The Lights That Just Won't Be

So here's my Christmas tree when it's actually lit and fully functioning. With Corey's help I got my tree all put up, but while we were working away and just about had all the lights on, half of the tree went dark. Oh no, which strand is it? Because we're just so smart we figured it out in a jif. And then the other night while enjoying the lights, all of the sudden the tree once again went dark--with the exception of one strand on the bottom, which just happened to be the strand that was replaced. How sad is that? I guess I could go thru and check all of the strands to find out which one is the culprit but I haven't taken the time just yet. So for now and maybe the rest of the season I'll just have to remember what could have been.

My Turtles

I have two turtles and a gold fish. The Goldfish is called Goldfish, and I call the turtles Bubba and Sweets. But their real names are Rosencratz and Gildenstein from Shakespeare. Here are some pics!!

Megan's Vegas Trip

This past weekend I went on a trip to Vegas. It was so cold and nasty here in Idaho I thought, Vegas will be great! Actually I went to see UNLV and get a feel for campus to see if that's where I want to go. I had so much fun with some of my old friends, seeing the Bellagio, going to the Last Vegas High School, playing games, going to see Four Christmases (which I really liked), and more. Here are some of my favorite pictures. As for UNLV, I'm undecided still. I'm going to look into a couple of other schools for GRAD programs first.

I was tagged by my cousins Angie and Becca...their links are to the right...
First, I don't think I really have any quirks, maybe that in of itself is quirky.

1.) If you look at my key ring you'll notice all the keys are facing the same direction...
2.) I have a bad habit of hitting snooze. So I to help motivate myself to get up I set more than one alarm, cause one annoying noise in the morning is just not enough.
3.) I love, love, love Chocolate Milk. I have to drink a glass just about everyday!
4.) All of my DVD's are on the shelf in Alphabetical order. If I see one out of place I have to put it back in order.
5.) When I talk I tend to throw spanish words or phrases here and there...it drives one of my friends absolutely crazy...
6.) Yikes, I need someone to help point out my quirks, because honestly I just think all of this is normal :o)

I tag Teralee, Ryanne, Kimberly, and Cindy.

Halloween 2008

Halloween was fun this year! We went to two different ward parties (all dressed up too) and then went haunted housing. The best part of the haunted house was a bus with dead people on it and they would grab your ankles when you were walking though. I was screaming and trying to run off the bus! Then at the end Joker latched on to me and walked us to our car claiming he was going home with me. It was creepy and Teralee was scared bc she doesn't like clowns! Here are some pics!

Election Day

I'm not sure how everyone else feels about this election, but I'm watching Fox News and saw Obama won the electorial votes. So we have a new president. I feel sick to my stomach, maybe that is extreme but I am nervous and worried about our country. Being in Idaho I hear a lot about hunting and life and such. So people here are worried about the gun laws that Obama wants to put into effect. Which doesn't affect me that much but I can see how much it will affect the environment. Although the idea of socialized medicine doesn't seem that bad, I am still nervous on what is going to happen. So I was hoping to get other people's ideas and opinions on this election so that I can broaden my horizons and learn more of what our country is getting itself into. Not that either candidate was far better than the other, I just feel nervous. Any new information??

A couple of weeks ago I spent a night at a "call center" (it was really just someone's apartment where a bunch of people gathered to make phone calls) trying to contact citizens of California and asking them if they had heard of Proposition 8. If so, we tried to find out how they would vote. If they had not heard of it we tried to give them some information. Here are just a few of the facts that I learned from that call night. This really is a Big Deal!

History:
* In 2000, Californians passsed (by 61%) Proposition 22 which establishes marriage as valid only between a man and a woman.
*In May 2008 the California Supreme Court ruled 4-3 rules that Proposition 22 is unconsititutional. This made it possible for gays to get married legally in California. (If passed Prop 8 amends CA consitution making it impossible for the court ot overturn)

Fact:
*Proposition 8 leaves intact the rights and benefits of gay or lesbian domestic partners. Under California law "domestic partners shall have the same rights, protections and benefits" as married spouses (Family Code 297.5). There are no exceptions to this. Proposition 8 will not change this.
--This Proposition is basically just defining that marriage is between a man and woman. No rights lost.

Expected Outcomes - If Proposition 8 Fails (these are what really get me)
*Churches may be sued over their tax-exempt status if they refuse same-sex marriages.
*Teachers will be required to teach children there is no difference between gay and traditional marriages.
*Religious adoption agencies may be forced to place children with gay couples.
*Private universities may be required to allow gay couples in the married student housing.
*Ministers who preach against same-sex marriage may be sued for hate speech and risk government fines.

I think if this passes in California it won't be long before we see it in our own states. Below is an email from ProtectMarriage.com asking for more donations to support the efforts to pass Prop 8. I've given a few times now, I hope you will too. I really believe this cause needs all the support and effort we can give if we are to protect our values and beliefs.

Final Birthday note

It was to be a triple b-day party but unfortunately it didn't work out that way. Camarae was really starting to fuss and we could tell she was tired. So we had her open her b-day gift from Grandma before she went to bed. It was so funny because she calmed right down when tearing off the paper and when the books were in her hands she was enthralled. I've never seen anything like it. She was so intent on turning the pages and looking at the pictures. And I think she did this with both books, she even examined the card. It was so cute.




After Camarae went to bed we had birthday cake to celebrate my bday (of course) and Matt's since his is this Saturday. We were also going to include Camarae but she couldn't keep her second wind to party with us. If you look closely at the candles you might be able to make out the Jackal-lantern's face, thanks Crystal.

Happy Birthday Desaray!!!

It's Desaray's birthday and Teralee and I wanted to list our favorite top 5 things about Desaray!!

1. How she always listens and when I stop by the office she takes about an hour out of her day just to chat with me!
2. She's always willing to go and play with us! Doing whatever adventure we choose!
3. When Teralee first moved to Utah, Desaray helped with the transition process and even wrote little notes of encouragement.
4. You can always count on her to be there when you need help, she's the first in line every time!
5. She laughs and understands all your stupid little stories.

Desaray is the best oldest sister we could ask for! Have a great birthday!

Sabrina said:
She is always happy.
She is willing to help.
She loves tennis.
A good driver. haha

First Snow

I woke up this morning to this...


Definitely not on my birthday wish list!

Copper Mine Adventure

Since Crystal, Matt and Camarae are in town for a wedding and had a day to spare I decided to take the day off on Friday to spend some time with them. We went to the Kennecott Copper Mine here in Salt Lake City. They mine 17% of the world's copper and supply Tiffany & Co with all their gold and silver. I believe it's the world's largest open mine...it was an awesome sight.




This is a wheel from one of the big machines. Wow, it's bigger than a tractor.


The open mine...I don't think you can even see all the way to the bottom.

I HAVE NEW BRAKES!!!

As a citizen of our country, safety is my first priority when driving.  I like to protect other citizens from crazy driving.  So lately my brakes have been shaking pretty bad when I drive.  Which is not fun at all and frankly endangers others on the road when you're in a tight squeeze!  (haha) So Jake told me to go to Les Schwabs and have my brakes checked.  I did and my driver side front brakes were .8 something and legal limit where you HAVE to change is .32 or something.  You get the idea!  Then Jake made me go to Checkers by myself!  Do you know what they do to girls when they are there alone?  They stalk them and constantly banter them with questions b/c a girl can't possibly know what they are doing at Checkers!  Actually the guy that helped me was really nice and got me brakes for my car that cost 26 dollars!!  And they wanted to charge me 280 at Les Schwabs to get new brakes!  I got my brakes and it took a week for Jake to have time to install them but on my way to get a break change, I picked up 5 qt. of oil and a new oil filter.  So on the beautiful freezing day of October 9th, Jake put new brakes on my car, Ruby, and gave her an oil change.  It started raining when I got to his house and then quickly changed to snow.  I tried to get a good picture but who knows if you can really see the white flakes.  They were sure big though!!  Our first snow of the year!  It was a whopping 38 degrees while I sat outside and kept Jake company during the renovations on Ruby.  She is working good now!!!  And it saved me a ton of money!  The driver side brake pad was metal on metal, no wonder it shook so bad!  The other side was still pretty nice which was a relief.  But now it's new and ready to go!!!

 Me Freezing outside in the shop!
Donnie, Jake's dog, he's taking the tire off of the other side of Ruby.
 Grain fields while it's snowing.
 Jake's yard, trying to get the snow and if you look close you can see it!

Cooking Magic

Hi everyone!!  I started a new blog.  It's called Cooking Magic, my link is meganscookingmagic.blogspot.com  if you're interested.  Make sure your read the first post b/c I tell you that you can e-mail me recipes to add to the blog if you would like.  I'm excited because I've been talking about it for a long time!  If you have any ideas or tips that would be helpful let me know!!  It's Cooking Magic time!!

U.S. Champ

Congrats to all those who voted Roger Federer as our next US Open Champion (good choice). Writing tennis history Roger won the Men's Single US Open title (along with 1.5 million dollars and a brand new Lexus--but that's beside the point). He is the only person to have won 2 Grand Slam titles 5 consecutive times. He won Wimbeldon 5x in a row and he has now won the US Open 5x in a row. We can now say "I saw history in the making".

'47 Willy's Jeep

HERE IS THE REAL JEEP!!  This is the one that he restored!!!

For the past two months Jake has been working on rebuilding a 1947 Willy's Jeep.  I have been the patient one who sat there and tried to give tools, and talked and talked, while he worked.  He finally got it running this past week and has been taking it driving constantly.  Today was my first treck in the Jeep.  It only goes 35 mph but when there are no seatbelts or doors it seems a little fast!  We finally got me a jacket so I wouldn't freeze and put my sunglasses on to help avoid bugs! We off-roaded and climbed up some pretty steep stuff, so it was great fun!  I wanted to share my new experience with everyone and show them the jeep!  Well, it's just a picture I stole offline, but it is pretty similar, just black and rusty.

For the Love of Tennis

So, for those of you who don't know, I've really taken to tennis. I love playing and watching. This past summer I took a tennis class every Thursday evening. It was so much fun and I've learned a lot. Whether or not I'm incorporating what I've learned I hope that over time as I continue to practice my game will improve. Over this long weekend the US Open is happening in New York (I think next year I'll have to go experience it first hand) and my two favorite guys are still in the running: Roger Federer (in white) and Rafael Nadal (in green). And these two have got to be the biggest rivalry currently in the world of tennis. So I'm wondering who else is a tennis fan? And who do you think will win the US Open? (See poll)

Megan's Apartment

I told everyone that I would show them my new little apartment! So finally it's here!

Sabrina's Europe Trip

So now that I have all this free time and we have internet at the house I can update you on all the happening of the new Hughes’ Family. Thanks for Crystal posting picture of the wedding for everyone. Carley sorry my camera isn’t good enough to get a good picture of the ring.

Some of you might not know that 3 day after I got married I went off on my own adventure with out Robert. I sent him back to Idaho for two more weeks. Then he got to do the best job of packing up his house with his families help. Thanks! And then drive up with his friends help to our great little place on base in Ft. Greely. I will post pics went he house is all done.

So back to ME J. I went to Europe for 16 day and I will just give you a brief happening of each day. T let you know how it worked out Tour Director David arranged all our breakfast, dinner, tickets for the: museums, tube, metro, or train rides. This is the best way I have every traveled. Some one else does all that hard work for you. One other think about the 3 countries I visited is that people smoke everywhere. UGH. I couldn’t wait to get back to the states and the clean air.

London
Day 1: well that started with flying out of SLC to London. Got into London at 8 in the morning, which was really midnight Utah time.
Day 2: Leave the London airport. Victorian museum went out side to nap on the benches with my friend Misty. This is the longest days of my life even thought it is considered two. Went to a square that has a statues of Charley Chaplin and Shakespeare but neither have ever been there, go figure.
Day 3: Bus tour saw: Diagon Alley (Harry Potter), Big Ben (clock tower), London Bridge, went into St. Paul Cathedral, went to the Tower of London and saw the London wall. Ended up at the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and the Queen was even in. That night was Wicked on Broadway. Misty and I almost got lost but we are great listeners so we found the group really fast in the Tube. I was so tired that night I fell asleep for 10 minutes at the beginning but great play!
Day 4: Took a ride up to Stonehenge and Bath. It was fun to say I saw a famous pile of great big rocks. Now Bath was another store. That is where the Roman baths are and you can even drink that water that they believe to have healing powers. Saw the London Eye which is like a big Farris wheel.
Day 5: Last day in London. Road the Eurostar to Paris. That night in Paris went to a church up on a hill that had a great view of the city and the Eiffel tower. Did some great shopping there. Got some Paris perfume that I am still so excited about using.

France
Day 6: Went to church, yes the LDS church and it was even in English. Went to the textiles Museum where we saw Versatchie dresses. (How does you spell his name?) Down the street form the museum was the Tour de France race going on. The Notre Dame church I would have to say is my favorite out of the tones that we saw on the trip.
Day 7: Bus tour of town. Saw the Eiffel tower and a famous Arch with a round about and other places that I have no names for.
Day 8:Free time in the morning, found a flee market did some great shopping and found some really good pastier shop, yum, yum. Went to the Versailles Castle, great big beautiful gardens. Got on the night train to go to Italy. It looked just like the train on Harry Potter but six people have to fit in there with their luggage.
(I can’t remember what day we went to the Louvre, which was a huge castle but now a museum where I got to see the Mona Lisa and two other famous statues.)

Italy
Got bus drive Danalie who was with us for the rest of the time! Great driver.
Day 9: Oh, once in France and Italy you have to pay to use the public bathrooms. Castle of Sforza. Cathedral in Milano. The churches started to look the same but very beautiful. At dinner had happy birthday sung to me.
Day 10: Silk museum. Lake Como. Drive to a city out side of Venice.
Day 11:Boat rice to Venice. My FAVORITE place. I got some Venishian glass while there. Walking tour of town. St. Marcus Church, and another museum.
Day (August 2) 11: Revena. Saw two churches there with mosaic art work in them.
Day 13 (Aug 3): Walking tour of Florence. Leaning tower of Piazza. Saw the replica of David (the famous statue).
Day 14: Vatican City

ROME
Day 15 last day: What a cool place you need more than one cay. Started off seeing the Colosseum then went to the Sistine chapel ( is that in the Vatican City b/c we went there also) is because it was so pretty the painting so cool, Spanish steps, Trevi Fountain.
Day 16: so excited to get home and be one more day close to seeing Robert in Alaska.

Sorry so long I tried to keep it short. I love you all. ;)

COSTA RICA!

Finally need to tell everyone about Costa Rica!   I had the time of my life!  It's been two months now so I'm really behind, but to no further ado....!!!   

Angie and I went to the Cultural Square; they were hosting the Cow parade and I found the kissing cow!  You can't see the lips painted on the side but if you look closely on the shoulder there is a boy and girl about to kiss, I'm in front of the lips though!

We also went zip lining in the jungle, that was amazing and woa so much fun!  Highly recommended.  Here is a video that I took, my tour guide, Bali, was kind enough to give me a strap to attach my camera to so I wouldn't drop it!  Okay it won't load but here is a picture!  haha

I had so much fun with Angie and her family.  It was a great experience.  I even had one night when Dustin and Angie went to dinner to celebrate their anniversary, that the kids were practically begging for me to teach them aerobics, we had a blast!  THe beach was amazing and we were able to see some planes land and take off right above our heads on the beach.  I loved that trip!  Next time it's Mexico!

Hughes Wedding Pictures

Enjoy the slideshow! I finally got to making it! Sabrina since I did the slideshow of your wedding pictures you are going to have to make one of your Europe trip.

Twin's Birthday!

So today is our birthday.  Sabrina is all the way in Europe and I'm in Idaho.  So it doesn't seem like a real birthday, and it won't until she makes it back!  I couldn't sleep last night, I think it was the fear of 24 upon me.  I thought that I would post some pictures of Sabrina and I on here to celebrate our 24th birthday!  I hope you enjoy them.

Wedding Day

On Saturday, July 19, Sabrina and Robert Hughes were married in the Rexburg Temple. The sealing ceremony was a very good one with a great sealer with great advice. The day was very busy for us all with wedding events going on all day and night long. We were finally glad when it was all over and cleaned up, especially my mom. Sabrina and Robert had a great wedding day and are very happy that they are married now. Sabrina is now in Europe on her school trip hopefully enjoying her experience over there, I think that it would be so much fun to go to Europe. Robert has his house all packed and is just working until he leaves to Alaska, were he and Sabrina will live for 1 to 3 years. We wish them luck up there in Alaska and can't wait to hear of their adventures together. We will miss them both and can't wait to see them again hopefully soon. For those of you who are waiting for some wedding pictures here are some and I'll work on putting more on a slideshow.

Washington D.C.

Matt, Camarae, and I took our first family trip together recently. I thought that I would share with all of you the fun things that we did. First of all, we drove out to Maryland, crazy people is probably what you are all thinking with the price of gas and with a baby that is under a year old. Well the driving went really well both ways actually and the price of gas was cheaper than flying. Matt and I were surprised at how well Camarae actually did in the car. On the way there we drove all the way only stopping for gas and a couple of times to feed and change Camarae. So for being in the car for approx. 18 hours she did really well. Then on our way home we stopped at my cousin Rebecca and her husband Brad's house in Louisville, Kentucky, and spent the night and Sunday day with them (thanks Becca and Brad). Which their house was the halfway spot in driving back home so Camarae did not have to be in the car for the whole 18 hours again. Anyway, onto what we did in Maryland.

We arrived at Matt's dad's house on Saturday and stayed with them(his dad Mike, Step-mom Becky, and half brother Greg) until Monday morning. While we were there we rode four-wheelers, hot guns, went to the beach at the Naval base, and had crabs for dinner. Matt was so excited for the crabs and loved being able to have them. I was planning on eating them but once I saw them on the table the mix of the smell and the sight I didn't want to try crabbing myself. Matt did give me some of his crab meat to try which was o.k. and Becky made me a crab cake which I thought was good. Mentally I didn't like the thought of tearing apart the crab to get the meat to eat. Probably sounds weird to some of you who love crabbing. We had a fun time with the Porter side of the family and they enjoyed meeting and spending time with Camarae.

On Monday we headed up to Alexandria, Virginia, where Matt's grandma Ketch lives (she is Matt's mom's mom). Once there we and kind of settled we headed to the metro to go to the Mall in D.C. We spent the afternoon in the Mall area at the Botanical Gardens, the Native American Museum, and the Air and Space Museum. After these activities we headed back to the Metro to go home to put Camarae to bed. While we were out it started raining so we hung out in the Air and Space Museum to wait out the heavy rain. There were a lot of neat items in there maybe next time we will spend a little more time in there and hopefully less people in there. At the botanical gardens we found this one plant that is called the sensitive plant were when you touch the plant it reacts to your touch. I've included the video of it, enjoy!



On Tuesday we headed back into the Mall area. This time we went to the Smithsonian, Natural History Museum, the Zoo, and walked up to the Washington Monument, WWII memorial, and to the reflection pool between the memorial and the Lincoln Monument. We decided not to go all the way up to the Lincoln Monument because they had the short path blocked off for the fourth and we didn't have that much time left before going back to the Metro for the evening. When we got back to Grandma Ketch's house we were all exhausted and glad to be back to the house. It felt like a long day walking around the Mall area and at the zoo. Camarae seemed to like the activities that we were doing but would have preferred having her afternoon nap in her bed and not in her stroller. She is not one to fall asleep too easily in her stroller or in the car she prefers her bed.

On Wednesday we hung out at the house to relax and then in the evening Matt and I were able to go to a session at the D.C. temple while grandma stayed at home with Camarae. We put her to bed before we left to make it easier for grandma. We enjoyed our night at the temple thanks grandma for watching Camarae for us.

Thursday we headed to Ocean City to spend the day at the beach. The water was still cold so we didn't end up getting in the ocean. Just put our feet in for a little bit. It was windy while we were there so we kept Camarae wrapped in her towel to keep her warm. She liked the birds that kept walking around us and the sounds of the ocean waves crashing into shore. She did not care for the cold water though. We walked a ways on the boardwalk and found some huge kites that were flying above the beach by the boardwalk.

Friday we also stayed home to relax and in the evening Matt and I went to the Mall to enjoy the Fourth of July fireworks that were set off by the reflection pool infront of the Lincoln Monument. We sat on the lawn by the Washington Monument and enjoyed the spectacular fireworks show. It was raining a little bit during the fireworks so we sat underneath our umbrella and watched the show. After the fireworks were over we walked to the White House before getting back on the Metro to head back to Alexandria. The "back" of the White House was blocked off that evening so the only side of the White House that we got to see was the "front". It was still pretty neat to see the White House even if it was the side that you usually do not see in pictures or on t.v. Next time we go out there we want to do a White House tour. Since it was the Fourth of July the Metro was packed with people. At one point you couldn't even move the train was so packed. Matt took a picture of our packed train it was crazy how many people were on it. The conductor at the next stop even told passengers that there would not be anybody able to board because it was so full but he still had to make the stop to see if anybody would be getting off at the stop. I was glad that it was only that squished for two stops for us which was still about 10 minutes on the train.

We had a great first family vacation and hope to do it again sometime in the future. Thank you to all of the family members who let us spend time with them and let us stay at their homes.

Next week Camarae and I are off to Utah. This time the trip will be taken by plane. I can't wait to see family that is out there it will be busy but a fun time.

Warm River Springs

I thought that I would show everyone what we are up to in Idaho for the 4th!  We had a nice lazy picnic on the docks of the river, and then went clay pigeon shooting and proceeded to hike up R Mountain where we saw fireworks from 3 different surrounding towns.  Today Robert, Sabrina, Teralee, Jake, and I went to Warm River Springs and explored Idaho countrysides! It was beautiful and the weather was just right .  Above is me, Teralee, Sabrina, and Robert at the top of the springs.  Below is the debut of Jake, and then a great shot of the river.  It is so pretty up here and a great place to fish.  Our next adventure?  I think so!  Then winter it's snowmachines.  We are exploring Idaho and finding some really pretty fun places!

5K pictures

All right for all of you here are the pictures we have from the race!!!
