Ms. Wheelchair Utah Begins!

Ms. Wheelchair Utah Orientation begins tomorrow. So excited! We have 15 contestants from all over Utah - the youngest contestant is 3 and the oldest...well, a little older :)

I've got an awesome team of volunteers - thanks Mindy, Wendy, Susie, and Kimberly! - I'd fit in a little better if my name ended in a Y sound. So for the rest of the pageant, I'll be known as Meg-y.

We also have some really cool performers and guests including Craig Bolerjack, Peter Brienholt, Jason Tonioli, and even little Gabe Adams!

This is going to be the best pageant yet!

Combined Federal Campaign

Had an amazing time speaking at the Combined Federal Campaign this morning! They do a lot of good work for a lot of good nonprofits.

I loved being with all those charitable people.
I loved sharing my message on service.
I loved hugging Bob Evans from Fox 13.
Plus who wouldn't love speaking right next to a FIGHTER JET?!

Check out their facebook and SEE ME!

New Blog

So I am officially dissolving my more "professional" website blog and now opening up my personal blog! I have let this personal blog slide kind of because I was focusing on the "pro" version, but the more I think about it, everything I do (and I do quite a bit) comes from my heart. There isn't a distinction between "working Meg" and non-working Meg." It's just "Meg."

Shutters!

I love my little house so much! Our south side is super dull and has just a boring window...bnut not anymore!Whit painted me some beautiful shutters!
(don't mind the green splotches...we don't know where they came from.)
and he even went ABOVE and BEYOND and built, painted, and attached a planter box full of flowers!
doesn't it look amaZing? Our neighbors are slowing down to look at it as they drive by. I love the planter box, I have beautiful flowers right in front of me every day as I work! (my computer is just inside that window...I can even see those flowers right now!).

We started a garden!

Our onions are sprouting...Our nine-legged garden is growing marigolds, broccoli, lettuce, beets, onions, arugula, cabbage, and some other stuff I can't remember.

Last year Whit ripped out the strawberries because he didn't know they grew back but this little plant survived the thrashing and here it is!

We even had broccoli come back from last year and some lettuce that never even grew last year but is growing now (before we even planted any seeds). I guess it needed to think a little bit before deciding to grow.
ahhhh, drinks!

watermelons

I started to carve a watermelon for my mom for mother's day but Whit took over - check out his creation!

the reaction was awesome...

The Many Faces of Whit

I just wanted to post today and show everyone my hot, hairy hubby. He grew a full beard for a couple weeks and then shaped it into multiple 'staches (for my benefit of course).

He started out growing one for the 24th of July breakfast. The elder's quorum presidency was in charge of it. When he started, the other guys wanted to join in, so I put in a coule pictures of their 'stache attempts :)

On the 24th, he wore his pearly snap cowboy shirt and under it he wore a shirt with this message: Guns don't kill people. People with mustaches kill people.

Well, he wasn't arrested, but he was definitely responsible for quite a few people who died laughing.
