I'm Megan! I'm 24 and just outside of Pittsburgh, PA. I have two great parents who have been together since day one and a quirky older sister who, although she's always beat me up, LoL, is an amazing, talented, great big sister (she's plays the piano by ear, can't read music to save her life, and sings her heart out!). We've had a couple family shake-ups: Dad had a brain tumor in '92 -- benign and removed. My sister had a cyst on her thyroid -- also non-cancerous and removed. After that, life was pretty normal.
I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2003 with a degree in English Writing, minors in Literature and Education... and I work at Starbucks.
That kind of depresses me, but I can only blame myself for not getting out there and getting a "real" job when I first graduated. The plan was to take a break for a year -- to rest from a crammed 4 years of college, then return to school for my Masters of Arts in Teaching.
When Starbucks dangled a promotion in front of me in late 2004, I thought it would be nice to continue doing what I love -- and that's working and connecting with the public and meeting new, amazing people all of the time. I thought it would be great to take the promotion, use it as a chance to save money before going back to school, and also as great experience. Fast forward one year -- I have yet to see said promotion which has greatly and negatively affected my attitude toward the company I used to love. I am a hardworker and always proud of whatever work it is I do, and I'm hoping to feel that way again someday soon.
In MUCH more positive news, I'm currently in the process of moving to a new store and into an apartment with my FH, Matt. He and I have been together since October 28, 2000. Matt and I met because I actually dated his high school friend, BJ, around November of 1999. It was freshman year of college, I was single for the first time in 4 years, and I kind of clung to BJ. It turned out, BJ and I were only meant to be friends -- I felt like I was kissing my brother!!! We ended up being great friends and BJ introduced me to Matt in June of 2000 -- ONLINE!!!
BJ had given each of us the other person's screenname because we had "similar quotes" in our AIM profiles! So, Matt and I talked online from June until October, when we finally met on the 28th. It always makes me laugh because I even seriously dated two other guys while Matt and I were just friends. I would come home from being on a date with one of the guys and tell Matt A-L-L about it (and I mean A-L-L about it!!!!!!)
He still kind of rubs it in my face because I got a little too detailed here and there -- and you know how guys are always trying to "measure up!" LoL!! [in other news, BJ and I haven't spoken since about the time I really started to date Matt!!]
It's kind of funny how this internet thing works -- but I enjoyed every minute of our entire relationship -- we were always very honest and I think we even admitted to possibly being in love before we even met (does that sound strange?!) in person. But, here we are, moving in together (which is kind of scary to me because I've never lived with anyone other than the parents!!)
But, we're young and trying to iron out our lives together and figure out this journey and where it's going to take us. We originally set the wedding date for 9/15/2007 and as of now, I'm sticking to it! I'm not sure where we're going to be financially when that date rolls around, but I'm excited to see where we'll end up!
