April 16th-23rd Vacation of Americana with the fam. Pops is taking mom, G, and Me back East. Stops include Baltimore, Maryland; Gettysburg, Pennsylvania; Philladelphia, Pennsylvania; Washinton, DC; and Williamsburg, Virginia. I am so pumped. My goals-see the ace of cakes bakery, eat a philly steak and cheese sandwich/run up the rocky steps in Philly, see the Giant Panda in the national zoo, go to literally everything in DC, find Josh and Naomi, and take lots of pictures. Most excitingly, Jenn, Aaron and Donna Lee are probs going to meet up with me in DC!!!!! I can't wait. It's been almost two years since I've seen Jenn, and the fact that we are meeting in such a random cool place-it's almost like Sleepless in Seattle where they meet on top of the Empire State Building.
May 6th-10th Another Pilgrimage to Mecca. Jenny and Brent are getting married and I am going to be there. I love them both and am so happy for them. They also promised a dance party for the reception...Also there will be a pilgrimage within a pilgrimage to Moab/Arches National Park. One of my favorite places on earth. I will also get to see my favorite people. My bro Stephen will be there the same weekend for a different wedding. With Jillian and Gretchen in UT already, that makes all the Carr kids together at the same time. IT WILL BE EPIC. Also I will see all my old peeps, roommates Marissa, Monica, Jules, Jenna, etc, Andy, Rachelle, Audrey, Jason, Eric, Leland, Kara, Amy, too many; plus Kira, Austin and Baby Miller Lite if he's not moved to WA by then and living across the yard from me, and Kams if he is still there. I don't know if anyone from here is going with me but I do just fine on 9 1/2 hour road trips by myself.

June 3rd-Fantasy in Portland. Marlena and I are going to see Adele in concert. She is amazing, I love her new cd, and she is great live. Marlena has family in OR so we can stay there, do some shopping. Going to be great!
June 26th-28th Oregon Coast Getaway with the Dablings. My bestie Nikita's family is going to the Oregon Coast. She can't drive down with them. So they want me to come with her. And I get to hang with the crazy Dabling family? Of course I'm in! (I don't know if I am doing this yet, I have to work sometime...)
August 26thI -may-pass-out-from-excitement-beforehand-and-during Trip. Josh. Groban. 12th. Row. I may touch him. My mom, Jillian, and me. Also in Portland, OR. (Holy cow, all the cool stuff is going down in Oregon this summer!) My mom and I are already giddy with excitement we have to remind ourselves that we have 5 1/2 months to go. Sometimes we just yell "JOSHGROBAN12thROW!" to each other. Ahhhhhh!
Please note-I am not writing this to brag. That is far from my intent. I am blessed with a little bit of a disposable income and parents that still take me to things. I am just really excited about life and the awesome things that are heading my way.-Meagan
