| Wow, I haven't written in my xanga in over 6 months. I completely forgot I had it. Not that I really had time to post anything anyway. Life is busy as always, well not so much busy as full. Busy sounds so negative. My life is full of wonderful people. My students and kids at youth group, as always, are amazing and I love them all dearly. They take up the majority of my time. The rest of my time is spent co-leading my young adult small group or with my friends. My life is stressful at times and often very hard, but God is really teaching me to have unfailing joy no matter what. As you can see, there isn't too much that's new on my end. Oh wait, there is actually. For those of you who didn't read it on my facebook, I am happy to announce that I am an aunt to a beautiful little girl. She is Brandon and Brandi's daughter and her name is Nevaeh (Na vay ah). How amazing is that?! So now you are all updated on the goings on in the life of Maegen. I'll post again in another 6 months or so...  | | |
| So Ben and Elizabeth got married on Saturday. It was a beautiful ceremony and an incredible reception. I have never cried at a wedding before, but I lost it at the very end. It suddenly hit me that my big brother was getting married. We have talked about him finding an awesome girl and getting married for almost a decade and this weekend it finally happened. Here was this amazing girl who had captured my brother's heart and they were pledging themselves to each other forever. I knew at that moment that things would never be the same. I was overcome with emotion in that one moment when the pastor said "I know pronounce you husband and wife." I was filled with sadness because now everything would change but at the same time I was also filled with incredible joy because my wonderful big brother was so happy. However, now that it is over, the sadness about the changes is gone and I am simply happy. Both of my brothers are happily married and I have two new sisters. Now all I need are a few nieces and nephews...  | | |
| Last night my dad told me that all three of my beagles were put to sleep this past Friday. He gave me the reasons and I don't know if I agree with him or not. I don't think it even matters, the point is that my sweet pups are gone and I didn't get to say goodbye. I am completely devastated by this news. I loved my dogs so much, they were family. I am sobbing even as I write this. I just wanted to post this so that I don't have to tell this story a million times. It's hard for me to talk about, so here it is and now anyone who sees me in the near future will know why I'm in tears or sad all the time. I've already been told that they are just dogs and it's silly to get this worked up, to those of you who agree, you are entitled to your opinion but please back off and let me grieve. To those who understand how I feel, a hug and a kind word would be appreciated. *In loving memory of Shiloh, Brownie, and Cassie Lynne... | | |
| Happy 4th of July everyone. I hope I find you all well. I wanted to update you all on the events going on in the world around me. First off, I am doing much better than I was in my last post. I have had time to relax and process everything and now I am sane again! Wahoo!  Secondly, I had a wonderful time at home last week. It was great hanging with my NY boys and AJ , I really missed them over this past year. Time with my family was nice too. I actually got to spend time with just my mom! I haven't done that in a while. I also got to see my dad and little sister. Dad is so cool, he helped me clean out my car and now it is beautiful. Those of you who know me, know how messy I can be so it's nice to clean things out once in a while... And last of all, I want to officially welcome two new members into my family. Some of you know that my brother Brandon got married 2 weeks ago to a girl named Brandi (I know, Brandon and Brandi how cheesy right? ) Anyway, she has a 2 year old son named Devon. So I now have a new sister and a nephew, how cool is that?! And as of September 1st, I will have yet another sister when Benny and Elizabeth get married. So Brandon is married, Benny is getting married, Amanda is dating, and I am not...this officially clinches my status of spinster sister. Someone told me to get a cat, but I hate cats, so I'm even a defective spinster! Hehe. Things in my life are definitely changing, but God is good and I am actually dealing with it all pretty well if I do say so myself. And who knows what is around the corner. I will say this, my life is never dull!  | | |
| "The time has come," the boss has said,
"To talk of many things:
Of grades--and contracts--and lesson plans--
Of next year's fall--and spring--
And why reports cards are not complete--
And when the class bells will ring." "But wait a bit," the teacher cried,
"Before next year's events;
For some of us are out of breath,
And all of us are spent!"
Now, dear readers, I thank you for listening
To a weary teacher's lament. *Adapted from "The Walrus and the Carpenter" by: Lewis Carroll | | |
