Oh how life likes to throw fast balls my way!
Last Friday, I was heading to school on south bound I 15. I had a not wanted to go to school that morning, because I was tired and didn't feel like doing the things we had going on that day, but I went anyways. So I'm heading down the free way and all of a sudden I feel like I've hit a bumpy patch of road, but it didn't stop. Then, I started to smell rubber... Yeah my back right tire blew!!! My dad had seen a screw in it earlier and said he would get it fixed soon. Well apparently my tire had lost so much air in it that it began to scrape against something (I don't know car lingo) and my tire was ripped apart where the screw had been (He felt bad and said he would pay to get it fixed). So I'm on the side of the free way calling my mom. She said to call 911 and ask for highway patrol or emergency management. I didn't think it was such a big deal because moms freak out about their children all the time but apparently it was. I waited for nearly 45 minutes for the high way patrol to come to my rescue because my mom, dad, and brother were all at work. While sitting in the car, with the cars rushing past me and my car jerking back and forth, my mom texted me to say a prayer(cute, right?). Well I'm alive and my car is fixed so I would say that's a prayer well answered. Anyways, once the officer came he asked me if I'd ever changed a tire before. ummmm no.... hahaha Well he taught me and had me change the tire. He escorted me from behind (with his lights on!) to the next exit and I then took the back roads to beck street, back to North Salt Lake and, then back to Woods Cross because I couldn't go over 45 mph on my spare tire. I was all tuckered out from that experience so I didn't go to school that day, I went home and SLEPT!! I was stranded on the free way for about 45 minutes and the whole ordeal took about 2 hours driving to, then the blown tire, and THEN driving home. I'd say I deserved a day to myself ^_^

Mono, UGH!
Well I kind of forgot something important, in my last blog, that has been affecting me greatly these past few weeks. MONO! And no I didn't get it from kissing anyone as you could tell from my previous blog that was mostly about my love life dream hahaha. I have to be at school 40 hours a week and it is so hard! I am tired ALL the time, or I'm achy and don't feel good. So I have been missing a lot of school which means I have a lot of hours to make up. From my research about mono, 90% of the population has it! Some people have no symptoms of it at all or got it when they were babies and was passed off as the common flu. You also have it the rest of your life but I'm not sure how long I'm contagious because I've heard from multiple people that it might be a few weeks it or for the rest of your life. But I don't know, if anyone does know, let ME know!!
On the 28th of July, I noticed a large white canker sore looking thing on my soft palate near my throat. It hurt really bad but other than that I felt fine. I went to Dr.Copes office to see Dr.Christian and he said it was a virus or some kind, not strep. So I went home but then two days later I started feeling worse. I had body aches, fatigue, stomach aches, nausea, head aches, the mysterious canker sore the size of a pea, hot rashes on my body that would turn to welts, small little bruises called petechiae, and HUGE swollen lymph nodes. I went back to the Dr and he said it might be mono. Mono? Mono!?! No I don't get mono, everyone else in junior high got mono but not me and not now. Not while I'm going to school 40 hours a week! Well I got the blood test results and SURPRISE, it's mono.... I didn't want to take a steroid and so I took some herbal supplements that did help for a week but then I stopped using them and since I was feeling better I wasn't really taking it easy and now I've kind of relapsed and I'm taking those herbal supplements...again.

Long time since last post....sorry...
Well I had no idea that anyone really was reading my blog so I haven't been writing. Recently a good friend of mine Ashley Easton asked me "Megan! Why aren't you keeping up on your blog?". So I guess I'll just kind of sum up what has happened since my last post on my birthday, almost 5 months ago!!!!
So, as I have said before, I am going to school to become an aesthetician and it's been a bumpy road. I LOVE what I do, and learning about the skin and how I can help others with their skin care needs, but it is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard going to school with a ton of girls from all back grounds and ages. It has been an eye opener of the real world, and how unethical this world really is. Details are a little too personal and not for this kind of setting to explain into detail but I can tell you that it leaves me dumb founded... other than that, I am loving the industry and am surprised by how many people want my "professional opinion" regarding their skin or skin in general. So I will leave you with a little tip each blog of what you can do for your skin.
**Benzoyl Peroxide, Salicylic Acid, and Sulfur are good ingredients for acne. There are others but those seem to work the best for people.
Back to life out side of school.....ummmm.......I have no life out of school!!! No boys, no dating, no hanging out a lot, no nothing just enjoying my weekends off from school, watching movies and reading Lord of the Ring; The Fellowship. Pretty pathetic I know, but it's okay. I'm only 19 and everyone seems to be getting married these days anyways, so I can wait; as long as all the good guys aren't taken!!!! hahaha jk, but it sure does feel that way sometimes.
Speaking of good guys, I had an AMAZING dream last night. It was the man of my dreams and he was seriously like MY Edward Cullen. I know, kind of a little nerdy girl fantasy but it was so romantic! It was on the beach, and he sped to me on a white horse so eager to get to me at last (I guess we hadn't seen each other for a while) We got married, but I don't remember that part (funny how dreams skip around), and then it was just the two of us (don't worry it was PG-13 people!). We gave each other the biggest hugs we had ever given someone and I started crying because I had finally found him. Someone to spend the rest of my life and all of eternity with, my other half, my soul mate...(tear). I felt like he was too good for me, and asked why had he chosen to marry me with so many other beautiful eligible girls out there but he then reassured me, with a tease and a smirk on his face for thinking such things, that I was the only girl for him and to not think such ridiculous thoughts. **(I know that there are no such things as soul mates and that we become our spouses soul mates over time but it felt like we were soul mates before we were even married!)**
(ANYWAYS,Back to the dream) He was all mine and I truly felt that I LOVED this guy and he completely and irrevocably loved me! It wasn't like a silly high school crush/boyfriend that I was in "like" with, it really felt like love... something that I have never really felt before and the excitement of just being with him was nothing I have felt before! And I'm not sure who the guy was either, his face was kind of blurred out like the people on cops hahahaha anyways, it SUCKED waking up that's for sure. Pretty pathetic I know, it's like my love life is in my dreams! So sad, but I hope one day I can feel like that for someone in REAL LIFE! I guess dreams like this are just motivation to keep my hope alive that there are still some good guys left out there who will make me feel the way I felt in this dream....It was so amazing, have you ever had a dream like this that you were so sad to wake up from? I'd love to hear that I'm not the only pathetic, hopeless romantic out there....
