1. How much I love my boyfriend. And that's weird for me. I have never been the relationship type and I definitely have never liked commitment but every day I get a little more comfortable and I find myself wondering why I spent so long running from this.
2. I miss my mom. We had a rocky relationship but I spend every day wishing I had one more with her. I'm living a pretty surreal life right now. Life goes on and you find a routine and a new "normal" but it never seems quite right again. Sometimes you wanna cry but you can't because everyone expects you to just be okay by now. You aren't though. I don't know if you ever are again...
3. I need to get in shape. I tell myself over and over again that I'm gonna start running, eating right but I don't and I hate myself for it.
4. Just how much my life has changed in the past year. A year ago I wouldn't have left my house unless getting messed up was an option and I couldn't actually have a "fun night" with less than a bottle (or a few lines depending on my drug of choice for the night). These days my most fun nights are spent playing board games or watching sports. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
5. Finances. How do I get there from here? I have goals and plans and ideas but I just don't always see the way out. Learning to trust God in this area is not the easiest thing.
6. All things Redemption. Set lists for worship. Lesson plans for RED kidz. Ideas for the tween ministry, Sparkle. Seriously at work some days I get completely lost in ideas and planning! Too excited about what God is doing in and through the church for the city of LaVergne.
7. The future in general. My future husband, kids, job. Will I actually go back to school? Will I keep the promises I made to my friends? Will I make a difference? And on and on and on it goes...

8 ways to win my heart.
1. Don't be a pushover. If you always let me win I'm going to get bored real quick. So argue with me but don't put me down to prove your point. That wont get you anywhere either.
2. Love sports and talk sports with me. I may be a girl but I love them too.
3. Take pictures with me. All the time. Especially in those cheesy booths at the movies and the mall. I sincerely love those things!
4. Brush my hair out of my face gently when you're talking to me. Kiss me on the forehead and the tip of the nose. It's the simple touches that melt my heart.
5. Compliment me. Even when I argue and tell you you're a liar. I need to be reminded more than most that you care.
6. Make ridiculous future plans with me. Sometimes I like to plan things like trips to Cedar Point and moving to Boston. Let me dream.
7. Get to know me. Like really know me. I absolutely melt when someone can notice a mannerism about myself that most people don't.
8. Love God and love my church family. A man after God's heart is the only kind of man for me.

9 things about Meags
1. I love nicknames. I love to give them and I love being called by
them. Meags was a "party name" but I can't help but smile when certain
people still call me that.
2. I am a Christian and in fact VERY involved as leadership in my church but I am also open about my struggles with addiction and co-dependency.
3. I love photography and want to own my own business one day.
4. I am considering going back to school for Addiction and Recovery Psychology.
5. I am a black belt in TKD and I constantly want to get back into it. Also, I've always wanted to run a 5K but I lack the motivation.
6. I sing for the worship team at my church. I love it because I love to sing but I lack the confidence to really lead.
7. I do have a favorite flower, it's the daffodil. But I don't like flowers much at all. I once told my boyfriend I would punch him if he ever bought me flowers. I just think they're a general waste of money.
8. My favorite thing about having black hair is that I can wear ridiculously bright colored lipstick now!
9. I'm a sports fan. I love Boston (Red Sox, Celtics & Bruins). I love New England Patriots. And I love Auburn. Best. Teams. Ever.

I'm back with 10 things I want to say to 10 people.
Well it's been quite awhile since I blogged, at least for the public and I miss it. Saying that, I'm a little rusty and don't know where I want to go with my blogs now. Especially since my entire attitude towards life is quite different than it used to be. While I'm still all about having fun, I find my joy in sunday evenings teaching kids and bonfires than with a bottle of tequila anymore. So I'm gonna redo a session of blogs I did just about exactly three years ago. I did it in 10 days last time so we'll see how this goes. :)
10 things you want to say to 10 people:
1: I miss you. Every day. I spend most moments hoping you're proud of me now. They say hindsight is 20/20 and I don't think that's exactly true but I definely she good times a lot more clearly than the bad now. I wish I had never taken a moment for granted but I can't keep living in my regrets. I love you and just truly hope you knew that.
2: I honestly do love you and that scares me. A lot. You opened me up to a future I never dreamed of and quite honestly I never wanted but the longer I spend with you the more I can't imagine why I wouldn't...
3: You have been the best friend I've ever had. That being said you've been the most difficult person I've ever met. I have fought very hard to keep you in my life and to stay a part of yours and who knows if that is for the best or not but I can't stop trying. I want so badly to see you happy and I know you think you know whats going to make you happy but I know that you need so much more and I hope you find it.
4: I have spent half the time I've known you hating you and half the time I've known you thinking you were my best friend. And the truth is both are fair because you are two faced. Completely. You are a selfish girl who is only out to serve herself and that's extremely sad because you life under the banner that you're a christian.
5: You and your family have been an absolute blessing to me. You have helped me grow daily and learn to love and serve God in a way I didn't understand. I hope you know I believe in you and your vision. God is going to use you, he already has and you're right we're gonna ROCK THIS CITY.
6: I think you're changing right now and I hope I'm right. You have such a broken spirit. You need to learn to respect yourself because you are a child of God and a beautiful woman who deserves respect and not to be treated the way you have let these jerks treat you!!
7: We've had our ups and downs and ins and outs but you are like familiy and I'm so glad that despite lots of time apart and stupid fights we always end up close again.
8: You have been absolutely amazing since I lost my mom. You've treated me like a daughter and I'm so thankful for your kind words.
9: I am so much more thankful for the time I get to spend with you. Whether it is watching movies or the drive to work. I love you so so much. Thank you for being all that you are.
10: After being my best friend for years we lost touch when I lost myself. We don't get to talk as much as I'd like but I'm so so glad I've gotten to get to know you and your family again. I love you girl.
