Megan and I met at Lahainaluna High School when she started in 2013. I was excited to find out there was a new inclusion teacher right next door to me, as the regular teacher was...an interesting character. I went over to introduce myself and welcome Megan to the Math Department. Now looking back and knowing Megan, I got to meet her in one of her moments of pure anxiety and uncontrollable awkwardness/need to agree and say okay to everything because she is in an uncomfortable position. After a few minutes of chit chat, I learned that Megan was an English teacher. I didn't know her extreme aversion to mathematics, as I had not yet heard the story of her stabbing herself in the eyeball with a pencil to get out of math class in high school. The conversation continued, and Megan kept saying "yea it's going to be okay. I'm going to go to Office Max and get some things for the bulletin board" while sweat slowly permeated her upper lip. I thought it was just Lahaina heat. I offered my help and to review any topics with her as she "had not even seen Geometry since high school" (reference pencil-eye story), and I left, hoping we didn't lose another new teacher. We didn't, and Megan stayed at Lahainaluna (in the English Department) for the next four years. I could detail many more stories about getting yelled at by Germans to respect the laws of America or late night antics that usually involve chick mcnugs (go to bed Tal!), but Megan was so much more than a series of anecdotes. Megan became one of my best friends through our time in Maui together. Maui life became a real life with besties, and Megan always pushed us to get out into new adventures. And then eat food and attempt to restrict her beer and gluten intake. She is a soul sister that teaches me to believe in a better version of all that I see around me, including myself. I am so lucky to have been a part of Megan and Jared's life in Hawaii, and I can't wait to be a part of their big day.

From the moment I met Megan, I knew we were soul sistas. I wish I could recount the moment that we actually introduced each other but I'm pretty sure it involved the intoxicating smell of an overly chlorinated pool. Megan and I first met on the swim team at Radford University. It was love at first kickboard... haha! Just kidding! Pretty sure the first time Megan and I actually spoke to each other was at a "team meeting" at the junior captain's house...and by "team meeting" I mean party at someone's house with a Natural light keg (If you don't know what Natural light is, consider yourself lucky but if you do, you know how to keep it classy). We hit it off from the start. We shared a passion for fun, travel, adventure and really bad jokes. We shared countless laughs over stupid team drama, spent endless nights planning dream vacations and approximately one hundred hours perfecting the dance to LMFAO's party rock. Since college we have always found ourselves in different time zones but despite the time difference, we always manage to catch each other on the latest and greatest. I am so thankful to have an amazing friend that will meet you in Nicaragua on a whim and I am so thankful Megan and I have been able to feed our friendship over so many years with adventure. Cheer Megan and Jare Bear! Love you both!

My first journal entry with a mention of Megan was Nov 11, 2013. It read "SPED teacher, Megan, reminds me of me. I need to hang out with her more often. Me, Jared (Kahaialii), Megan, Marc (Watasaki) and Megan's friend Marc (Umayam) went drinking at Moose's then Spanky's then down at Wahikuli beach. Skinny dipping! Jared hit his head on a rock."

We became Facebook official Dec 2013

From the beginning, it's been non-stop adventure. Bonding over school duties - advising freshmen, meetings, chaperoning, saccurity "need to go" to life duties - walking a pup, hiking to waterfalls, camping, traveling, dancing at concerts, swimming at the beach and eating way too much food. Our distance could never break that bond
