Marky Mark Mark

"Take it one day at a time, Megan. You will be just fine. Baby steps, girlfriend, baby steps."

This thought runs through my head multiple times a day, now that school has begun. I find myself getting overwhelmed and stressed out over the silliest of things! (I am my mother's daughter after all!)

The hardest part of this entire week, though, was leaving Mark on Tuesday morning. Will it ever get any easier? For me, probably not. He is the epitome of the perfect guy in my eyes, and I thank God every day for placing him in my life. Every time that I hear my phone buzzing, I secretly hope that it's a phone call or text from him. (Sorry to disappoint anyone..I love hearing from all of you too I promise!!!)

This has been an excellent opportunity for me to toughen up this week. Mark tells me quite frequently (as I seem to get a little excited sometimes), "Megan, just sit back and enjoy everything. It isn't always going to be like this." OH HOW RIGHT HE IS! So often, myself and many others get caught up in this whirlwind that we call life and forget to live in the moment. So, this weekend, I vow to take the time to: stop and visit, play catch with my brothers, go fishing with my parents, and soak up everything my grandparents say.

At 3:00 this afternoon, all of my patience that I had built up during the week, paid off. I finally got to see my hunny. :) Granted, he was working so I didn't get to spend much time with him, and he was super dirty and sweaty, but it didn't bother me one stinkin' bit. :) The joy of seeing him greatly outweighed the cons, no matter the circumstances. The distance makes me appreciate him that much more I think. He's perfect.

As I was leaving his work site today, I asked if he had laundry for me to do. This is how the rest of the conversation went...

Mark: Yeah, I do.

Me: Is there a lot?

Mark: Well, kind of. Oh, and you might find something there that you might not like. (laughs)

Me: Ummm, ok? Is it bad? Should I be concerned?

Mark: I don't know. We will just see how smart you are. (laughs again)

("I don't know" followed by laughter is a classic Przekwas reply might I add!!)
Well guess what? I must be EXTREMELY smart, because I spotted this "object" right away. Lately, he has had a fettish with buying guns. Am I upset about it though? Of course not! For the most part, he makes good use of them, and we have fun holding competitions between each other to see who has the best shot. It's all good, clean fun. :)

I'm off to put clothes in the dryer now.
(It wasn't nearly as much as he described by the way.)

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I'm HOME and I wouldn't trade this place for the world!



This is Mark, by the way.
This picture was just taken this past weekend, when he and a couple friends went cat fishing on the Red River by Hallock.
We love spending time at the lake and doing fun things on the water. This was over the Fourth of July.

Another day this summer when Mark was the only one to catch a fish. What a pro!

Big Moves

Well, I guess you could say that I am joining the band wagon folks! I have many friends that share blogs on Facebook, and I simply LOVE reading every single one. Now that I'm at school, why not polish my writing skills a little too? ;)

This week has been a series of three BIG MOVES for me.

1. I returned to school on Tuesday morning for my second year of classes at the University of North Dakota. (For those of you that know me well, you know how excited I was for this move! Not.)

2. A couple girlfriends and I moved into our first apartment together. It is McEnroe Place IV, located across the street from the Alerus Center. It is a little over one mile for me to walk to school, so it forces me to leave EXTRA early in an effort to be on time.

3. My third and final big move occurred less than one hour ago; I switched my major from Communication and Science Disorders to Managerial Finance and Accounting. I know, from one extreme to the other, huh? This summer forced me to do a lot of thinking and I decided that this would be a better fit for me. I have always been in love with numbers and managing accounts, and I am super excited to see where this will take me.

Well, I guess that's all of the big news that I have for now! Wish me luck and a prayer or two would not hurt either. ;)

Oh, and a big shout out to my little bro Drew for his last first football game tonight! GO BEARCATS!!!
