escapades of a musical narniac

Definitely going to have to take some time to figure out how to navigate around . . . yes, I am ashamed to say that it’s been that long since I’ve been on here. *Intense blush*

In recent news, there is way too much recent news, so I will condense. First, I am officially a high school graduate, as of last Saturday. Where I live, the HEAV (Homeschool Educator’s Association of Virginia) holds a ceremony every year in which 200 graduates participate in a legit ceremony, with your name called and a stage and walking up said stage and everything. (Which is a lot more nerve wracking than it seems at first!) It was a really nice day, and tons of fun. Plus I’m enjoying being out of high school, finally! The only catch is that now, everyone and their second cousin asks me “So Megan. What are you planning on doing now?”. (Don’t get me wrong; I love when people ask. It’s interesting how many people are actually personally interested in what I plan to do with the rest of my life!) Maybe I’m irresponsible, but I honestly don’t know! My stock answer has now become, more or less, “Getting a job, saving for school, unless something comes up before that can happen.”. The job hunt is pretty relentless; I’m praying that something comes up soon! Next week is going to be “application week”, so hopefully my optimism will overpower my lack of confidence!

Secondly, my family has moved. Nothing super serious, just about 20 minutes from where we used to live. However, this has caused me to be very busy, hence one of the reasons I haven’t been blogging for almost a year, what the Tash!! Lord knows how long. Packing/unpacking/settling is not one of my favourite things to do! But I now have a walk-in closet, which is cool enough on it’s own, and makes the horrid sound of cardboard scratching cardboard almost entirely worth it. (;

Thirdly, my sister got married in July, and I got my first taste of what it’s like to be a Maid of Honor! It’s not too much hassle, just a lot of planning, plotting, setting up, cleaning up, and, yes, dancing. Oh yes, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls: Lady Megan of the Two Left Feet actually broke it down on a dance floor for a couple hours. *Wild applause*. We’re waiting on the photographer for pictures that haven’t appeared on Facebook yet; I’ll be sure to toss a few on here when we get them! It was definitely one of the greatest days of my life, and I’m so happy for Renee!! It’s sort of weird, and hard to wrap my mind around the fact that she doesn’t live with us anymore, but it’s a part of growing up.

And now that all the huge life-altering things are out of the way, the smaller-but-just-as-exciting-in-my-mind things. Tomorrow my mom, little sister, and I are headed to the beach for a few days with one of my mom’s friends, which I’m most looking forward to because we’ll be staying in a camper and roasting things over a fire pit, and it all just sounds like an adventure. My little sister and I are playing a few Nancy Drew games we got recently, and the one we’re currently working on is set in Canada, so we’re joking about being at the beach during the day, and Canada by night. Mostly, I’m just looking forward to being away for a few days, relaxing, and taking a deep breath, because that doesn’t happen too often. Ahh. Just thinking about it makes me excited.

Finally, I’ll finish with the fact that you, my Dear Blogging Friends, are always on my mind and in my prayers. Though I may have been on world’s longest Megan-blogging-hiatus, I was constantly reminded of your still-wonderful presence in my life. Hope all is going well with you and yours! Until next time,

DBF out!
