Can't help but hear this song in my head when I look at this picture.

Me

...this is starting out as a very self centered post isn't it...

I realized the other day that "I'll never forget this" is sooo distant from reality isn't it?

(I am a slow learner). 

Sometimes I just sit there staring at these precious little faces (Kenny's included, I love his face) and think, how can I forget this...and then life happens, time goes on, they grow, and I forget. I forget things like Bennett saying 'hold you me'. I forget what this chunky little girls legs looked like without all those creases and rolls. I forget how Kenny used to "drive by braille"...(it's tricky, you should ask him how sometime).

I also forget me.

I know that sounds weird but I am not the same person that married Kenny Lee 6 something years ago. And I'm definitely not the same person who went to West Linn high school. 

Yes, those were me too, but such a different me. 

Sometimes I forget that I change just as much as these little babies of mine do. 

And although at moments I don't want to remember those other me's, I actually do.

So...since this is the most current form of my journaling these days...this is me:

(Please feel free to stop reading here and skip down to the pretty pictures)

I love being a mom and wife. Some days are hard, tiring, and feel very unrewarding, but I wouldn't choose to do anything else.

I hate messes and all things dirty. There are few things that can put me in a worse mood than overflowing hampers, dust coated furniture, unvacuumed floors, water spots, and dirty toilets. And I especially dislike unorganized drawers, cupboards, and closets. My name is Megan and I may have OCD.

I have flash backs of jr. high when I see people write retarded things like 'omg'

I think the magic eraser is one of the greatest inventions of this century.

I feel probably an unrighteous amount of pride when people compliment us on our children.

I hate naughty words...you know the ones

I really like food. I like to cook food, talk about food, smell food, and look at food. I am kind of a food snob and a garbage disposal all at the same time...if that's even possible. Leftovers however are so not my favorite.

I so wish I could go on biggest loser just so I can see if I can handle one of their workouts.

I hate tight clothing 98% of the time. 

If I had unlimited resources and time I would get a nutrition degree and go to culinary school and write cook books. 

I love popcorn, especially with butter and Parmesan cheese...and of late, marshmallow popcorn, mmmmm...

I think 'ombre' hair and high waist-ed pants are horrendous (I'm so sorry if you have ombre hair or wear those ugly pants...but i promise you will look back in 10 years and also wonder what you were thinking) 

I really want a cello and secretly wish I was a concert pianist.

I wish I ate as healthy as my mom.

I think Kenny is the world's most perfect husband, but that is a whole 'nother post in itself.

Even though I wear both, I really dislike wearing lip gloss and big earrings.

I really wish my whole family could live in the same place! (hint hint mom, dad, aubree, and taylor)

My favorite shoes are black old navy flip flops that have been nice and worn in. If its not Sunday you will most likely find me wearing them come rain or shine.

I love classy-ness and tact and think society is majorly lacking in both. 

One of my pet peeves is when people confuse needs and wants.

Speaking of needs...I really need to go to Greece and France. 

If I ever can't sleep it is usually because I am decorating our future house in my head, it's really pathetic but true.

AND

Harrison Ford is like cheese, he only gets better with age.

Now, on to the good stuff...my precious little Naomi girl and Bennett!

(thank goodness for my endlessly talented mother-in-law who will drop anything to take our pictures for us)!
