I’ve been anxious about writing this. Like my facebook and myspace profiles, I contemplated using the lyrics of a song to describe me, but the better part of me said to be original. There is so much to me, but I want to say just enough to enlighten you and not too much so as to bore you. That being said, I’ve recently noticed that I am a very moody person (mom, stop laughing). Though the negative aspect of that word may be applicable, I do not mean it to be negative. Throughout any given year/season of my life, I’ve been in the mood for different things. My tastes-or moods-are eclectic (I say that mainly because I love the word eclectic, which is something that HASN’T changed since Sister Act II came out).  I love music of all kinds. I can play my music for 16.7 days and not hear the same song twice; which to some of my friends is no great feat, but it impresses me. If I had to choose a favorite genre of music it would be country. My closest friends call me “the City Slicker” which I am learning to accept. I personally correlate summertime to country music (two of my favorite things!). I wish it could always be summertime: out-door arena concerts, Rocky Mountain sunsets seen from a grain harvester, shorts and tank tops, what could be better? I propose, nothing but Heaven itself! I’m also very indecisive. You all may be wondering how the heck i got on board for this World Race deal? Well, 1) it was God, 2) He leads me to make HUGE decisions by not making them a big deal until I’m committed to go, then i have to stay true to my word. Needless to say, I’m VERY VERY excited about this amazing experience, even though I get overwhelmed sometimes.

 
I GRADUATED from John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, in May, with a degree in Family and Human Services. I wouldn’t add all that if it wasn’t important. You see, I consider my time at JBU a complete work of God. The fact that I graduated is no less significant-dare I say miraculous! I absolutely loved my major and I’m very amazed that I got a degree in learning how to love and relate to people. What amazes me most is that I feel like I learned more about myself than about others. I have grown so much at JBU, hopefully I’ve matured a little, too. God has given me many opportunities to learn who He is and who He has made me to be while at college. I had to learn how to juggle school and my many personal obstacles that God was asking me to work on. I experienced my first panic attack last semester and the coolest encounter with God came shortly thereafter. Basically, He said, “I’m right here, Megan. You can’t do this on your own. That’s the point. Now, take my hand and let me show you. TRUST ME.”
 
Also at college, I had the privilege of playing four years of varsity Soccer. Go figure, I’m 5’5 on a good day, and I was a goalkeeper. I like playing the game, but to my indoor teams’ dismay, I have retired from being a goalkeeper indefinitely.
 
Because I am running out of witty and sarcastic things to say, I will just list other things about me you should probably know:

-I love my family-natural, extended, adoptive (friends).
-I love sports and working out.
-I analyze people and situations-I don’t know if this is my major or a gift from God-and sometimes I wonder if it’s a gift…

-I found it REALLY hard to not use lyrics in this blog.
-I got used to not capitalizing the first letter of a sentence because of Word’s grammar check….so I’m working on pushing ‘shift’ for the word “I” and the first letter of sentences.

-Sarcasm is fun and sometimes I make jokes that people don’t get…
