16 Days and Counting

Hey everyone!

I hope this post finds you after celebrating a great and filling Thanksgiving with your friends and family. I definitely did! Just to update you from the past blogging hiatus here's a summation of what's been going on around here.

I went to the David Crowder Concert in Atlanta a week ago and let me tell you - that's how life should be. During the concert Crowder kept saying "If we live like we sing this world would be a better place". We were on the floor of the Tabernacle meaning I could see the sweat on Crowder's face. Man. He even played a song with the controller from Guitar Hero. He had us bouncing up and down all over the place. I apologize if this steps on anyone's toes but I felt like that is how worship was meant to be! Just all out all over the place worshiping God. Love it.

After the concert Rachael and I embarked on a journey the next morning to meet my parents in Gatlinburg, TN. Thankfully we had a GPS which we fondly named Weatherbee that guided us to the cabin. Along the way the traffic came to a stop on the mountain and we were extremely confused as to why. Eventually I ask Ray "What is that big black mass in that tree?" "Um, Megan," she replied "that's a bear". So yes, I was in the Smokey Mountains and I saw a bear.

We stayed in Gatlinburg until Monday just relaxing, eating and sleeping. Well those were my main activities!

We arrived back in Auburn on Monday. I spent most of the week sleeping, spending time with friends and family. My dad's mom, Grannie as we like to call her, came down for Thanksgiving and we ate lunch at my mom's mom aka Mama Anne. DELICIOUS. Every time she cooks it's amazing. I'm STILL full if you can believe that.

The rest of our break I was yes doing more sleeping, (I figure I should get it while I could) and working on my pdf portfolio, updating my resume, and painting. I think I'm finally getting the hang of oil paints with a combination of mineral spirits. I'll have to post my results when it is finished!

Speaking of school here is a rundown of Megan's Tuesday:

1.) Couldn't sleep last night and received a grand total of 4 hours of unconsciousness.
2.) Late to class because I was exhausted from lack of sleep.
3.) The studio was so hot this morning we managed to sweat through 2 hours of sketching.
4.) I was verbally slaughtered in Art History by my professor as I feebly attempted to comment on Jeff Koon's flaunting his art in the Thanksgiving Macy's Day parade which made me feel like the squished roach killed during class in the row behind me.
5.) I scraped my leg in the process of biking like the wind to be on time for Biology since said professor lectured into my next class.

Also I would like to ad that going up to the storage room in J&M is a dangerous. Stanley who owns the art department of the store managed to create a waterfall of canvases to rain down upon me. As a souvenir the top of my right foot is turning a nice blue shade.

Well I'm going to continue taking notes in Biology and stop my leg from bleeding.

I guess you could say school is beating me up. Literally. Haa haha well at least my humor is intact!

As always, thanks for stopping by.
