Meet Megan
It all started in 1978 when I was born to east coast parents who had left cold winters and humid summers to start their married life and a family in Orange County, California. The middle of three kids and the only girl, my growing-up years were filled with sports, church activities and tattling on my brothers. With a few bad outfits, even worse hairstyles and no boyfriends, I survived my teens and graduated from high school with a diploma, the title of “Most Likely to Become a Nun” (as voted on by my senior class) and a strong desire to leave life behind the Orange Curtin and head east, well, southeast to be exact.
Taking my Dad’s advice and not letting my academics get in the way of my education, I made the most of my experience at Furman University where I studied boys, Greek life, the Bible, intramural sports, Political Science and Communications. Post college I was eager for a new adventure and moved to Prague to teach conversational English at a public high school. I fell in love with teaching teens and after two years I moved back home (literally, just down the hall from my parents in the same room where I used to rock out to New Kids on The Block and Whitney Houston) to begin my career as a teacher in Orange County.
Today I have a job that I love teaching World History at the high school where I graduated. I own a little slice of suburbia that I call home. I have friends and family who laugh with me and at me. I’ve been blessed to travel to some of the most amazing parts of the world. And I’ve been given the opportunity to share my stories and perspectives with many people through my writing. I am happy. I truly love life. But in the midst of all of this, I am still searching and waiting for a quality man to share my life with. One who loves God, dessert and weekly trips to Target. My ultimate desire is to be married and start a family. I am learning that I am a work in progress and God’s timing is not my own. In my thirty years on this earth I have grown to trust God’s hand in my life and He has proved faithful. So, I press on embracing the life He has gifted me and looking at what is to come with joyful anticipation.
