The Peachy Magnolia

 Yes, you read that right! I got married this past weekend on June 2nd. It was perfect. Everything went as planned. I even got all the words right! (My only mistake was almost putting the ring on the wrong hand, but I don't care about that...Just as long as I got all the words right!)  It was truly a magical day. Now, let me bring on the pictures!                                                                                   After the wedding I have to say, I love being married. I've always dreamed of being a wife and living the married life...Now, I finally am! I can't wait to see what the future will bring for me and my husband! 

 It's been 5 years since my last post! A lot has changed in the past 5 years. My first niece was born in 2021 and my fourth nephew was born in 2022. I changed positions at my job one year ago and celebrated my 6th anniversary at my job back in June!  I, unfortunately, lost my dad in August of 2019. But I gained someone very important to me back in June of this year. That brings me to my next announcement...                                                                         Yep, that's right! I'm engaged! He was an amazing boyfriend and he's been an even better fiancé. He's everything I've prayed for and more. This is the healthiest and most stable relationship I've ever experienced so I'm truly blessed to be marrying such an amazing guy! I'll post more on this in my next post including our weddi...

Wow...I haven't posted in so long!  I'm so sorry, you guys, but I have some amazing news!                                                         I'm going to be an aunt again! YES! ANOTHER BABY! We're so excited especially since this is my oldest sister's first baby! We really wanted the baby to be a girl since my other sister already has 2 boys... but God had other plans! It's a BOY!  Looks like it's 3 nephews for me which I'm perfectly fine with!  I love my sweet little nephews and I can't wait to add another to the mix!  I'll see you in April sweet baby boy!  Lots of Love, Aunt May-May :)

Hi everyone! I'm so sorry for the very long hiatus! I have a great reason for it though. I got a job! I started working back in June and so far...it's been quite the experience. There are some days I wish I could quit and then other days, I'm happy to be working. I guess that's just the whole first job experience. Oh. and even more great news:         The email I got from my teacher!  My Diploma! 😍 Yep! I graduated! So, as you can tell a lot has happened over the past few months.  I really feel like an adult now! 😂  I'm still really sorry for the long pause from posting, but work really has been taking up most of my time...But I promise I will do better!  Anyway, thanks so much for sticking around even when I wasn't writing as much. I really appreciate it! You guys are awesome! ❤ Lots of Love, Meagan :)

My favorite for April and May? Blogs!  This post is very important to me because without finding other blogs, I would've never made my own.

I'm 7 days into my "no junk food diet" and the first couple of days went great! However, the last couple of days have been a little hard. I've been wanting to emotional eat and my cravings are constant. I have been exercising more though, which is great! But I have to get completely back on track if I want to lose some weight by June 1st! So, as you can tell, this is only the beginning of my weight loss journey. I'm hoping to come back with some great updates and share my story to inspire others! Wish me luck! :) To Be Continued...

I'm so sorry, you guys. I know, I know. I say that every time, but it's really been a busy couple of weeks.  First, I was going to post on World Down Syndrome Day, but that didn't work out. Then, I was going to post on my birthday, but that (of course) was a very busy day. However, I do have pictures to share from these events! :)                                                                                      Rocking our funky socks on World Down Syndrome Day!                                                                                       ...

I tend to develop a new obsession every month so I figured why not share my favorites with you guys? My favorite for this month: Vlogs!  I started watching vlogs back in 2013 back when I was obsessed with watching gender reveal videos on Youtube. Come to think of it, I still love watching those kinds of videos.  (I mean come on...I can't be the only one who loves watching someone find out the gender of their baby especially in a fun and creative way. It brings so much joy and excitement!) Anyway...The first vloggers I found were Ellie and Jared! I found the gender reveal video when Ellie was pregnant with her first son, Jackson. I instantly fell in love with them! They seem like such an amazing family. Plus, they are hilarious! Ellie's siblings also have vlogs and I love watching theirs too! There are a ton more that I just recently started watching so here are my top 13 favorites that I've been binge-watching for days! I'll leave links to each channel so you ca...

It's been such a chaotic couple of weeks! Seriously! I'm so sorry for being MIA, but I've got a good reason for it. First of all, we moved! Yep, we're staying at my grandma's until an apartment opens up. Which, of course, has been hectic. Plus, my great aunts have been here visiting and they're also staying with my grandma so yeah...it's been a crazy couple of weeks to say the least. Oh, and might I say how happy I was when my little sister got the stomach virus! :( Luckily we were still at our old house when this happened and my sister and her family had already moved out so I had a bathroom all to myself that was not contaminated! Even though my anxiety was through the roof, I managed to get through the next couple of days without getting sick. Thankfully, my mom didn't get sick either which is very weird considering she cleaned up after her and held the bowl up to her mouth as she puked. This is the first time no one else has gotten it and it really ...

Life is hard for everyone, but it has such beauty. Lately, I've been making a lot of mistakes like shattering a glass plate all over the kitchen floor and killing my mom's car battery while waiting in the parking lot. Sorry mom! Even when life's at it's ugliest, it's still beautiful. I know. It's hard to think like that. People are homeless. People are starving. People are being murdered. People are dying from cancer. It's horrible and sad, but life will always be beautiful. Your life. Her life. His life. All beautiful. I'm telling you this because I want you to realize it before it's too late. I don't want you to realize it when your family member is on their deathbed or someone you know goes missing. Enjoy every single moment with your friends and family. For every beautiful life cut short, live for them. For every beautiful life starving, feed them. For every beautiful life homeless, shelter them. For every beautiful life going t...

Yes, I know that it's not the new year yet, but I didn't know if I would be posting on New years day so I'm going to go ahead and tell you. :) I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! I know I did! I got a lot of goodies from Santa. ;) I'm, also, very happy to say that I'm working on my first children's book! In the past, I've mostly wrote for tweens and teens. I never ended up finishing them though. A children's book would be shorter and easier to write so this time I'm hoping to actually get it published! I'll keep y'all updated on that! :) Oh, and I'm very very happy to say that I've been eating a lot healthier the past couple of days. Well, I sort of didn't today, but I could tell a major difference when I ate healthy food vs when I ate junk food. I had way more energy and I was less bloated, but today I just feel crappy. So, I'll definitely be eating a lot more healthy food from now on! It seems like the next c...

So...I passed all of my exams and I'm now out for winter break! I have one more semester and then I'll be a high school graduate! I can already tell that 2017 is going to be an awesome year for me (*knocks on wood*). Although, I'm a little nervous about going to college and not only will I be attending college, but I'll also be looking for my first job! It's definitely going to be a year of firsts for me! I've looked at some college websites and looked for job openings and I saw a few that spiked my interest, but none of them seemed right for me so I'm going to continue to look and pray that God leads me down the right path. Anyway, enough with the college talk! It's Christmas Eve, y'all! Wow, this month has flown by! Come to think of it...this year has flown by! I can't believe it's already Christmas time! Now, let's get into the Christmas spirit, shall we? I've got my Christmas outfit on, my Santa hat on, and I've had my morni...

     So many great things have happened including finally figuring out what I want to go to school for! I've decided that I would like to go and get my bachelor's degree in early childhood education and I'm going to become an elementary school teacher! I'm really exited about this and I feel like I've finally got things figured out! I'm hoping to teach 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade language arts since that is my favorite subject and I don't want to teach really little kids, but I guess I'll take whatever job I can get. I, also, wouldn't have to teach all of the subjects since upper elementary schools tend to switch between teachers and they each have different subjects to teach like one teaches science and math while the other teaches language arts and social studies. I'm so excited to start this journey!              That's not all, though! I have more great news! My blog has reached the milestone of over 1,000 views! I know tha...

I'm sorry I haven't posted in almost a month! I really couldn't stand when bloggers wouldn't for months, but now that I am one, I've finally realized how much of a hypocrite I've been! It really is difficult to keep up with the whole blogging thing especially when nothing too exciting is happening. Anyway, let's get back to the basics! So many things to catch up on since the last time I posted so let's get started! We've had birthday parties, Thanksgiving, and now we're getting ready for Christmas (my 2nd favorite holiday!). I absolutely LOVE this time of year! The music, the decorations, and especially the movies!  It's safe to say that I'm ready for Christmas, lol! We had my sister's and nephew's birthday party on 11/20. They were born exactly 2 years and 2 days apart so it only makes sense to let them have a party together, right? It was a lot of fun and we had A LOT of cake which doesn't sound so bad, but trust me, i...

Yep, it's that time of year again. That time of year where just about everyone you know has some sort of illness. Whether it be a little cold, the flu, or my personal least favorite: the tummy bug. It seems like everyone is coming down with something. Including my own family...Yes, we've had a bug come to our house. Luckily, it's not the dreaded tummy bug, but I've still had to deal with my mortal enemy: Vomit. Mostly, it's been fever, sore throat, runny nose, and coughing so much that it triggers the gag reflex thus creating vomit. I have to say that I've done absolutely amazing when dealing with it. I guess knowing that I can't catch it really helps. Anyway, my little sister is getting over it, but now my mom has it. Just the fever and sore throat though. Oh, and lots of muscle aches. I have no proof, but I have a feeling it's the flu. My little sister didn't get tested for it when she went to the doctor, however, she did get tested for strep throa...

   I'm guess I'm going to be blunt about this. I try my very best not to be annoying. I really do! Of course, my anxiety tells me that no matter what I do, I'll always be annoying and you know what that just might be true! I mean, I know that I can be annoying sometimes ( if not all the time) but I going to be honest...at this point, I really don't care. I know I post a lot about being single and about my future husband on Facebook, but that's because I'm really self-conscious about not having a boyfriend right now. However, when I post something funny about not having a boyfriend or something about my future husband...I'm not trying to be annoying...Really, I'm not! I'm just trying to stay positive about the whole thing. Seeing all of my friends that are the same age as me and all of their selfies with their boyfriend/girlfriend just makes me feel left out. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm really happy for them! I just wish I had som...

Yep, it's November 1st! This day used to be my least favorite day of the year because it officially meant that Halloween was over. Now, I've come up with a new November 1st tradition that I started last year...I watch Christmas movies all day! I helps ease my sadness over Halloween ending and puts me in the Christmas spirit so it's a win-win!  However, I did promise some Halloween pics yesterday so here they are!                                                                         I was Cleopatra! :)                                             I know this is a pretty bad picture, but it was the                          ...

For those of you who know me personally, already know that Halloween is my favorite holiday! So, you can probably guess that I'm extremely excited about today! Anyway, I hope you all have a great one and please stay safe out there! I'll post pics of our Halloween party either later tonight or tomorrow so stay tuned for that! :)

October has been a hectic month! Some things I expected to happen and others, I did not. On October 1st, I was informed that my grandmother had passed away. Of course, I was devastated. It was also upsetting to know that I wouldn't make it to the funeral considering that my sister was 9 months pregnant at the time and the funeral was two states away. Then, a week later, we had to deal with *shudders* puke. Yuck! Yep, my little sister decided to get sick, but (Thank God!) she only did it one time. My mom actually thinks she just ate something bad so it wasn't contagious. Finally, a rainbow after nothing but storms! On the morning of October 11th, (Her due date.) my sister went into labor! Luckily, her labor was super fast and we got to meet him way sooner than we thought we would! I have to say...he is the cutest thing on the face of the earth! I can literally hold him all day long and never get tired of it! It makes me (kind of) want my own. I would love to post pictures ...

It's been quite a crazy week! It all started Sunday when my little sister woke up struggling to breathe at about 3 in the morning. We already knew she had a cold, but we weren't expecting it to get that bad. At one point, her lips started turning blue so we immediately knew that she needed to go to the hospital. I had to be the one to sit in the backseat on the way there while my mom drove. Of course, I really didn't want to be the one to go to the hospital considering hospitals= sick people = a lot of vomit = an emetophobe's worst nightmare. However, I was way more worried about my little sister. It was so horrible to see her like that. I remember praying and holding her hand the entire ride there. It was definitely one of the scariest moments of my life.  Thankfully, there was no one in the waiting room so we got to go in the back immediately after arriving. She had a breathing treatment done so she seemed to be doing much better and we were actually getting r...
