In the life of Megan Brown

WHAT A MONTH!!!! I dont deserve my friends! This past month i have been asked by so many of my friends "Do you have somewhere to go for Thanksgiving?" The fact my friends know my parents are in Seattle and some don't know about my Stacie and her husband in the Salt Lake area and ask me if i have a home is so comforting to me. I have such amazing and caring friends that i love so much. Last year we had a Friendsgiving dinner, where each household brought something to share with everyone. As this year came around, i wanted to gather everyone again and have this dinner! I planned for 45 people, assigned food to houses, and brought all of the friends together, and what a humbling experience! Half of these people will be graduating in the spring and it breaks my heart because i have grown so close to so many of them! I cherish all of my friendships so much, and everyone always questions why i take so many pictures.... because i cherish all the memories and friends i make, a

So i had a draft on here about my Marriott life over the summer, but i felt like i gave a good portion of my experiences in my last blog.... But let me just remind you of some things.... 1. Live alone for awhile, you learn a lot about yourself 2. You learn to love your family so much more and what they do for you 3. You meet the most amazing people from all around the world 4. You learn to know who your real friends are that reach out to you even though you are 100+ miles away 5. You learn what your priorities are (making yourself nice dinners, going to church, Fitness, ect) 6. You go on your hikes and adventures and actually have fun by yourself. These are just a few things that i learned from myself from living at Park City by myself, and i am eternally grateful for this opportunity to learn about myself, and taking care of others within the hotels, and making other people a priority instead of myself a priority. Since Marriott is kinda in the past now, i decided to delete

Hello! I apologize, I realize it has been quite some time since i have updated my blog... but here I am now to update you on what has been going on since I have finished school! This fall I will be a Senior at Southern Utah University, and I am continuing with my major of Hotel Resort & Hospitality Management! This is where my blog comes in to play! I accepted a summer internship at the Marriot Vacation Club in Park City, Utah, and this is where I have the opportunity to see if this major is the one for me. I started my internship May 1st, and my first month was amazing. Here are some reasons why I love my job so far: 1. Everyone on staff cares SO much about every customer. 2. We learn to make relationships with customers, and make sure we go out of our way to satisfy every need they have. 3. We get yelled at by customers quite a bit.. but every moment like this is a great learning experience. 4. Some of the customers become your best friends. 5. Everyday is different Tho

BEST BREAK EVER. Ok, so in highschool, spring break consisted of a family vacation going to Disneyland, and 1st year of college i think i went home, and my 2nd year of college i went to St, George Utah. Those are all super fun and all.. but this year was even better. A group of friends all decided we wanted to go to NewPort Beach, California! First of all, i was STOKED! I never had went on a vacation with atlas 35 of my Best Friends. So after my friend Dustin planned everything financially, and planning who was making what meals and sleeping arrangements, we made our way to Cali! The whole week, the only thing that was getting me through school was just the thought of spending the week with my friends! Boys and girls ( i know i know, we were obedient!), and in the wise words from my friend Ammon Harris "came as friends, left as family". I slept in the living room area ( we had to take turns sleeping on the mattresses because the futons were beyond uncomfortable) and just w

Remember in Elementary school when all the guys would try showing off by doing the monkey bars, and then fall and break their arm? Ya.. well that is a mistake for Elementry kids... not 21 year olds that are in college! Once upon a time I went to the gym with my friends, and as we were warming up and stretching, my friend Tori asked if anyone wanted to do the monkey bars, and i said YES because i love the monkey bars! So as i go on the bars after Tori, i am swinging bar to bar, and by the 3rd bar, i was hanging by my right arm to lift up and grab the bar with my left arm, and my right arm slipped right then and there, and i crashed onto the floor and landed right on my left arm, and it was all upper body, none of my lower body landed first.. so it hurt really bad! As i was rolling around yelling and yelling, my friends ran over to check on me, and my friend Ethan from the other side of the gym heard me and came over to see if i was ok.. and i couldn't move! As i was getting evalua
