Hey guys! I haven't written a post on here in a little over a year. A TON has happened since I last updated everyone about my life, so here are the highlights:
-Once I returned home from Cape Cod, I had a month and a half of FULL TIME job searching. It sucked. I was stressed, depressed, and all around just not feeling great about myself.
-Eventually, I was hired by a local social service agency dedicated to helping seniors in the community. I work as a Case Manager which is PERFECT, because that's exactly what I went to school for. :) It feels great being able to put my degree to work for me and get a little ROI (return on investment).
-Oct. 15, 2012 is when I started this incredible new job. I'm almost coming up on my 1 yr anniversary here, so life has been wonderful. I've learned a ton and absolutely love the work I'm doing. Perfect fit!
-Ryan and I are no longer a couple. But it's okay, I promise! We're still extremely close and went back to being besties.
-In Feb. I had to get a new car. Space needed new roters, brakes, brake pads, etc., etc., and it just wasn't worth it to keep throwing money into a '99 vehicle. I ended up getting myself a silver 2010 Dodge Journey which is a large SUV. The only 2 drawbacks are that (1) it is an automatic (I prefer 5 speeds), and (2) it is only FWD. Since my job requires me to do home visits to many (most) of my clients, I am often traveling up back roads and up mountains, even in the middle of winter. I wish I had advocated more for getting a 4WD vehicle. Oh well, next time. I am proud to say that I was able to get the loan for my vehicle all on my own (didn't need a co-signer!) so now I am truly able to say 'my' car and mean it! :)
-I've been to Washington, D.C. with Ryan last year for my birthday (my first time there)! We stayed in a hostel for 7 days which ended up not having running water for 3 of those days, so we ended up having to get a hotel room about 2.5-3 days into that madness. I think we almost reached our breaking point in seeing how long we could go without showering. It was bad. BUT we were able to see all of the main highlights and tourist attractions, so it felt great to cross all of the main monuments and museums off my bucket list.
-I've been paying HARDCORE on my student loans. I crunched the numbers last night and by the end of this year if all goes well [I'll explain in my next bullet point], I'll have resolved $11,430 in my student loan debt.
-"If all goes well...." Okay, here we go. I have 3 different lenders for my student loans. My federal ones through the US Dept of Education, some through VSAC, and one through this other loan mgmt company on behalf of my college called MyCampusLoan. They are managing my Perkin's loan (instead of Champlain having to hire staff to work directly on managing every student's account). Here's the deal. There are certain circumstances in which you may be able to get your Perkin's loan forgiven. You also have to have worked at your job for a minimum of 1 year. I applied for deferment a couple months ago (because I only just found out that this might even be a possibility for me), and was approved--so right my now loan with them is not accruing interest. YAY! Before applying for deferment, my Perkin's loan was my first smaller loan I was really going after. I wanted to get that totally paid off so I could snowball my payments and put the rest of the money that was going to my Perkin's payment toward VSAC or my federal loans. But, since my Perkin's is in deferment and is not accruing interest, I'm working hard on my VSAC loans since they are still accruing interest. Anyway, once I meet my 1 year anniversary at this fantastic job, I can send in a Request for Cancellation form. I don't know if I will be approved, but I really hope so. My other hope is that they will refund me the $1800 or so I've already invested in that loan. Because I can put that towards another one of my loans. So, if all of this goes my way, I'll be $11,430 out of student loan debt by the end of Dec. 2013. GET IT.
-Ryan moved to E. Boston to continue his studies and get his Master's in Community Theater at Emerson College, so that's exciting! I can't wait until I can go down to visit and spend a few nights with him. I don't know Boston that well, but I imagine I'll be learning over the course of the next few years.
-Lastly, I'm trying once again to lose weight. Now that I have health insurance through my employer (although I'm not sure how that's going to change once the Health Care Exchange takes over Jan 1), I have successfully lost about 30 lbs since mid January of 2013. I went to Physical Therapy to have them train me in how to push myself, how to do which exercises with my body, and how to execute proper form with many of the different exercises they gave me to work on. Besides exercising and trying to be more active in general, I have almost completely done a 180 on my diet. I'm trying to stay away from processed food as much as possible, and focus more on fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, protein, etc. There are still the days when I need to stop at McD's for a breakfast or lunch, because my job often has lots of time constraints, but I'm not making that the foundation of my diet any longer. I can't wait to continue with this journey now that I have support from my PCP (primary care physician), and other local community agencies to help me reach my goals. :)
Annd...that's really about it. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few different highlights, but that's most of what has happened to me since August of 2012.
I hope I didn't bore you with all the minute details of my life for the past 13 months. There's lots of exciting stuff going on, and I love being able to share all this with you. :)
What are some of the main highlights of your life in the past year. In what ways have you grown? What can you do this year that you couldn't last year?
Happy September, everyone! Here comes the next holiday season!!

My Pores Still Work
Hi, all!
Yesterday I got my exercise in! Too bad it was 97 degrees outside, but you take what you can get I suppose.
I went on my 6 hr field trip with my Intro to Bio class I've been taking at CCV this summer. Around 9:30-10am, we arrived at our first stop. After a 15-20 min climb up a hill of about a 70 degree incline, we made it to our first site. (This was when I almost passed out about three times from my heart working too hard-just FYI.) I WAS keeping myself hydrated. That is SUPER important on a day where the heat is through the roof. However, my instructor thought that we all hiked on a regular basis or something so she went like 80 mph up the hill (that's legit-haha.) Anywho, after finally arriving and noticing my skin seep sweat everywhere, I cooled off by listening to our instructor talk for about 10 minutes. Whew. Yep, sweat is rolling down my body everywhere. Fantastic.
(Skip all the boring searches we did in the stream, our findings, and our next 45-50 min talk.) Actually-we did find a Northern Dusky Salamander which was cute, but that was about it.
Our next site after climbing back down the mountain was on the Mad River in Waitesfield. WATER. I WISH I'd had my bathing suit, because that is the most awesome swimming hole I've seen in a LONG time. Ryan-we're going. No questions. Get in the car. NOW. Hahaha. So, when we got there we ate lunch, and then talked for another 20-30 mins, THEN we got to go walk through the river. OOOOHHH it felt SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. Like, you have NO idea. Unfortunately this site was out in the open sun. And me being a redhead and all, I wasn't expecting that to go over too well. Fortunately for me though, I was smart that morning and had brought sunblock to put on before we left. As of now, I'm about three shades darker than I was pre-field trip. Awesome! I was thinking I would have had to reapply my sunblock more often than just the once in the morning because the sunblock was about a year old, and I had been sweating all morning. Yup, my pores still work okay.
Regardless, this second site was MUCH more enjoyable. No evil horseflies trying to get a chunk out of you, no 70 degree incline of a hill, and plenty of water to go around. If I hadn't been worried about getting Beth's car all wet on our ride back, I would TOES have completely submerged myself.
It was all a good time. My body still remembers how to sweat, and I made it out alive.
YAY!

Mr. Scarborough: Part 2
Copied and pasted from FaceBook! Hope you all enjoy!
First off, thanks to all of you who are interested in what's going on with Mr. Scarborough, and for all your continued support. Many of you have been SUPEREXCITED to hear how my trip to Maine went, so here's a glimpse to hopefully satisfy all of you. :)
_____ _____ _____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____
Ding! Ding! Round two! On Tuesday I took a nice, short, leisurely 3.5 hour drive to Scarborough, ME to see Mitchell (formerly Mr. Scarborough.)
Before the fact, I again woke up 2 hrs before I had scheduled myself to leave and commenced with my preparation for the day. 30 minutes to wake up and eat breakfast, 2 minutes deciding what to wear, 15 minutes in the shower, 10 minutes actually getting dressed and brushing hair and teeth (not with the same brush, mind you,) 5 minutes double checking the ingredient lists on my shamoo, lotions, and deoderant to make sure nothing contained anything coconut (Mitchell is allergic. [:(]), 3 minutes finding and applying mascara (which again doesn't happen often-but it adds that extra oomph,) 20 minutes running around gathering items to throw in a bag "just in case," 10 minutes assuring my grandmother I'll be fine and not to worry, 10 minutes at Cumby's to gas up and grab a lunch for when I got closer to Maine, 5 minutes in Kinney's grabbing MORE last-minute stuff (3 of which were spent talking to Dorothy about 3 kids that died in a car crash in our town the night before,) 1.5 minutes on the phone to let Mitchell know I'm FINALLY leaving, and 2 minutes to drive out of the parking lot and to leave Lyndonville. I'm off!
[Insert 3.5 hours of uneventful driving here with an awesome soundtrack including songs such as: According to You-Orianthi, Follow Me-3OH3!, OMG-Usher, Shots-Lil Jon, LoveGame-Lady Gaga, Just Dance-Lady Gaga, TiK ToK-Ke$ha, Blah Blah Blah-Ke$ha, Defying Gravity, Don't Stop Believing, Imagine, It's My Life/Confessions, Smile (Lily Allen), Taking Chances, 4 Minutes-All from Glee, Jumpin' Jumpin'-Destiny's Child, Say My Name-Destiny's Child, Affirmation-Savage Garden, No Scrubs-TLC.]
"278, 276, 274...oh, come on! It's gotta be here somewhere! 258, 256....oh...crap. FML!" This was my internal dialogue while trying to find Mitch's house after finally finding his road. (There are like 3 roads that are actually one, but the name changes the further along the road you get. Kind of like Newark Rd/St...whatever. LOL.) Of course, I missed it the first time by, but then I had to find a place to pull over (5 minutes down the road) to call my gram to let her know I got to Maine safely, as promised. I felt like if I pulled into Mitch's driveway and then proceeded to sit in the car on my cellphone that that may come across as sketchy and stalkerish. Not the best way to come across when first visiting someone's home. Haha.
Anywho, I turned around after I got off the phone, and drove by it-again. WTF?! Why am I SO good at finding people's houses? FINALLY I pulled in the driveway. Phew.
Now, here's where more confusion begins. There's a front door, and a door through the garage into the house. Way to make it easy for me, Mitchell. The walkway to the front door looked promising, so I decided to try that first. No response. Awesome. Way to make an ass out of myself before even getting inside. "Well, this is awkward," I muttered as I turned away to go try the garage door next. Too late. Just as I finished talking out loud to myself and turned around, there he was at the end of the walkway. Fabulous, now he probably thinks I am a mental case as well. Just wondeful. :)
BUT-now I'm not the one that appears sketchy and stalkerish. He just stood at the end of the walkway and stared at me until I figured out the other door would be a better way to get into the house. Hahaha. Nice.
Going into the garage was fun. I got to meet Winston (the Pug,) and Jacob (the auburn Golden Retriever) tied up just outside. SOOO CUTE! Inside the house was pretty fun too. It was designed to draw people to the living room/kitchen area which I found very clever. I met Lily (KITTYYYY!!!!) in the living room, and got to see the rest of the house. It was gorgeous, and spotless like Mitchell had told me before- despite 3 pets living there.
I got shown his bedroom and the computer room-the two most frequented-by-Mitchell rooms in the house (except the computer room is more so.) The Guest Bedroom (Mitchell's room) was really very sparce. Of course, it kind of has to be, incase everything falls apart some night and he's out a place to live. His bed was really squishy and comfy-and big! People that have bigger-than-a-twin-sized bed facinate me. I've slept in a twin my entire life-which doesn't really provide or promote cuddling opportunities. :(
Oh! Then I got to see an album full of pictures of Mitchell growing up and excelling in school. Mitch=adorable child. (And is now a perfect man <3). I may have to look at this album again later when I'm sitting down and am really able to focus in and study it. All in all though, I loved it.
After seeing this and two of his PUBLISHED POEMS (that's right, my man is totally awesome,) we were a little at a loss for what to do next. Mitchell showed me a few things online (including a game called Plants v. Zombies.) My mom would love it. Eventually we decided to drive to the beach.
For some reason, Mitch decided that he liked watching me drive, then teased me about how cautious a driver I was. Hey! I actually learned to, you know, STOP at stop signs in Driver's Ed, apparently unlike you crazy Maine people. Haha!
We got to drive through downtown Portland-except I didn't really know what I was doing because some lanes aren't really marked well. We made it unscathed, even if some drivers were probably like, "Stupid Out-of-Stater." LMFAO. Also, there was a sketchy homeless man that we had to avoid, so that was fun, too. Haha.
BEEEAAAACCCCHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
The ocean was beautiful. There wasn't spectacular visiblility, but the sun was out and the breeze was relatively warm (and so was Mitchell.) :)
We walked along the beach, and playfully shoved each other. We talked, we cuddled, we sat, we cuddled some more, we became a couple, we bonded. It was really fabulous. Oh yeah, we kissed too. [Insert pre-teen squealing here.] I missed being intimate with someone more than I realized. Apparently I have soft lips? I mean, I thought lips were supposed to be soft all on their own? Maybe not. If not, I guess I'm lucky. He is too. :) (For those of you who are like me and sometimes need extra prompting, that was me saying that Mitchell has soft lips, too.)
On the way back to his house, we took the highway which bypassed Portland's heavy traffic.
Maine is such an interesting state. The majority of it looks like VT, but on the trip down to the ocean, there was a section that reminded me of Burlington, a section that reminded me of the hills in San Francisco (although I've never actually been there,) and downtown Portland that reminded me of Montreal. WTF?! I mean, it's cool. But just not what I'm used to. =)
Getting back to the house after stopping to grab cheap gas at Sam's Club (whooo hoooo!!!) we only had a few minutes before his mom came home from work.
After a few minutes of mindless banter back and forth when she finally got home, Mitchell decided to make us scarce until she decompressed from work. So, we decided to go lay down for an hour. YAY! CUDDLE TIME! We just layed in each other's arms and chatted back and forth for a while until Mitchell fell asleep. He's so comfy! Mitchell now =s Megan's new favorite body pillow. =)
About an hour later, we were up. After more wonderful kissing, we went into the computer room so I could watch him play an expert game of League of Legends (abbreviated to LoL) so I could learn something. Well, I don't know how much I learned, but maybe with time and experience it will all come to me.
Mitchell's mom ended up getting a little testy because the one game went longer than originally intended, and supper was ready. So, begrudgingly he left the game, and we went to grab supper. Chicken Alfredo. YESSS!!! We joined his mom and stepdad on the screened-in back porch, and made more small talk. Dinner overall went very well. I had a hard time eating due to my untimely wisdom tooth trying to shoulder its way into my mouth, but I just took my time and ate until I was full. Overall, dinner=success.
Soon after this, Mitchell decided to go grab gas for his car at Sam's Club, so I went with. If you think MY driving is interesting, you should check HIS out. Psh. LMFAO! It's okay though, it makes for an interesting ride.
When we returned "home", I unfortunatley had to get going. It was about 7:30 at night, and I needed to be able to read my directions. After a few kisses, nuzzles, and hugs, I left. :'( (There really wasn't any crying, but it was very sad.)
Leaving is always the hardest part. Getting there is so easy because you have all this time ahead of you to do whatever you want. Next thing you know, it's time to go. When you leave, everything is uncertain. You don't know when you'll see each other next, you don't want to let the person go even though you HAVE to, and you don't want to put miles and miles of distance between the two of you. It's just sucky all around.
On the way home, I got lost by missing a turn somewhere, and ended up near Oxford, ME. Eventually I just decided to follow routes heading West and North which is where I needed to go to get home. I don't think I acutally lost much time by getting lost. Once I found Conway, NH again, I definitely knew where I was and then booked it home.
All in all? Not a bad day, not a bad day at all. Mitchell makes me very happy, and he's good TO me and FOR me. We're both in this relationship for the long haul, so who knows where we'll end up. For now, I'm just along for the ride. And as long as there are no other cars at an intersection, who really needs to stop? <3

Ashley
Hello, everyone!
This post is just to inform you that tomorrow I am embarking on a journey to a place I've never been before. Cape Cod. Whoa.
While I'm down there I'm going to visit the fabulous woman named Ashley (and her family!) Really pumped.
It may be a few days more before I actually have a new post of any substance. Check back in a few days!

P.S. Wish me a safe trip!

RYAN GOT HIS LICENSE!!!
...and that's about it. I have nothing new to report other than that I opened an account on Zoosk.com. :)
Oh, and the big ugly orange cement block by my high school? Yeah, someone left a tv on it last night when I drove by at about 10pm.
Oh well. I'll keep you posted if anything else new/interesting/exciting happens.
Much love!

I Know What You're Thinking
WHERE has she been? WTF, I want another post!
Well, ladies and gents. I have been busy. I have almost successfully navigated my way through the Fall 2009 semester. One more exam in about 45 mins and then it'll hopefully be just about done and over with...
GIFT EXCHANGE is tonight! I'm still working on the most EXCELLENT Christmas present for Ryan. It won't be done in time for tonight, but apparently we've both created gifts for one another that is going to make both of us sob uncontrollably. Can't wait! Oh! Spyro is almost done!!!! Hahahaha. We haven't totally "beat" the game yet, because we have to go back through all the other levels and collect ALL the gems in order to get into the final level. But we're definitely working on it.
Speaking of gifts, I can't wait for Velvet to open hers. It's mostly a gag gift, but it is also something she will hopefully find useful, and that will make her laugh, giggle, or at least smile once every morning. :)
Finals are overall going extremely well so far. Is it bad to phrase this line like this: "I wonder how many A's I have?" Hahaha. I feel like I did really well this semester in despite of all the crap that happened.
Ugh. But, I've almost made it.
Ryan, Joe, Ashley, Velvet, (maybe Jess?), and I are going to have our last fantastic night in 308 maple tonight. Send us your best!
xoxo
Love,
Megan
P.S. My ex-supervisor is AWESOME. This is a shoutout to Meg, who offered to let Ryan and I borrow her vehicle for transporting college kid stuff from Jeanne Mance to 308. Meg Ryan (our combined stage name) thanks you!!!!!

Velvet Visits Vermont
This weekend, I took Velvet home with me to the boonies of VT.
We drove everywhere, including Littleton, NH (tax-free state!!!), and even up around Willoughby Lake. It would have been perfect if the rain had disappeared.
But at least most of our leaves are starting to have turned, and we have lots of yellows, reds, and oranges up my way. Can't wait to get into the full swing of fall. :D
Weight Watchers has pretty much gone out the window since Thursday, and I'll have to jump back on the bandwagon starting tomorrow. Velvet and I made another PIE for my family--and it looks fantastic. MMMMMmmmmmmmmmm.....pie.
Being home has been nice (I got to drive my mom's standard again...yay!!!!!), but I can't wait to get back to Burlington and the dorm life. Growing up as an only child has been great, but I'm used to the hustle and bustle of the dorm life with people running and stomping up and down stairs at all hours of the night and day. I kind of miss that. :(
I will keep everyone posted when I get back to Burlington bright and early tomorrow morning!
Chin up, kiddos. The rain won't be here forever. :)
