The Young Family Five: Jamaican Me Crazy...

This is Megan McCarthy Hicks.. and she is leaving for the Peace Corps...

This post isn't about how Megan is one of the most selfless people, giving away more than two years of her life to help those who are in need... all the way in Jamaica... No, this about how much fun we had right before she left...

It all started a month or so ago when our friend Jenny started to plan a going away party. Megan knew she was having a get together but didn't know who was coming. I wasn't going to be able to make it. I knew from the minute I told Jenny that, I was going to be sooooo sad for missing this last chance to Meg before she left. I just didn't know how I was going to get up there. With the help of friends coordinating rides:) and Jeremy pushing me to go I was able to head up to Tahoe for the big surprise! Megan had friends surprising her throughout the day on friday...that night some friends were taking Megan bowling and that is where I surprised Megan! It was soooo awesome she had no idea I was coming. there were tears!!! lots of happy tears!!

We actually talked the night before and she was trying not to rub it in about her weekend she thought I wasn't coming to:) haha! she was a little mad at me for lying to her. But she got over it:)

Meg's surprise party at The Moose Lodge was Saturday night... she didn't think she was having a "party" party she thought we were all going bar hopping... she thought a bunch of people couldn't come like her mom who supposedly had to work:) so when Jenny just needed to stop by the Moose lodge for a sec, Meg had no idea everyone and their sister (thanks Nicole for coming:) was inside waiting for her . We had a great time she was so surprised! everyone did a great job and I think she felt very loved!
