OPRAH!!!!
I can officially cross it off my bucket list
Do any of you have a list of things you want to do before you "kick the bucket" (AKA bucket list)? Well attending Oprah live was on my list. When my sweet high school friend announced on her blog that she had some extra tickets I told her I would drive to Chicago in a heart beat. After her 13th try on the phone she finally got through (some people wait years on a waiting list). It was a great opportunity for John to take care of things on the homefront while I caught up with a friend that I hadn't seen in six years and attended a live showing of Oprah!!!!! We wore super bright colors and ended up on the second row!!! Look for us on September 15th! Although the topic wasn't exactly what we would have liked (Substance Abuse), we still had a blast! The topic was still very interesting. It was just a cool experience all around. Oprah interviewed Tatum O'Neil and Lisa Ling. We were literally a couch length away from Oprah! It was so fun to see Emily Erickson and meet her friend Alicia too! During a commercial break it was hilarious when Oprah jumped up, kicked her shoes off and said, "I have gotta pee in the worst way!"
Thanks again Megan for such a fun time! Any time you want to visit the exciting state of Indiana let me know!
This is Megan's apartment! Awesome!

Hi Melanie,
Long time no speak. I know we were just getting to know each other when you moved from A.F. I appreciate all the help you rendered to me. You are very kind and I am glad I found your blog.... Hope you remember who I am??
Melanie, I LOVE your blog! I look at it all the time and never comment...but I wanted to tell you how sweet the birthday video for John is. Your family is so adorable!
That is so AWESOME!!!! I have always wanted to go to Oprah. I am so excited for you. I will watch can't wait to see it.
Your so lucky! That is so fun you got to go. All of us girls should try to plan a trip to go together someday. Hey let me know when you guys are coming to Utah this month. I want to try to come and see you guys.
How fun is that?! I think Chicago is just about the coolest city in America, so that is fun anyway - but then to add Oprah on top. Super cool! Why don't you AND Jon AND the girls plan a trip to Puerto Vallarta sometime in the next nine months and my fam and I will meet you there.
