1. Excited its friday! Don't really have anything too exciting planned. School tomorrow, dinner and a movie with a good friend and laundry on Sunday! There is tons and I am not excited about that.
2. Went to Texarkana last weekend to visit car guy's family. Had a absolute blast and i wish we were still there! We will see them again at Christmas though so not much longer.
3. This is the first Christmas in my 26 years that I will wake up Christmas morning and not be with my mom and grandparents. It will definitely be different, but I think I'll be alright ha ha!
4. Thanksgiving is next week and I'm so excited, but for the wrong reasons. I can't wait for the ads and for black friday. My mom and I have been shopping black friday for as long as I can remember, so I will easily give up my Christmas so that way we can spend Thanksgiving with my family and my mom and I can still shop!
5. School has been kinda frustrating lately.....I know I always talk about how great it is but sometimes just like everything it has its moments. Just thought I would share.

5 years ago....
(I have never shared this story before and have been debating over it for a few days, but I figure if it could possibly help one person than it was worth it.)
5 years ago today, I was dating a guy named Stephen. We met my sophomore year of college. We were basically inseparable from the day we met. We dated for about 5 months before we moved in together, which is really crazy to me looking back because I was only 19 years old. I never thought twice about my decision. We moved in together and immediately started playing house. We got along great and rarely had disagreements. We were so young, but for me this is what I had always wanted. I wanted to get married young and have kids young. However, this wasn't in god's plan for me. Stephan and I talked a lot about marriage and he too wanted to have kids young. We were renting a house and were looking into buying a house to start all of our dreaming in. I felt my life was complete, there was nothing more I wanted. I was going to school to be a teacher and I had a great boyfriend and we were going places, we had a future together. Stephen loved to hunt. He hunted every weekend of hunting season. I mean every weekend. He would hunt with anyone who would go with him. His favorite though was to hunt with his dad. 5 years ago today he went hunting with his dad. This would be the day that changed my life. He got up at 3:00 am to meet his dad. He was running late because they were supposed to be leaving at 3. I don't remember much about that morning but I do remember I though he had left, but he came back into the room and kissed me and told me he loved me. I got up that day and got ready for work. He called me while I was getting ready for work and told me about how he had just missed a huge deer. This was the last time I talked to him. I went to work that day as usual. I got a call at about 3:30pm from his mom telling me that Stephen's dad had broken his leg and they were airlifting him to baptist east. She asked me to call Stephen and tell him to drive his dad's truck home from the woods they were hunting in. They were hunting in Selmer, TN which is about an hour an a half from here. This didn't make sense to me because I figured Stephen would have had to be the one who called to get his dad airlifted to the hospital. I called him anyways and he did not answer. A few minutes later Stephen's mom, Kay called me back. She sounded upset, so I asked her if she wanted me to meet her at the hospital cause I was almost done at work. She said she did so I finished up what I was doing. She called me back a third time and told me I needed to get there soon. I left work as fast as I could and I kept calling Stephen all they way there, but he wasn't answering. I never thought much of him not answering. I assumed he was driving his dad's truck back and probably knowing him had the windows down and the radio up. I got to the hospital and there was a man waiting for me at the door. He asked me if I was Megan and I said yes, I thought to myself "wow this is so nice they have someone waiting for me to show me where everyone is". While we were walking his aunt walked up and was crying. I figured Stephen's dad was in really bad shape. We walked around to a room where Kay and a few other people were standing. She walked up to me and hugged me and told me that Stephen had died. I was so confused. What had happened. How was this happening to me? Things like this didn't happen to me...I had heard about crazy things like this but they had never happened to me.

Random Ramblings
- I hate whistling. It drives me crazy! Its like nails running down a chalkboard for me!
- Car guy and I are going to Texarkana (his family lives there) this weekend. Every six weeks he gets a three day weekend, which is nice because I feel like about every six weeks we need a break from our busy lives. I am super excited and therefore I feel worthless this week. I will probably be worthless the week after we get back to. Funny how vacation does that to you.
- I can't wait for Thanksgiving. This is awful but I love waking up Thanksgiving morning and reading the ads for black Friday. I absolutely love black Friday and my mom and I have been shopping the day after thanksgiving for as long as I can remember.
- Car guy's engine is blown on his car, so he had to get a new one. He got a Volkswagen CC, so now we are both Volkswagen owners :)
- We got new stations today at school. Every month we move stations. Its based on our percentage of attendance. Me and my beauty school bestie are still next to each other. Probably cause we manage to miss the same days, not really sure how that happens. Oh wait, its probably cause we text each other the night before if we aren't gonna be there! Ha!

I've been hacked....
Yep... I have been hacked. Someone somehow got into my AOL account and is sending out all of this junk mail to EVERYONE in my contacts list. I have had my email account since I was in 7th or 8th grade, so everyone includes people that I have been friends with at any point since then and sent them an email. It also includes people I go to church with, worked the church nursery with and so on and so on. These emails sometimes are ads for things that are not so much appropriate. This time is was a list of different drugs. This is also the second time it has happened. This first time was when I was on the cruise and honestly since I was out of the country I didn't think much of it. I thought this would be an easy problem to fix. Wrong! So I tried to change my AOL password. Well to change my password, it asks me a security question. The security question is what is the name of your school. Like I said I have had the email address since I was in the 7th or 8th grade. I have tried entering in EVERY school or combination of schools I have ever been to and none of them seem to be the right answer. It has the option to click here if you forgot your password. So I clicked on it, and it wants to know the name of the person on the account and the home phone number and the last 4 digits of the credit card in which your account is billed to. I don't pay for AOL, but I did have AOL, back in the day when you did have to pay for it and I'm pretty sure whatever credit/debit card this was billed to back in 1996 probably no longer exists.
Sooooooooo I called the 800 number to try and explain the situation. The 800 number sucks. It was an automated person who wants to know all of the same information the computer does. Then it asks me to say the first 3 letters or numbers of my AOL email address. It then tells me it cant find it on record. Really? I use it everyday so I'm pretty sure its there. I hit every option the fake teleprompter person gave me and the closest I ever got to talking to a real person was that if I would like to talk to a live person I would have to pay to upgrade my account. Are you kidding me? So I don't know what to do. I thought about telling them I would upgrade my account just so they would put me through to a real person, but right now that is my only option. I deleted all of my contacts except for a few close friends and family who I know won't get mad or think my computer is sending them viruses if it happens again. I'm hoping if the hacker tries to send out a mass email again before I figure this out then he/she might be discouraged when they see I only have like 5 contacts now, but who knows. Any suggestions? I'm desperate.........
