Jonny & Meagan’s Sweet & Condensed Podcast: June 29th, 2017

June 29, 2017 *Mornings

We all dream of some day having $1 million. So if you finally had that big million, whether you won it from the lottery or a rich uncle who passed, you have to figure out what to do with it. So if you had a million dollars what sort of charitable thing would you do with that new found money. We got a lot of different ideas from a number of people, all with great ideas. Now we just have to win the lottery so we can make all these BIG ideas happen!... [Read Full Story]

It is wedding season and we are sure you have either been to one recently or you are going to one soon. Sometime when you go there is an open bar and others you go to have a cash bar. Is a cash bar at a wedding tacky? We discussed it in today’s Ask Meagan segment. Plus we talked with some ladies from St. Joseph First United Methodist Church about a Craft and Vintage Show to benefit Devon Haas, a local boy fighting cancer.

So Tuesday has become the new Monday. So we asked everyone, what is your favorite day of the work week. Some said Saturdays, which totally counts for a work day since we are working our butts off 7 days a week and Jonny said every other Wednesday at Midnight because that is pay day! We also talked with United Way and Be Healthy Berrien about the Mobile Farmers Market and the Benton Harbor Farmers Market!... [Read Full Story]

First World Problems. We have all experienced them and we have all seen all the countless memes about First World Problems. Whether it’s something like “the WiFi at my house is too slow” or “I ran out of creamer and had to use milk and sugar for my coffee”. We were also joined by Cornerstone Alliance and All Star Driver Education to talk about job opportunities. Also Kate Thomas stopped by to talk about Steve’s Run!... [Read Full Story]

The Sarah Diaries: One Perfect Date

June 21, 2017 Afternoons, Blogs / Page
In my last blog I told you about being in a funk. it should be no surprise that during that time I had zero dates. Can you blame them though? Going out with someone who’s personality is that of Jane or Daria doesn’t exactly scream “good times ahead!” (Props if you got the name reference!)
The last date I was on was actually pretty perfect. It was the beginning of May, and it was easy. Conversation flowed, there was a physical attraction, but our long term goals didn’t match. The biggest part of his job requires being able to uproot and move as quickly as 13 weeks after arriving. Just long enough to get settled in, then pack up and off you go on the next great adventure!
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fantastic way to see the world, but wow! That’s a lot of packing and unpacking in a short amount of time, over and over and over…
It wasn’t just the job and moving, we were also at two different points in our life. He’s been married and has kids, I’ve been rocking the single world and am looking to settle down and start a family.
Oh, did I mention the location of the next move? It was between two places, Alaska and Arizona. Not to say a LDR can’t or wont work because I have many friends who it has and does! I’m just not the most confident person in them. And yes, before you ask, we did have a frank discussion about trying to make it work, would I move, etc… but both agreed it didn’t feel right.
We ended our date, and I went on my way. We texted a little after, but after a series of failed second date attempts, we stopped chatting. Honestly, I’m pretty ok with how it ended. All things considered, I don’t think I would have changed anything with him. I’m a believer that God put’s people in your life for various reasons, I think this one was to remind me I’m capable of actually having a good date.
Now to find another…

The Sarah Diaries: Case of the Blahs

June 19, 2017 Afternoons, Blogs / Page
I know, I haven’t posted in a while. Not to say I haven’t sat down, opening up my laptop and looked directly at the screen trying to figure out what exactly I was going to write. Hoping by some miracle I’d get inspired. Not the case. Nothing came to me. I’d walk away, head outside, mow, pull some weeds, nap, anything to try and find some inspiration to write. And yet nothing. Its like a mix of writers block and just blah.
Clearly you’ve been feeling the lack of blog love too, as I’ve gotten many requests about when I’m going to post another.
But… this isn’t a normal blog for me. If you’ve interacted with me face to face for the last month or so, you know I haven’t been myself. I’ve been in a funk. I’d tell you it has something to do with seasonal depression, but I’ve never had it hit me when it’s spring/summer out. Winter yes, May and June, no.
My patience has been tried, my attitude crap, and I will even admit to a few outburst – which I will apologize right now for. If I have been anything but my normal upbeat, bubbly self to you – I am truly sorry! (**cough, cough John & Mike cough, cough**)
I have no other explanation than to say I’ve been in a funk, I am aware of it, and I’m working on getting out of it. I’m also working on a vacation, which my hope is that will greatly assist in returning me to “normal”. Meanwhile, any suggestions for how you beat the blues, or even vacation places are gladly welcomed and appreciated!
Cheers!
-Sarah
