My Heart

So…I know I’ve slacked off my blogging lately but mainly I don’t want to jinx life or talk about something that’s not permanent!  I know that’s vague and what in life is permanent besides change anyways….right?  I’ve been working like normal and really enjoying these last couple weeks of the summer before my Fall semester starts next week and Fall (the season) sets in.  I'll be posting DIY and decorating post in the coming months because I have a blank canvas project going on and I am having so much fun with it. (more to come...promise)  I also am going to really try to take more pictures of what's happening in my life lately because I really want to be able to look back on this wonderful time.

 

If you’ve been around the past couple of posts or maybe just the past one you noticed maybe a few “we” comments and a new face in my pictures well…that’s Hendrik…and I’m elated to be able to call him my boyfriend after knowing each other for years, being very close friends for over 7 years, and always knowing there was something more between us but the timing was never right.  Well folks the time is perfect and now that we've taken our friendship to the next level everything feels in place.  I haven't been this happy in maybe forever and I feel like I can be my complete self in front of him.  I've never had a friendship as close as ours and then it be taken to a romantic level it was always a meet then it just happens type of thing or just an acquaintance turned into romantic interest.  I can definitely tell the difference because we have a rock solid foundation with years of knowledge about each other.  We are enjoying learning new things that we never knew about each other on the friend level.  I know that he has always been my best friend and now that is even more evident. I know that no matter what he will always be a solid rock in my life and has my best interests at heart.

Back in July at the 6th annual hydro stream shootout

I'm not going to keep going on and on because believe me I could but I want to scream about this from the roof tops but I am hesitant to do so because I really don't want anything to happen to mess this up or have me eating crow. LOL  I guess it doesn't really matter either way because I'm happy and having so much fun right now.  

Stay tuned.....

Where's Megan been...&

What's Megan been up to....well I was giving blogging a break for a while as I got my personal life in order and frankly I've been busy busy busy having so much fun...just loving and living.

• Tomorrow morning I take my forecasting test and turn in my project so that marks me one more semester down for a couple weeks anyways until Fall starts on the 26th. 
• All of July was celebrated with boat rides, tan hides, and water (slides) not really just water in general but it rhymed. LOL
• August has started out with pool time at mom's with Hercules floating with me, Mom, and Monica, movie nights, getting some blonde back in my tiring (RED) hair and shopping in Tyler all day yesterday.  I love cruising Fresh.  We tried a hibachi restaurant called Yamato.  I had never ate hibachi before and I really enjoyed it.  These types of restaurant would be great for birthday parties and stuff since it has sort of an amped up vibe!

Book Review: The Lost Girls: Three Friends. Four Continents. One Unconventional Detour Around the World

OMG! OMG! OMG! I can NOT say enough about this book.  Amazing, adventurous, brave, and travel are all words that come to mind.  This book is something I would love to do.  It's based on 3 women's journey of a one year travel pact all over the world where they learn about themselves and each other.  This book is a yummier version of Eat. Pray. Love and way more interesting in my opinion.  I loved it....if you haven't read it then GO NOW!  Your missing out!

 

 

Amazon Synopsis:

Three friends, each on the brink of a quarter-life crisis, make a pact to quit their high pressure New York City media jobs and leave behind their friends, boyfriends, and everything familiar to embark on a year-long backpacking adventure around the world in The Lost Girls.

Jennifer Baggett, Holly Corbett, Amanda Pressner...The Lost Girls

Happy reading...and after this HAPPY TRAVELING!

Book Review: The Blackmail Club

 

I had started this book before I went on vacation and finished it my first couple days in Mexico.  It was yet again a cheap Amazon find and I couldn't be more pleased.  As everyone knows I love my action packed adventure/mystery books and this book had everything.  If you want an easy but really good read then check this out.  

Amazon Synopsis:
Washington, D.C., is a town full of powerful people hiding ugly secrets. The blackmailer, a renaissance man, keeps his promise: pay me, I'll return the juicy evidence I have against you, and you'll never hear from me again. Jack McCall, a former operative for the U.S. intelligence community and now a private investigator hunts this wily and diabolical madman. His victims, having paid and not been further extorted, are reticent to admit ever having been blackmailed. McCall's efforts to solve the case are assisted by Nora Burke, his sexy assistant who also helps Jack recover from the loss of his wife, and Max Logan, a retired detective of Irish-Scottish parentage. Chock full of colorful characters from the worlds of politics, art, and the media, The Blackmail Club is a cerebral, physical and sexy five-course gourmet meal of mystery. Sit back and fasten your seatbelt, relax, and be entertained while you try to fit together the final pieces before you turn the final pages.

I'm currently reading Inferno by Dan Brown.  When I was shopping Amazon for more books I saw this one and thought I'd give it a try.

 

I'm not really to the meat of this book yet but I figured I would give it a go because I read the DaVinci Code and OMG it was awesome even though it was like 900 pages. LOL  I also read Dan Brown's, Lost Symbol which was good but not as good as DaVinci Code.  I will let ya'll know how the latest adventures of Robert Langdon turn out.

Happy Reading

Book Review: Vamire Diaries: Unseen

I've had several book reviews hanging out in my drafts folder for a month and a half now and thought it was about time I let you in on the scoop. LOL  My first one is part of the Vampire Diary books by L.J. Smith and I just love these.  This is the newest book from the long series and I sped through it in Mexico like it was nothing.

Amazon Synopsis:

Soon, she and Stefan are battling a vicious Old One who is always just out of their reach. And when Damon and Katherine are confronted with a strange and mysterious enemy, Elena worries the attacks are linked.As dark forces close in, Elena, Stefan, and Damon struggle to survive the only way they know how together. But their lives are hanging in the balance, and every moment they share could be their last...

 

The next L.J. Smith The Vampire Diairies Salvation Trilogy is Unspoken coming to the Amazon closests to you around October...(I think)

I can't wait... these books get me so sucked in and they are such easy reads I read them in a day or two.  Although they carry the name as the TV show and spawned that awesome piece of viewing pleasure they go in a totally different direction and I love it.

 

Happy Reading...don't get bit!
