I'm sorry Mom & Dad, and whoever might read this besides them, maybe Erin.
I have been seriously slacking on my blog updates. The fact is that there hasn't been much to blog about lately. I've pretty much been consumed with work the past 2 weeks. My direct supervisor, or "project manager" was out for 2 weeks, so I've been kinda on my own for the longest time yet. It was challenging, but I still felt like I handled it well. I did 3 sets of CD's (construction documents) basically on my own. I need to do a post about my job sometime. It's where I spend the majority of my awake life, and I feel like no one outside of the design world has a clue what I really do. One time I overheard my mom trying to explain it to someone and she was so totally off that I didn't even try to correct her because it would just make it more confusing. Sorry Mama. But, side note, you will probably be happy to hear that I've been a little homesick lately.
A dear sweet lady from our church passed away on Saturday. I felt so sad for the family, but I know she is in a better place and not suffering anymore. It just made me wish that I was home and could be there with everyone. I miss being home during this time of year, its when I would normally go home for the summer. I never realized how nice it is to have a 3 month long break every summer until I got a real job. What I would give to just leave tomorrow and tell everyone in my office that I'll see them at the end of August.
This is one of my favorite times of year @ home because everything is being planted, and all the crops start peeking up through the ground that looked so lifeless all winter long. It just makes me yearn to be there.
Good news: As soon as I got back from rainy Nashville, the weather here turned absolutely lovely. It has been so pretty these past couple of weeks. As a matter of fact, I'm sittin out on my back porch at this very moment. Eating some fresh bing cherries that I got today because they remind me of my Daddy :) And I like them.

I've started riding my bike to work on nice days when I know I won't have to look presentable for a meeting. I have thought about doing it for a while now, but it just turned pretty enough to make me do it. I timed myself one afternoon so I would know exactly how long it would take me. Turned out to be about 12 minutes if I take the back way and go slow so I don't get too sweaty. One good thing about my job is that if you don't have to be somewhere, they don't really care what you have on, or if you're a little sweaty, or if you leave your pink bike in the spare intern's office:)
I will leave you with this incredible video that I just watched about a baby buffalo vs. lions & crocodiles. It makes me think about the importance of family. Don't worry, it has a happy ending.

Sorry you're homesick, I can relate. Maybe you should go home for our shower?
You should tell more about what you do at work, I have no idea what you do really. I am sure Todd feels the same way you did when Mama tried to explain what you do when he hears me trying to explain what he does. Real jobs are sooo complicated! Jobs like mine are easy to explain. Play, eat, poop, sleep, repeat.
Well, I guess that I will have to go to work with Wouldn't that be great! Well I will try to ger my facts straight before I tell anyone else about you're job. Love, Mom
Hey Meeg...I totally understand your homesickness. If you ever want a quick break from the city you can come visit me in Granbury! You'd like it there. Oh...about your job...what's a CD?! Miss ya, Kelly Miller ;)
Does Mama's comment make any sense to you?
no.
what is she going to have to go to work with? and why would it be great? and how do you ger something? i'm confused.
but, i have to remember that this is comming from the woman who posted her own password on my blog b/c she thought that's how it worked.

OK now girls, quit making fun of Mom. She's just getting some confidence in using the computer. Just put the word "Meagan" after with and use "get" instead of "ger" and it makes total sense...
I recognize my wheat in that picture Meagan...it looks a little yellow though. Thats either from yellow dwarf virus or temporary micro nutrient deficiency.
Love, Dad... d:^)
Well if it makes you feel better we are Meagan-sick. We miss you here. I totally relate to the real job comment. I wish I could take the summer off, and the winter, fall and spring! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for Dorothy and our family, we really appreciate them. Love you
Hi Meagan!
Sorry you are homesick. We miss you back here too!
Hope we get to see you at Mallory's wedding.
