 12 ounces so I think that's where I got it from. Rish also had a dream a lil bit ago and he said it was a girl too but he couldn't see her face...ANyways...it didn't really occur to me until today that I might be having visions of her..lol...because here comes the next dream story. so when Rish was on his mission he had a dream of the picture above. He was at the temple getting married and his wife was tall, blonde, and walking on the hill towards the temple. When he told me that I said...well why didnt you tell me that sooner? You could have helped me pick out my dress since you already knew what it looked like and saved me a LOT of trouble. So..today we FINALLY got our wedding pictures from the temple...and the only reason we did was because we have until the 8th of August or else we can't get them anymore because the site will expire. LOL..so we got in the discussion about dreams..and things that you see...and I got reminded of his vision/dream so this dream/vision came true BUT if i have a girl first ....that is crazy..if she weighs 8lbs 11 ounces...then that is not only NUTS but I am NOT looken forward to that!haha.. Rish said he thinks our little girl wants to come down so bad but we won't let her..haha. NOT YET!!!

Rubber Ducky You're The one..You make Bathtime SOO much FUN!

So my sister Jana and her family came over and we went swimming for a while and it got dark before we got out..so we were FREEZING!! We decided to jump in the tub and add some bubbles...umm...the jets in the tub turned a few drops of bubbles into a whole bathroom full of bubbles. Kenidee was eating the bubbles and tryin to survive in the bath..haha..as you can see she could barely see above them, but she liked it.Kenidee is such a diva and loves the camera..you tell her to smile for the camera and she will start posing and getting all cute for it. It's so funny. RIsh was messing with her and my nephew Kyler and she got hurt. So I told her to tell Rish thanks for getting her hurt...she screams "THANKS? THANKS FOR NOTHING UNCLE RISH!!" lol..She is the biggest trip! She really loves her "uncle RISSSSSHHHHHHHHHH" lol..and she calls me her "favorite aunt Megan" but that is ONLY because I train her EVERYDAY I call...she used to say it was her aunt chrissy..lol..so she is most likely 'truly' her favorite but I brain washed her into sayin it is me...haha :(



FHE bowling BABY!!

We tried to get my teeth glowing but the camera didn't capture it very well...

LOL..I don't think pops really likes to bowl..Mish was kicken his butt tho.

You HAVE to love the bowling shoes...mine looked like clown shoes cuz my feet are so big..lol..Rish has his OWN spCiaL bowling shoes..um...gay!

Stefan and his NEW girl..she is way nice I just hope it lasts cuz he goes through girls like...youknow...he goes through boxers.

Miss Stasi and Tay Tay. I think they are going to start a Blog now...

OKAY seriously I CAN'T bowl for the life of me..but Rish Finally taught me a trick to put my leg behind me instead of..what this pic shows..lol..bowling like an Idiot!It only worked like 3 times and then my sucky bowling came back..haha.

Our house...with 2 stories now YEA!!


Part of our kitchen/dining room

Our Master Bedroom

THE MOST important room for me..the CLOSET!!
So Rish and I went up to the house on Sunday..the usual.When we first went to the house with just the cement they had written our super master bath upgrade on the ground. So I figured..okay we know for sure they can't mess that up because everyday they go into work they will see...NOPE. Sure enough we went upstairs to our bathroom and it was the original bathroom without the upgrade. So..a little set back for the building, but I'm sure they will be more careful to not have any screw ups because it costs them lots of money. I'm afraid when we do the walk-in for our flooring and cabinets that I will be extremely picky on...so that will probably put us back a little bit too..but it's okay. I'm just getting really excited to move in and decorate!!!

Rish HAD to get a picture of my two uncles..lol..This is the Famous Candy Counting Game...I WON!! Finally after 4 years. I wanted to win the tootsie rolls so Rish could bite his finger off..lol. But, I won the jelly beans.

My dad and Rish at Brigham Young's grave. Rish swears he's gonna pay to be buried there..lol

My Mom and Dad at their FIRST apartment(basement) when they were married...30 years ago! that house is OLD!!

We slept in the basement of my Aunt and Uncles..this was their prized possession huge T.V. they tried to fit in their entertainment center..lol

RIsh and I at the Joseph Smith movie...that was a spiritual experience..i asked my mom before we saw it if it was a tear jerker...she says "I didn't cry"..I balled my eyes out and peeped over at her wiping away her tears...after the movie I asked if she cried and with red eyes she said "No I told you I didn't cry..lol"

My mom seriously LOVES Rish and I think sometimes she loves him more than me. She spoils him rotten!

My Cousin Renee...everybody thought were sisters..lol

Rish Finally met my mom's HUGE side of the family. 10 brothers and sisters. I am the 54th cousin on my mom's side..Crazy huh? We played games at my cousin's house the first night and now Rish and I are hooked on the game Ticket to Ride Europe. It is really fun! I had to order it when we got home to make Rish happy. Then we went to Temple Square and did all the sight seeing. I forgot how much I LOVE being married and not living at home! My parents drove me crazy all weekend. It is always funny to see my dad get mad when he can't boss me around anymore. He tries to be all controlling and i'm like...dad...I don't have to listen to you anymore. lol...he HATES that whole concept. haha...I love them though. We had a lot of fun and Rish got to see the REAL side of my dad..the IMPATIENT crazy side..lol. HILARIOUS!!

Saturday, July 19, 2008





Today was a fun "date" day. I woke up and worked for a lil bit but then Rish and I went to eat, shop, and go to see "The Dark Knight". IT was REALLY REALLY GOOD!! I am a forever fan of Batman tho...sumthin bout that bat suit that makes him so dang sexy..haha. I was catwoman for Halloween when I was little..so that tells you my love for Batman. BUt I am still upset about Heath Ledger. It is so sad..he has a little girl and just left this life so quickly. THis movie proves what a FREAKIN AWESOME actor he was. People were sayin it would be really hard to compete with Jack Nicholson's portrayal of joker but i don't think the two even compare. It's kinda scary how heath acts as joker in THe Dark Knight, but people were sayin that he would even act like that when the camera was off to stay in character I guess. lol..i was like..um...I would not have talked to him then cuz he really freaked me out in the movie. The only complaint is it's REALLY long...2 1/2 hours to be exact. And I dunno if it's just me but of all the woman in Hollywood to play Batman's "love" why Maggie Gyllenhaal? But i guess cuz Katie HOlmes backed out they had to find a similar character...? I just think Batman needs a gorgeous lover girl. lol.. I am hoping they might redo the Batman and Catwoman with the Penguin man...lol...and cast some really hott girl to be catwoman like Charlize Theron or Kate Beckinsale. haha...maybe one day. But you have to see it...it's good!

My Busy Busy Wednesday












SO today I woke up early and went to babysit my niece and nephew. I realized today that I don't think taking care of my own kids would be soo hard. I think I really enjoy it. My nephew Jace absolutely LOVES me and I love that. He looks at me like he looks at my sister and it puts this soft spot in my heart for him...I've always wanted that with a baby and that always made me want my own. A baby may go to you or giggle with you or whatever....but when it comes to mom...no baby has eyes for anybody like they have for MOM. Anyway...I loved every minute of it. "playin house" with them and just hanging out. My niece is so HILARIOUS! So I went home after that and fed Rish and we cleaned up a bit and then Shuan, Brittany, and her sister came over. I just want to say I really love Brittany so much. She's like my long lost best friend who got put in the wrong state to grow up in and we are just NOW finding each other. lol...but seriously...I love her and shaun..and KD. We hung for a bit at the house and of course Rish shows off his GAY playstation 3...("the Graphics are so good dude..come and see it" lol) Then we went to the Melting Pot for dessert. By the way...RIsh and Shaun can THROW down with there food...ie: They ate a number one from In-N-Out before they went, ate the cheese fondue by themselves and had a choc fondue by themselves at the end. O ya, and might I add shaun ate before he even came over..haha. Brittany's sis is really sweet too! We had a lot of fun and I am going to be devastated Saturday when they have to leave :(
