monumental week

it began last Sunday...
i did this for the first time in my adult life...

most of you know my ridiculous fear of public speaking and somehow i was talked into doing it last week at church. glad it is over!

later in the week, i decided to make a big move. most people aren't voluntarily moving jobs with the crazy economy....



but that's not going to stop me! i'm off to a NEW SALON and couldn't be more excited!

and finally...
one night at dinner, I swear on my fortune cookie, this is what Matthew opened at PF Chang's...

and this was the next day...

and this was the next...
hello large family in August '09!

I had been wondering when you would announce this. It feel like forever ago when it slipped out at dinner. I can't wait to see you and baby this week. Congrats on the new job.

Oh for heavens sake, this was the most fabulous post! You are so creative! I love what the fortune cookie read and I can't wait to meet the little one this summer!

I am a tad sad to not be able to grab a little taco surf after I get my hair done, but I am a lover of George O. I went there for years before I met you!

AND, I meant to ask you how the big talk went? I need details.

Let's talk soon, over a little B&C perhaps.

SUMMER said...

I thought I was going to have to wait until wednesday! I am so excited to be prego with you my friend. Our babies will be here just 2 days apart which means we can grow BIG together! Congrats again! Let's really meet up soon now that I am feeling a bit better. Actually... wanna meet at SCP tomorrow around 10:00 am and then get some lunch? Call or text me.

Totally Hess said...

So Meggy - the talk was FAB - don't know why you were chicken b/c you are a great public speaker! I also quit one of my jobs this month and this crazy economy and I think it will be great for both of us! Finally - can't wait for baby - but I think you will need twins or triplets to consider your family large - especially with the miniscual size of people in your family! Do you want a dresser for the new baby? I'm getting rid of Shelbys.

Chad and Laura said...
