New Blog

Hey Guys,

I'm using a new blog for real this time. It's meganleewallace.blogspot.com

You should read about my life there.

PostSecret

This is the saddest secret that I've seen in awhile...also, very sweet.

Top Ten most desired careers

The other night Sam brought up the fact that she has a top ten list for careers she wants....This is mine in no particular order:

1. Hair Stylist
2. Cake Decorator
3. Chef at a fancy restaurant (or on the Food Network)
4. Model (I'm aware that they probably wouldn't take me...it's cool)
5. Cruise Director
6. Massage Therapist
7. Bartender
8. Wedding Planner
9. Missionary
10. Nurse

Very random list...I know. I especially like the coexistence of numbers 7 and 9

new blog

I think I'm going to try out a new blog

It's been a long time since I posted

Postive things in my life:
So, it's been so long since I wrote in here that you don't know (if you stalk me and aren't a real friend):
+I'm engaged
+I get my engagement ring back after 2 weeks of repair today
+I went on a the fall retreat this weekend and had a surprisingly great time
+I am starting to really enjoy the leadership team of my chapter
+Troy's mom got me the best scarf ever

+I got to bake a cake with Emily yesterday and it was awesomely delicous.
+I get to see Laura Lund, Laura Lego and Troy often
+Sara Dundon and Maryn Ewasyshyn

Negative things in my life:

-Troy's birthday was exactly a week ago and I am celebrating it with him today, I don't like what I'm giving him.
-I have these crazy rashes all over my body and I don't what they're from or how to stop them
-I really miss my family and I want to see my niece really bad. As well as others.
-I only get to see Laura Lund, Laura Lego and Troy often...nobody else...which is very sad.
-I miss Sam, Faren and Steph
-I have no cell phone
-I was sick and am lacking in money because of it.
-planning a wedding is stressful

My life at LT

Hi!

So, LT is entirely different from last year. It's been somewhat hard being here...I won't go into the details...

I have a job as a waitress by a pool at a Marriott Hotel here. It's pretty sweet money and I work with really fun people. Steph and Faren work with me. It's a lot of fun to go to work together all the time.

I dyed my hair...and it turned black. I'm not kidding. It was supposed to be dark brown...nope! It's kinda sad and humorous all at the same time.

YAY!

Ducks need lovin' too, durn it!

For our date last night, Troy and I went and fed bread to duckies on campus...

I enjoyed it...I would say we fed a good 7 ducks or so.

This feels really weird

Hi Friends...

So, I started packing to move out yesterday...It sounds weird because I don't move into my apartment with Laura Lego until July 27th but the last day of LT is July 26th so I only have a few weeks before I need to be all packed up. It's kind of crazy.

While, I am really really excited and ready to move out, it's kinda sad at the same time. I am going to miss the little interaction that I do actually have with my parents while living here. Let's be honest...I'm freakin' out a bit.

2 Posts in one day...yay!

So, Sarah Mac sent out an e-mail with this stuff in it...and because I'm bored, procrastinating and don't feel good I'm going to do it.

My life is boring

So, I never feel like I have anything to update you all on...I have kind of a boring life right now.

Last week I was a major biatch! This week I am not...this is a good thing.

I got to go to Ann Arbor this weekend and visit my friends which made me really happy...it was just a much needed trip and I really enjoyed going with justin and steph. They're good people...it was a lot of fun to spend some time at New Life (Riverview's sister church in Ann Arbor). I really like that church and the city. I think I would move there in a heart beat as weird as it sounds.

I still like my job at the Kellogg Center.

I still have been having an extremely difficult time with support raising. If you are reading this and you believe in a prayer, will you please pray for me? I still have a whole lot of money to raise and not a lot of time to do it and not a lot of people to talk to. I have anxiety about the whole situation...I really don't want to have anxiety and want to trust God...but, I do struggle with it.

I leave for LT in exactly 32 days...which means that I move out of my parents home for good in 32 days. Because I move into my apartment the day after I come back from LT.

I am excited about my summer and really excited about the lives of people around me :)

She's funny

So, last week we were down in Florida for Spring Break with Epic.

While we were there our group went to Busch Gardens where I got this done :

I know, it's amazing, isn't it?

Free's youngest child, Kaela (2) kept saying, "She's so funny" whenever she'd see my face. It made me feel good :)

Isn't it just a little bit sad that it was the highlight of my spring break?

I'm hungry for cake

::mood:: cake
::iTunes:: what this post is all about

Noel did this thing on his blog and now I'm doing it. Yes, I'm a follower.

Basically, the task is to turn on my i-pod and put in on shuffle and see what the first 10 songs that come on are. I don't know why this appealed to me.

My prediction is that Norah Jones, Sherwood, Hillsong and Sufjan Stevens will all come up at least once.

1. Keep on the Sunny Side- O Brother, Where art thou? soundtrack
2. In this Temple as in the hearts of man for Whom He Saved the Earth- Sufjan Stevens
3. Runaway- Cartel
4. Ain't No Mountain High Enough- Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
5. Humble Me- Norah Jones
6. Just Got Paid- *NSYNC
7. To the Workers of the Rock River Valley Region...- Sufjan Stevens
8. Over My Head (Cable Car)- The Fray
9. Look After You- The Fray
10. Hitchin' A Ride- Vanity Fare

So, half of my predictions were correct. And I'm a little disappointed with this list :( Man, I need better music!

NOOOO It are my birthday!

::mood:: excellent but tired
::iTunes:: Addicted by Kelly Clarkson

Troy just showed me this website that I love! It's called www.icanhascheezburger.com. It's picture of animals (mainly cats) with funny sayings/captions. I enjoy it very much. Here are some good ones:

Blogs

Blogs are weird. I was just thinking about the concept of blogging. It's really bizarre that we basically write in a diary for all to see. Nevertheless, I will keep doing it.

So, I really like my job at the Kellogg Center...it's been pretty fantastic thus far. It'll be nice to have money to do things with. Important things...not silly things.

This weekend I have MTD training for my internship with GCM. We're supposed to have 100 names/addresses and phone numbers when we go...and I hope have 77...plus, some of them aren't very strong contacts...they probably won't give anything. But, ya know what? That's okay! I'm going to be able raise my full support if I'm obedient and follow God's plans for my support raising. That's all.

I really like the Wii...I think it's a blast. I especially like boxing...I don't know, it's something about being able to virtually kick the crap out of an made up character that makes me feel so darn good :) It's similar to racket ball in the sense that it's good for stress relief.

Laura and I move into our apartment on July 27th...the day after I get back from LT. Convenient, huh? And it wasn't even planned! YAY!

I made the top 5!

::mood:: just good
::iTunes:: A Praise Chorus by Jimmy Eat World

Last night I went to church with my mom and we met up with some people there. Guess who I got to see?!?!?! TONY!!!!!!!!!! I was basically amazing. I've missed him a lot and when he leaves I totally will not be able to avoid crying my eyes out!

But, we did hang out last night with Brenton and Sam and we had a great time. We made up a new voice mail message for brenton's phone and it was actually a lot of fun.

BUT! Tony told me that I was easily on his Top 5 list of funniest girls. Isn't that great? Sam is too! I have to tell you that it made me feel great.

Church was on homosexuality last night and I thought that I wouldn't really get much out of it...but, it was my favorite message that I've heard within the past 1/2 year or so. I loved church last night. YAY Jesus!

I'm basically a rockstar!

So, my life is looking up right now...

I've been really depressed since September or so and sometimes I just want to sleep...it's sad. I feel like I'm not the same person anymore.

I'm excited that I'm not going to school this semester, it is already making me feel a million times happier. I really believe that college (at least for this semester) is not in God's will for me. I am happy serving and trying to grow more and it's nice to not cry every single day about school.

I think I really am going to like my job at the Kellogg Center and I really hope that I'll get to work with Steph a lot. We'll see...I'm just a little afraid of dropping a huge tray onto a customer's head and hurting them...those trays are much heavier than the trays that I've dealt with in the past as a server.

So, Laura Lego and I went to go look at some apartments today and we're really freakin excited because we are going in on Tuesday to sign the lease. YAY!! AND I don't have any financial commitment until July! YAY! Rockin'! She's going to be sweet as a roommate.

If you're wondering why my title is "I'm basically a rockstar," it's because I played rock band tonight and did some vocals action and it totally kicked badonkadonk!

Sometimes I feel so lame!

::mood:: fragile
::iTunes:: What the World Will Never Take

So, I got the job at the Kellogg Center! YAY! I can't tell you how huge of a blessing that is.

Last night, I felt so incredibly fragile...it was ridiculous. I was with Troy and tears just started welling up in my eyes...it was awful. I guess I knew where they were coming from, but I don't know why it made me cry. Poor Troy...

I'm getting over being sick and I like feeling healthy again :) On my list of things to do in 2008 I said that I was going to run a 5K...so, I think I'm going to start running and sorta training for that.

I saw Juno on Friday with Troy and the Davenport's. I liked it. I was just a little disappointed though, because I feel like everyone talks about how great it is and I just thought it was sort of great.

I also saw 27 Dresses with Laura Lund, Amanda and her friend, Keri this weekend. I actually liked it. I thought it was cute. That's all.

This is going to be a good year, I hope!

I'm just really tired

::mood:: drained
::iTunes:: Home by Sherwood

I'm in one of those periods in my life when I just feel exhausted...it's not because of lack of sleep. I think it may be because I haven't had much good sleep in a long time...but, my soul just feels really really tired. I want to want to read my bible...but, every time I pick it up, I just feel like sleeping instead. I wish it would change.

Really good news though! I have an interview tomorrow at the Kellogg Center doing banquets and I'm pretty sure that I'll get it. Then, I work with one of my best friends, Steph!!! I'm really really excited about that...simply because, it'll be a paycheck and because I'll get to work with her. Also, I'll meet new people that I can get to know. It'll be great :)

My life is good...

Support Raising

::mood:: recovering from being deathly ill
::iTunes:: Quit Playing Games with My Heart by Backstreet Boys

First of all, when I was younger it seemed as though you could only like one boy band. If you liked one then you had to hate all of the others...because if you like more than one you were betraying the one you were originally devoted to. I have memories of absolutely loathing the backstreet boys. I even made a movement to start a club called "The Backfeet Boys" for people who loved *NSYNC and hated BSB. What was I thinking? They have basically the same music. Why did I hate BSB so much? I don't know...I will regret that decision as long as I live.

So, GOOD NEWS! I got accepted as a GCM intern. So, I'm going to be an intern this summer at LT down in Virginia Beach and God-willing when I get back I'll do more internship stuff with Epic. That's exciting. Well, to make this happen I have to support raise and I'm going to Ann Arbor next month for Ministry Team Development (MTD) training. So, I have to compile a list of people who I'm contacting to ask for support.

This is really freakin scary and REALLY super exciting at the same time. Here's why I'm scared: I have a fear of initiating with people and it scares me to ask people to believe in me enough to fork over money for me. BUT, I know that people do believe in me and there are some people out there who are going to be excited about supporting me. I'm excited because it's making a team of people who believe in the purpose of Epic and LT and believe in my abilities. It's exciting! But, it's a lot of money to raise and it's extremely intimidating.

Please pray for me.

That's a sad day...

::mood:: completely overwhelmed
::iTunes:: Lead Me to the Cross by Hillsong United

So, I SERIOUSLY need to find a job because if I don't, I'll be completely depressed and I won't be able to pay for things that need to be paid for. So, I got accepted as a GCM intern (not that great of an accomplishment) and I got an e-mail yesterday saying that I need to register for the MTD training by January 16th and it's $149. I have absolutely NO idea how that's going to happen. I have no doubt that God will do something and it's going to work out but because I can't see that result right now, I'm feeling totally overwhelmed. I need some serious prayer. So, if you want to shoot a little prayer up to the Jeez right now...that'd be sweet.

Troy and I are going to go through the book of Revelation together and I'm pretty excited about it because I have never spent a whole lot of time in Revelation because when I was younger it was so depressing for me, so I guess I just kinda associate that book with that feeling now. But, YAY that we're going to read it together.

I'm a copycat and I'm okay with that

Oh Happy Days

::mood:: sore
::iTunes:: Fidelity by Regina Spektor

You might be asking yourself why my mood is "sore." Well, let me tell you. I haven't slept in my own bed since last Thursday night. I had the chance to last night but ended up sleeping in the theater because it was warmer in there.

We left for Ignite on Friday morning and the car ride down there was pretty good because Troy and I played Catch Phrase until we picked up Sarah Jacobs and then we played Outburst! It made the time pass a lot faster. I didn't want to go to Ignite because of the money and the fact that Vivian couldn't come (which made me extremely sad). God really did great things in my life this weekend and I am super glad I went...although, I did spend the majority of my time there being extremely sad...for who knows what the reason was.

One thing that God revealed to me was that I'm way too passive and it affects my relationships with the people around me. For example, I just assumed this entire semester that Steph and Faren didn't really want to hang out with me as much as I wanted to hang out with them. Well, I was wrong and we lost of semester of closeness. I really love them and I'm disappointed that I made them believe that I was too busy for them and whatnot. This is something that I really need to work on.

Troy and I played the Wii last night and it was so much fun!!! We bowled against each other and it was sweet! We also played baseball, boxing (I won) and tennis. Him and I got to be on the same team in tennis which I liked way better than playing against each other because we were only responsible for one of the players instead of two. We dominated every team we played pretty much! Accept Troy was standing next to me and I did a forehand and on my follow through I hit him really hard in the chest. Hahaha...it was great! I felt awful but he said it didn't hurt. YAY!

That's all!
