i believe in miracles

^^that is the title of a sick song by Norwegian Recycling, for all you MJ fans out there. thanks for showing it to me evelyn! you can listen to it here.
In other news... guess what?! 
You're looking at a chorus girl in the musical!! 
At first I was wishing that I got a bigger part, but I'm just glad I can be a part of it and I'm happy that I won't have as big of a commitment but just as many ounces of fun. ;) The first meeting/read-through with the cast is tomorrow, it's becoming real!


When I came home from school today, my mom says: "Oh, you got a letter in the mail from your brother". Odd, he's never sent me mail before. I cut up a pear, turned on some chill tunes, and sat at my kitchen table ready to open it. I haven't talked to this long-lost brother of mine for a couple of weeks now and with the business of life haven't even had time to miss him. As soon as I started reading it, I heard his voice in my head and all the emotions of him leaving came back. I remembered Coss, my amazing big brother. I started tearing up after the first sentence! He was so incredibly encouraging and honest and he opened up to me a side of him I've never been able to understand. All the things a girl needs to hear from her brother, he told me. I felt so loved and not forgotten, but also had an ache in my heart because I realized once again that we're apart! And I'm going to have to get used to seeing him twice a month instead of every day. But at least I have confidence now that our relationship will never disintegrate just because we live in different cities - he will always be my big brother, no matter how old and independent and "mature" we become!


I love you Nathan, you are better than any brother I could ever hope for, and I apologize for not showing you how much I appreciate you!

We went to Nate's graduation ceremony before thanksgiving.
Mom attempted to edit the picture nicely but made it blue instead haha... 

Other than that lovely surprise, I have my G2 road test tomorrow.. eek. I'm excited/slightly anxious/trying to trust that God's in control! Maybe He doesn't want me to drive by myself yet or maybe He does, I just gotta be content with whatever He decides. However, it would make life a lot easier... :)

Wow, it's been an eventful couple of weeks! there's not usually this much stuff going on! But yeah. it's way past my 'bedtime' so I better hit the hay.
enjoy the rest of this beautiful autumn week!

take-a take-a chance chance

What's the sitch? 
(and since when was it okay to wear half shirts ?) 

hmm...

I've had 4 four/three-day weeks in a row! So great. 

Tomorrow I'm doing something crazyy - auditioning for the school musicale! Who knew Meagan could sing?! Yeah, me neither. I can keep a tune, but you would not want to hear me belting out a solo - unless you enjoy the sound of dying cats or boys going through puberty... everyone's different though.. But yeah, it's a fairytale type play which means if I get a part I get to wear princess-ey dresses! Not gonna lie, that was one of the major deal breakers. So I'm gonna be singing "Part of Your World" from the Little Mermaid, and acting a scene as this pompous Queen - it will definitely be unforgettable!! I'm excited though cause a lot of my good friends are doing it too, it will be fun. :)

well minus that peculiar pillow on her head 

This friday I'm jetting off - erm, well driving off - to Boston for their teen-led conference! I did not expect I'd be able to go at all, but I guess God worked it all out. It will be great seeing everyone and seeing all my friends up at the podium preachin, singin, dancin, and leadin this whole shindig! I'm especially looking forward to a young man sharing at the girls purity talk, I hope I get to sit beside Shannon Robbinss ;) hehe. 

A week tomorrow is my G2 ROAD TEST! That means that if I pass, I get to drive all by my lonesome - that much closer to sweet freedom. Let's hope I make it out of there with a smiling face, and without any dents on my dad's car! 

no that's not me, you racist. 

Other than that, just living life, trying to surrender and trust God on the daily, drinking hot chocolate, doing homework, and trying to stay warm and cozy as the heat is slowly escaping, but that's okay I like fuzzy sweaters and sleeping with big covers. :)

off to midweek, i'll fill you in on how the audition goes :S !
