Some Valentines Fun

This year I decided to make some cards for Valentines Day. I really think I could get into this card making stuff. Just as much fun as scrapbooking, but infinitely less time consuming.

My favorite card

And a couple of weeks before I made these, this showed up at my door one morning.

I couldn't get a good picture, but it says, "Hope you know that you are loved!"

It made my day. And on Valentines Day, I got a card and a rose from my friend Jenessa Halliday.

Don't mind the messy room in the background.

When I Get Really Bored

English 295 note paper (on which is written notes for a creative writing story).  Yes, this is a cat on the sidewalk in front of a house.

My teacher probably gets mad, because he can see what I'm doing.

A Christmas Note

Have a happy Christmas, everyone!

When I Need A Lift

Sometimes it feels really good to know that someone's got you on their mind, especially when you've had a bad/mediocre week.  Whoever sends me these considerably brightens my life when I need it.

The Mystery Giver

I really like when this person leaves me things.  My mom found this on our doorstep a few days ago, and  it made me really happy.  When there are weeks as miserable as this one, it seems that the treats show up, and it makes me feel better, because I know that someone's going to be leaving me yummy things on my doorstep or car window.

Birthday Treats

It's been a long time since I've written compared to my usual number of posts each month, but I just haven't felt like writing, and when I have, I've been in too much pain to really want to move over to my computer, so I just go to sleep.  However, I thought that I'd post some of the pictures from my birthday.

Each year I just have a small party with family and a couple close friends, which usually means just Megan on the friends side.  This year Shy came over to visit with her boyfriend for a little while.  Still, I was my same old keep it small and close self.  The only different thing was that my dad bought those candles that just keep relighting themselves.  It probably took me a minute to get them all officially blown out.

And at the next morning I found the card, candy, and a balloon on my car.

Another Note

The nice note leaver has struck again!  Yesterday I hadn't been feeling very well due to a reaction to a flu vaccination earlier in the week, and so I had decided not to go to the temple and get everyone sick.  After I'd taken some cold medicine and let it take effect, I decided that I needed to go get myself something to eat.  When I went out to my car this note was left on my windshield (it was a little less melted than it now looks):

Once again, it made my day.  Really, I don't know who it is that's doing this, but it is sweet.  It feels good to know someone cares, you know?

The Sweetest Thing

Yesterday was particularly uplifting.  The night before I had gone to a movie night, and even though it was fun, I left in a somewhat terrible mood.  I was upset, and I couldn't figure out why.  In the morning I didn't even make a point to get out of bed before ten, which is a particularly daunting thing when looked at closely (I haven't been in that bad of a mood in weeks).  Sunday, however, was just what I needed.  The lessons were fantastic at church, and then there was the CES fireside with the apostle Richard G. Scott.

The entire speech was on happiness in dating and marriage, and what builds the foundations for a happy marriage and family.  Between all the laughter at different comments made throughout the course of the evening, there were a lot of enlightening things said.  The beauty of the lot of it was that I had just told Carianne Hirano what I was looking for the second time around in a guy, and that Elder Scott reaffirmed my decision.

One of the best things he told guys was to have a little ingenuity when it came to dates, and that men should show the woman they love that they love her by telling her, and by doing the little things such as writing a note of encouragement or giving her flowers.  The reason I bring this up is because this morning this showed up on my car window:

I had to put two pictures of the flowers up on here; I couldn't help it.  They're really pretty.  

I don't know who these are from and I don't know why he/she did it, but it is the nicest thing anyone has done for me in a long time.  It made my day at 7:30 this morning, and it has kept me happy thinking about it all day.
