Seriously. AWESOME!<br /><br />Right now, he is in the process of starting his own photography business while working nearly 40 hours a week. He is working hard to make his dream/vision come to pass so that he can support our family. He is an awesome photographer and I can't wait for more people to know!<br /><br />Here is his website (temporarily):<br /><a href="http://www.thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com/">www.thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com</a><br />Here is the link to his Facebook page:<br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Matthew-Morgan-Photography/291610367560931">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Matthew-Morgan-Photography/291610367560931</a><br /><br />He is taking some photographs of his family when they visit us during the second weekend in March and then he is doing a newborn photo shoot for one of our dearest friends on March 12th. Can't wait to see how they turn out. We have been planning together, buying new photography gear as able, and photography props etc. I'll make sure to link to his page when he posts the edited photographs next month!<br /><br /><br />Also, next month on March 26th is my man's 26th birthday---His Golden Birthday!!! I'm super excited because it's a special birthday and you already know I love birthdays!!!<br /><br />We went back and forth about where we would spend his birthday. We considered Pigeon Forge, then camping locally and then decided to go spend a weekend in Columbia, SC. We will have a quick overnight trip but we have some plans for a couple of good restaurants and just some other fun things when we get there. It will be nice to spend that weekend together exploring a new place!<br /><br />I can't wait to tell you about all of our adventures :)<br /><br />Til then-<br />Did YOU Hear about the Morgans?<br /><br /><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-4079679495054779674?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-62902574822133512732012-02-11T11:05:00.000-05:002012-02-11T11:05:00.523-05:00Morgan Family MottoThis week Matt and I were discussing various things and our "life motto" came up. At this season in our lives and possibly forever we decided it was this:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>"Do what you say you will do"</b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">No exception to this. We are noticing this is so limited in our society. People just don't have accountability anymore and don't feel the need to do what they say they will do. We are hoping to hold to this truth for our entire lives.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Til then-</div><div style="text-align: left;">Did YOU Hear about the Morgans? </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-6290257482213351273?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-45968231851914823422012-02-11T10:41:00.000-05:002012-02-11T10:41:00.072-05:00What's been happening!Just realized it has been a while since I blogged about anything.

One of the pastors asked Matt to take pictures after the class of each of the people that attended so that the staff would have a face to go with each name. Matt was excited to do it and he really enjoyed it. When he was finishing up, we started talking about and laughing hysterically about the topic "Things A photographer should not say". Here are a few of the ones we came up with. Hope it makes you laugh too!<br /><br />1. That was good but could you smile next time?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FJ-_9hnx9TI/Ty3L_DvVBFI/AAAAAAAAAxY/zfU4dag9Dt0/s1600/blog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FJ-_9hnx9TI/Ty3L_DvVBFI/AAAAAAAAAxY/zfU4dag9Dt0/s1600/blog.jpg" /></a></div><br />2. Uhhh...could you show me your good side?<br /><br />3. That was...um...nice. Go ahead and take off the mask for the next shot.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B04uDd9t9_A/Ty3MY43m8ZI/AAAAAAAAAxg/vMOY-F3115Y/s1600/blog2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B04uDd9t9_A/Ty3MY43m8ZI/AAAAAAAAAxg/vMOY-F3115Y/s1600/blog2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />4.  Do you always make that face?<br /><br />5. Oh no, we will need to reschedule. You just broke my camera.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GX3g4H9-N3Y/Ty3MyJNTavI/AAAAAAAAAxo/6c4qNoOkJTo/s1600/blog3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GX3g4H9-N3Y/Ty3MyJNTavI/AAAAAAAAAxo/6c4qNoOkJTo/s1600/blog3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />6. Don't worry, I can use photoshop to make you look better.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jemycKDYPog/Ty3NZzYWv5I/AAAAAAAAAxw/yj49JLheWbw/s1600/blog4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jemycKDYPog/Ty3NZzYWv5I/AAAAAAAAAxw/yj49JLheWbw/s1600/blog4.png" /></a></div><br /><br />7. Your children must get their good looks from your spouse.<br /><br />8. Your little boy is so precious....oh, it's a girl?

Each week, she does a Show Us Your Life link up where she allows you to link up to her blog along with others to display or show various things. In the past has been Military moms, People without children, What you are Making/Selling etc. Every few months, she does a link up for "Show Us Your Life Singles" It's so inspiring and a blessing to so many people. Many people have met, been on dates, been engaged and some are even married now. It's just a great thing.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></div>Well, I decided that I wanted to participate this time! I'm not single but I have plenty of wonderful friends and some of them are single. Today, I wanted to share about my friend, Brian.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q-du3eV4FC4/Ty2G-vUxIYI/AAAAAAAAAwo/o_TN-uewUd0/s1600/bp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-q-du3eV4FC4/Ty2G-vUxIYI/AAAAAAAAAwo/o_TN-uewUd0/s1600/bp.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Brian, a 30-something, male is a resident of Birmingham, Alabama. He is one of 3 brothers and an incredible guy who LOVES his family. I met Brian 3+ years ago at a Young Professionals Small Group with <a href="http://www.churchofthehighlands.com/" target="_blank">Church of the Highlands</a>. We immediately became friends and despite 2 moves and a marriage for me and many life changes for him, we have remained close friends.<br /><br />Brian works for a company called <a href="http://printswell.com/" target="_blank">PrintsWell, Inc</a> in Birmingham and is a jack of all trades there. Brian loves to decorate, remodel/renovate houses (others and his own). He sings incredibly (sang at my wedding) and sings each Sunday at Church of the Highlands. He is funny and knows how to have a good time.<br /><br />Over the years, Brian and I have spent time praying for the Lord to send him an incredible wife to compliment him. I am anxious to see the Lord fulfill that. Because I know that Brian will make an awesome husband for some lady out there. Maybe it is one of you reading today. Feel free to contact me via this post or e-mail Brian directly @ Bponds@yahoo.com Can't wait to see what happens!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5QYpC28mT4M/Ty2G-x4_PjI/AAAAAAAAAww/P69ikDaBuuc/s1600/bp1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5QYpC28mT4M/Ty2G-x4_PjI/AAAAAAAAAww/P69ikDaBuuc/s320/bp1.jpg" width="243" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Look at those pearly whites!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6ViDWLjLNbA/Ty2G_ZNvUHI/AAAAAAAAAw4/dK83wKEtyHg/s1600/bp2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6ViDWLjLNbA/Ty2G_ZNvUHI/AAAAAAAAAw4/dK83wKEtyHg/s320/bp2.jpg" width="277" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Loving on his niece</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i4gETPuP534/Ty2G__eknkI/AAAAAAAAAxA/HaRC--x6jKc/s1600/bp3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i4gETPuP534/Ty2G__eknkI/AAAAAAAAAxA/HaRC--x6jKc/s1600/bp3.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Brian with his grandmother</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sHD9guxKJmM/Ty2HAVR2eCI/AAAAAAAAAxI/s6XbeZv70iI/s1600/bp4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sHD9guxKJmM/Ty2HAVR2eCI/AAAAAAAAAxI/s6XbeZv70iI/s320/bp4.jpg" width="310" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Goofing off (that's me)</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R0r3eLlaoqg/Ty2HAz6wu5I/AAAAAAAAAxQ/P2EPkfO8b3A/s1600/bp5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R0r3eLlaoqg/Ty2HAz6wu5I/AAAAAAAAAxQ/P2EPkfO8b3A/s320/bp5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Always the life of the party!</div><br /><br />Til then-<br />Did YOU Hear about the Morgans?<br /><br /><br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-1952549917588334870?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-37952289359070530282012-01-27T17:24:00.000-05:002012-01-27T17:24:18.216-05:00Our Etsy ShopToday, Kelly is linking up people who own Etsy shops or sell items that they have made.

It was a bit rainy so I had my head slightly down and I was walking briskly so I didn't get wet. As I was walking, I glanced up and saw an animal crossing the sidewalk about 10-15 feet in front of me. I thought it was one of the local cats so I kept walking. I quickly glanced back up and realized that it wasn't a cat at all, IT WAS A SKUNK! I immediately slammed on my brakes and quietly waited for it to walk past me. He kept moving and I RAN to my car, slammed the door and thanked JESUS that I didn't get sprayed.<br /><br />It was a near SKUNK experience and I'm glad to say that I didn't have to bathe in tomato juice today!<br /><br />Til then-<br />Did You Hear About the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-5617621382108815200?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-82343830892263525932012-01-16T10:47:00.001-05:002012-01-16T10:47:09.034-05:00Love is a not a fight...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://2.gvt0.com/vi/rwK73QbNPKo/0.jpg"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rwK73QbNPKo&fs=1&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rwK73QbNPKo&fs=1&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>This morning, I had this song in my head and just remembered how much I love it.

font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 16pt;">here was a certain Professor of Religion named Dr. Christianson, a studious man who taught at a small college in the western United States .<br /><br />Dr. Christianson taught the required survey course in Christianity at this particular institution.<br />Every student was required to take this course their freshman year, regardless of his or her major.<br /><br />Although Dr. Christianson tried hard to communicate the essence of the gosBrady@fumcpel in his class, he found that<br />most of his students looked upon the course as nothing but required drudgery.  Despite his best efforts, most students refused to take Christianity seriously.<br /><br />This year, Dr. Christianson had a special student named Steve.  Steve was only a freshman, but was<br />studying with the intent of going onto seminary for the ministry.  Steve was popular, he was well liked, and he was an imposing physical specimen.  He was now the starting center on the school football<br />team, and was the best student in the professor's class.<br /><br />One day, Dr. Christianson asked Steve to stay after class so he could talk with him.<br /><br />"How many push-ups can you do?"<br /><br />Steve said, "I do about 200 every night."<br /><br />"200? That's pretty good, Steve," Dr. Christianson said. "Do you think you could do 300?"<br /><br />Steve replied, "I don't know.... I've never done 300 at a time"<br /><br />"Do you think you could?" again asked Dr. Christianson.<br /><br />"Well, I can try," said Steve.<br /><br />"Can you do 300 in sets of 10? I have a class project in mind and I need you to do about 300<br />push-ups in sets of ten for this to work.  Can you do it? I need you to<br />tell me you can do it," said the professor. <br /><br />Steve said, "Well... I think I can...yeah, I can do it."<br /><br />Dr. Christianson said, "Good! I need you to do this on Friday.. Let me explain what I have in mind."<br /><br />Friday came and Steve got to class early and sat in the front of the room.  When class started, the<br />professor pulled out a big box of donuts.  No, these weren't the normal kinds of donuts, they were the extra fancy BIG kind, with cream centers and frosting swirls.  Everyone was pretty excited it was Friday, the last class of the day, and they were going to get an early start on the weekend with<br />a party in Dr. Christianson's class.<br /><br />Dr. Christianson went to the first girl in the first row and asked, "Cynthia, do you want to have one of<br />these donuts?"<br /><br />Cynthia said, "Yes."<br /><br />Dr. Christianson then turned to Steve and asked, "Steve, would you do ten push-ups so that Cynthia can<br />have a donut?"<br /><br />"Sure!" Steve jumped down from his desk to do a quick ten.  Then Steve again sat in his desk.<br />Dr. Christianson put a donut on Cynthia's desk.<br /><br />Dr. Christianson then went to Joe, the next person, and asked, "Joe, do you want a donut?"<br /><br />Joe said, "Yes."  Dr. Christianson asked, "Steve would you do ten push-ups so Joe can have a donut?"<br /><br />Steve did ten push-ups, Joe got a donut.  And so it went, down the first aisle, Steve did ten push-ups for every person before they got their donut.<br /><br />Walking down the second aisle, Dr. Christianson came to Scott.  Scott was on the basketball team,<br />and in as good condition as Steve.  He was very popular and never lacking for female companionship..<br /><br />When the professor asked, "Scott do you want a donut?"<br /><br />Scott's reply was, "Well, can I do my own push-ups?"<br /><br />Dr. Christianson said, "No, Steve has to do them."<br /><br />Then Scott said, "Well, I don't want one then."<br /><br />Dr... Christianson shrugged and then turned to Steve and asked, "Steve, would you do ten push-ups<br />so Scott can have a donut he doesn't want?"<br /><br />With perfect obedience Steve started to do ten push-ups.<br /><br />Scott said, "HEY! I said I didn't want one!"<br /><br />Dr.. Christianson said, "Look! This is my classroom, my class, my desks, and these are my donuts.<br />Just leave it on the desk if you don't want it."  And he put a donut on Scott's desk.<br /><br />Now by this time, Steve had begun to slow down a little.  He just stayed on the floor between sets because it took too much effort to be getting up and down.  You could start to see a little perspiration coming out around his brow.<br /><br />Dr. Christianson started down the third row. Now the students were beginning to get a little angry.  Dr.. Christianson asked Jenny, "Jenny, do you want a donut?"<br /><br />Sternly, Jenny said, "No."<br /><br />Then Dr. Christianson asked Steve, "Steve, would you do ten more push-ups so Jenny can have a donut<br />that she doesn't want?"<br /><br />Steve did ten....Jenny got a donut.<br /><br />By now, a growing sense of uneasiness filled the room.  The students were beginning to say, "No!" and there were all these uneaten donuts on the desks..<br /><br />Steve also had to really put forth a lot of extra effort to get these push-ups done for each donut.<br />There began to be a small pool of sweat on the floor beneath his face, his arms and brow were beginning to get red because of the physical effort involved.<br /><br />Dr. Christianson asked Robert, who was the most vocal unbeliever in the class, to watch Steve do each<br />push up to make sure he did the full ten push-ups in a set because he couldn't bear to watch all of Steve's work for all of those uneaten donuts.  He sent Robert over to where Steve was so Robert count the set and watch Steve closely.<br /><br />Dr. Christianson started down the fourth row..  During his class, however, some students from other classes had wandered in and sat down on the steps along the radiators that ran down the sides of the room.  When the professor realized this, he did a quick count and saw that now there were 34 students in<br />the room.  He started to worry if Steve would be able to make it.<br /><br />Dr. Christianson went on to the next person and the next and the next.  Near the end of that row,<br />Steve was really having a rough time.  He was taking a lot more time to complete each set.<br /><br />Steve asked Dr. Christianson, "Do I have to make my nose touch on each one?"<br /><br />Dr. Christianson thought for a moment, "Well, they're your push-ups.  You are in charge now.<br />You can do them any way that you want."  And Dr. Christianson went on.<br /><br />A few moments later, Jason, a recent transfer student, came to the room and was about to<br />come in when all the students yelled in one voice, "NO!

Jason, bewildered, was handed a donut and sat<br />down.<br /><br />Dr Christianson finished the fourth row, and then started on those visitors seated by the heaters.  Steve's arms were now shaking with each push-up in a struggle to lift himself against the force of gravity.  By this time sweat was profusely dropping off of his face, there was no sound except his heavy<br />breathing; there was not a dry eye in the room..<br /><br />The very last two students in the room were two young women, both cheerleaders, and very popular.  Dr. Christianson went to Linda, the second to last, and asked, "Linda, do you want a doughnut?"<br /><br />Linda said, very sadly, "No, thank you."<br /><br />Professor Christianson quietly asked, "Steve, would you do ten push-ups so that Linda can have a donut<br />she doesn't want?"<br /><br />Grunting from the effort, Steve did ten very slow push-ups for Linda.<br /><br />Then Dr. Christianson turned to the last girl, Susan.  "Susan, do you want a donut?"<br /><br />Susan, with tears flowing down her face, began to cry.  "Dr. Christianson, why can't I help<br />him?"<br /><br />Dr Christianson, with tears of his own, said, "No, Steve has to do it alone; I have given him this task and he is in charge of seeing that everyone has an opportunity for a donut whether they want it or not..  When I decided to have a party this last day of class, I looked at my grade book.  Steve here is the only student with a perfect grade.  Everyone else has failed a test, skipped class, or offered me inferior work.  Steve told me that in football practice, when a player messes up he must do push-ups. I told Steve that none of you could come to my party unless he paid the price by doing your push-ups.  He and I made a deal for your sakes."<br /><br />"Steve, would you do ten push-ups so Susan can have a donut?"<br /><br />As Steve very slowly finished his last push-up, with the understanding that he had accomplished all<br />that was required of him, having done 350 push-ups, his arms buckled beneath him and he fell to the floor.<br /><br />Dr. Christianson turned to the room and said, "And so it was, that our Savior, Jesus Christ, on the<br />cross, plead to the Father, 'Into thy hands I commend my spirit.'  With the understanding that He had done everything that was required of Him, He yielded up His life.  And like some of those in this room, many of us leave the gift on the desk, uneaten. "<br /><br />Two students helped Steve up off the floor and to a seat, physically exhausted, but wearing a thin<br />smile.<br /><br />"Well done, good and faithful servant," said the professor, adding, "Not all sermons are<br />preached in words."<br /><br />Turning to his class, the professor said, "My wish is that you might understand and fully comprehend all<br />the riches of grace and mercy that have been given to you through the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  He spared not His Only Begotten Son, but gave Him up for us all, for the whole Church, now and forever.  Whether or not we choose to accept His gift to us, the price has been paid."<br /><br />"Wouldn't you be foolish and ungrateful to leave it lying on the desk?" </span></i></b></div><div align="center" class="yiv1977655338ecxyiv295301078msonormal" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px;

If you're choking on an ice cube simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat. Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself<br /><br />    2. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold while you chop.<br /><br />    3.

I've been keeping these in my e-mail in a folder because most of them are funny and I want to look back at them when I need a laugh. However, having all of those e-mails is starting to bug me. I decided I'd post some of them as blog posts and just delete the rest. There may be many posts to come today that is just randomness and posted just for my benefit :)<br /><br />Here's a brave cowboy...hahaha<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t1h-ClafYC4/TwxFjG2kJCI/AAAAAAAAAqc/Q53yf3MF8lw/s1600/securedownload.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t1h-ClafYC4/TwxFjG2kJCI/AAAAAAAAAqc/Q53yf3MF8lw/s320/securedownload.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Til then-<br />Did YOU hear about the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-7578106517187241467?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-16850695661743702962012-01-07T16:42:00.004-05:002012-01-07T16:44:42.914-05:00A Quick Shout outLast Month, Matt and I went into downtown Spartanburg and attended the Holiday Hoopla where lots of local artists from within a 1 hour radius had gathered to show off their goods. We saw so many things we loved and Matt ended up surprising me with some earrings from one of the people who was there. He ordered them on Etsy at her shop and he had to message her to ask for sterling silver hooks since my ears are sensitive. He told me that the whole process was done in 30 minutes including him messaging her requesting different backs, her responding to him with a new price and him completing the order. On top of that, she completed them and mailed them to him within 3 days. WOW!!! Just yesterday, I ordered another pair in black/grey because I'm so pleased with the ones Matt got me. Now I have two pair of earrings that I can wear on a daily basis that are super cute and don't make my ears itch! And in case you are wondering, I gave my mom all of my old earrings that bothered my ears! She was one happy Gal!<br /><br />Check out <a href="http://www.etsy.com/people/OnceAgainSam" target="_blank">OnceAgainSam</a> on Etsy and order some earrings from her! Tell her we sent you. Nothing like supporting a local SC girl just trying to make her way :)<br /><br />Here are the earrings...horrible picture quality, I know, but I was inspired to write a post so I just took a quick pic with photobooth!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SuwHDclKNi8/Twi8QDVR0sI/AAAAAAAAAqU/nkzl4FPPjlw/s1600/Photo+on+2012-01-07+at+16.35.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SuwHDclKNi8/Twi8QDVR0sI/AAAAAAAAAqU/nkzl4FPPjlw/s320/Photo+on+2012-01-07+at+16.35.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Til then-<br />Did YOU hear about the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-1685069566174370296?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-40250744417906918742012-01-04T19:24:00.002-05:002012-01-04T20:00:11.982-05:00Holly Jolly Christmas Swap!

But it is very true.<br /><br />On this day last year, Matt and I were married at House on the Rock in Amite, Louisiana. After slightly under a year of courting/dating we tied the knot. It was a special time but boy am I glad we don't have to plan/have another wedding. It was work :) Just like marriage is. Imagine that...haha.<br /><br />This day, January 1, 2012, marks one year of marriage. Wow.<br /><br />Now about the title, If you know us then you know this story already but if you don't KNOW us then you might not. Either way, I'm sharing. When I was just a teenager, God burdened my heart about purity. He taught me a lot and somewhere along the path, he told me that I must wait until marriage to kiss any man. WHAT?!? That's what I was thinking anyway. Honestly, it was the best decision of my life. Knowing now that the ONLY man I have ever kissed and ever will kiss is Matthew Morgan. Well, that's a special feeling.<br /><br />So, here's to one year of smooching and many more!<br /><br />Here are a few pictures from our first year.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Matt and I talked about doing this for a while and then we decided to do a 20+12 in 2012. In other words, 32 goals in the year of 2012. After discussing further, we ultimately decided that a 101 in 1001 days was the best option. Why? Well, 1001 days gives you a span of 2+ years to accomplish goals. Because of that you can add some longer term goals that you will have time to accomplish. You get the picture I'm sure.<br /><br />Our list will span from 1/1/12 (our first anniversary) to 9/28/14 (1001 days later). Our list is in completely random order. We chose to do 51 goals together and 25 each separately. It's more fun that way (we think) :)<br /><br />Enough said about that, here is our list.<br /><br /><b>Our Goals</b><br /><br />1.

MondayI thought I'd give this a try again this week :)<br /><br /><b>NEVER </b>would I go to my computer to do something and completely forget what it was approximately 50% of the time. That would never happen to me on a Sunday afternoon. I remember everything well!<br /><br />My husband and I <b>didn't</b> buy a Buick this week and we certainly <b>haven't</b> been cracking jokes all week about driving an "old person" car. Nope, not us.<br /><br />I absolutely <b>didn't</b> wrap every single solitary gift I got for my husband including stocking stuffers just because I wanted him to have a lot of gifts under the tree. <b>No</b>, that is ridiculous.<br /><br />This past Wednesday night, my husband and I definitely <b>didn't </b>dance in the living room for 20 minutes practicing our "dips" and then wake up the next morning sore. <b>No,</b> that's absurd.<br /><br />And I surely <b>didn't </b>cry when I was looking at an album of some people I barely know depicting the events of when they got engaged. <b>NO!</b> that would have been a complete waste of time.<br /><br />There are tons more but I'll save them for another time so I <b>DO NOT</b> embarrass myself too much. :)<br /><br /><br />Til Then-<br />Did YOU Hear about the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-7583647258864319365?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-41433530070584644442011-12-10T22:13:00.001-05:002011-12-11T11:18:36.004-05:00Who Are you?? WHO? WHO??(That's my CSI themed title in case you were wondering :))<br /><br />Today, I was reading some blogs as I do on most typical days and I started thinking about how awesome the blogging community is. I mean, really, it gives you the opportunity to learn about and from some of the most amazing people alive. It allows you to connect with people just like you whether you are single, a newlywed, a new mom, middle-aged etc. It's just awesome.<br /><br />Recently, I've expanded my blog reading because I've found some new blogs that are heavily followed and do several link-ups etc. Because of this, I have had more people reading my blog. I know some of these people are now following me via Blogger, others through Google Connect possibly and maybe there are others too.<br /><br />So, I was wanting to ask you a favor. If you are reading this blog and you are not a family member of mine, will you comment on this post or send me at e-mail at slpleslieanne(at)yahoo(dot)com? It would mean a lot to me. I'd love to know who all is reading on a regular basis.<br /><br />Thank you ahead of time. :)<br /><br />Oh and before I go, I'll leave you with a fun/funny picture. This past week, my husband and I bought a used car. A Buick in fact :). Here's the proof. I love him.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pqwYvtCCKAo/TuQhJYgqjlI/AAAAAAAAAmI/_lktKZ0X_W4/s1600/IMG_9194.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pqwYvtCCKAo/TuQhJYgqjlI/AAAAAAAAAmI/_lktKZ0X_W4/s320/IMG_9194.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />Til then-<br />Did YOU hear about the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-4143353007058464444?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-1624916691494807222011-12-09T18:09:00.001-05:002011-12-09T18:15:32.574-05:00Favorite Holiday RecipeLinking up with Kelly at <a href="http://Kellyskornerblog.com/">Kellyskornerblog.com</a> for SUYL Friday!!<br /><br />I have a ton of recipes that I love to cook but recently Matt and I came across a recipe for Sopapilla Cheesecake.

If you're choking on an ice cube simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat. Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself<br /><br />    2. Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold while you chop.<br /><br />    3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. About lifting the toilet seat by using the sink.<br /><br />    4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few minutes, thus reducing the pressure in your veins. Remember to use a timer.<br /><br />    5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.<br /><br />    6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you'll be afraid to cough.<br /><br />    7. You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.<br /><br />    8. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.<br /><br />Daily Thought: SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS<br /><br />    If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.</span></div><div><span style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></div></div></blockquote><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: small;">I know some of these are crude but I couldn't help myself!</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: small;">Til Then-</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: small;">Did YOU hear about the Morgans? </span><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-3266736535912687896?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-43601981629229764162011-12-05T13:08:00.001-05:002011-12-05T13:15:44.817-05:00Not Me! MondayFor the last four years, I have enjoyed reading blogs. I started reading them before I even considered writing one myself. It's fun to read and learn about other people's lives as they are willing to share. Recently, it has helped me make connections with new people in the blogging world etc. I enjoy it.<br /><br />One of the blogs I enjoy reading is McMama's <a href="http://www.mckmama.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>. I have always enjoyed her blog. She can be controversial at times but that's the fun in blogging. If you read something you don't like you shrug your shoulders and move on. She and her husband are believers and have 5 children. Anyway, neat and long story to their lives. Check out her blog if you are interested.<br /><br />Every Monday, she writes a post called "Not Me". It's super fun and I've considered linking up to it several times but never have. Today, I thought I would give it a try.<br /><br />This morning, I most certainly NOT get so involved in telling a story to my husband in the car that I hit him in the eye. Nope, NOT ME!<br /><br />Last week, I never even thought about putting various refrigerated items into the pantry instead of the refrigerator because I'm not used to our new apartment yet. No, I would NEVER do that!<br /><br />Lastly, I did not scream at the computer when I was watching the LSU vs UGA game because the announcers were ANNOYING me. NO! Does that sound like something I would do?! ;-)<br /><br /><br />I wish I had more of these fun statements or well, maybe I don't :)<br /><br />Til then-<br />Did You Hear About the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-4360198162922976416?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-49299562272056045742011-12-03T16:05:00.001-05:002011-12-03T16:10:13.755-05:00The Morgan Family- 2011 Christmas OrnamentToday, Matt and I went downtown in Spartanburg for a Holiday Handmade Hoopla. It was an awesome exhibition of some local people who have AMAZING talent. We didn't buy much because our budget is tight but we got some business cards and names of Etsy shops so we can purchase things later if we want. We also got a great idea for a birthday gift for our brother-in-law.<br /><br />We did buy one thing and we are super excited about it! We bought a handmade birdhouse ornament. Here is a photograph of our precious ornament courtesy of my husband. Isn't his photography amazing? I think so!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fu0KzxD0WXM/TtqQDagGLmI/AAAAAAAAAmA/CWzrgHD5RlQ/s1600/2011+Dec+3+Birdhouse+Ornament_0004+copy+low+res.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fu0KzxD0WXM/TtqQDagGLmI/AAAAAAAAAmA/CWzrgHD5RlQ/s320/2011+Dec+3+Birdhouse+Ornament_0004+copy+low+res.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br />Happy Saturday and Geaux Tigers!<br /><br />Til Then-<br />Did You Hear About the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-4929956227205604574?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-40673455953255203282011-12-02T08:46:00.001-05:002011-12-02T08:51:33.342-05:00Christmas TraditionsSince this is our first Christmas as a married couple, we have been talking about new traditions we want to start together as well as some that we can start now and carry on with our kids once we have them. Matt read about a family who wraps up 25 books at the start of December and each night, one book is unwrapped and read. I thought this was great since I LOVE children's books and collect them. Matt said "we may not be able to do it this year because we don't have any books". I immediately went to our children's book bookshelf. I found 14 Christmas books! We started last night and I hope we will continue it until Christmas day. We have our eyes out for some inexpensive or even used Christmas books to add to our collection. So excited.<br /><br />Here is what we read first!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W36NINe6yK8/TtjXmRayOQI/AAAAAAAAAl4/DlJcCUiBkRg/s1600/candy+cane.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W36NINe6yK8/TtjXmRayOQI/AAAAAAAAAl4/DlJcCUiBkRg/s1600/candy+cane.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Such a sweet story.

This is fine but is just taking a little adjusting. One huge perk is that it has a FIREPLACE! My last apartment before we got married had a gas fireplace but the living room was situated so that it was impossible to have a fire and still have furniture in the living room. Bummer, right!?<br /><br />Matt was super excited about having a fireplace, as was I. This past Monday, Matt went to W@l-Mart and came back and said "I have a surprise". These surprises always excite me. It can be anything from a new magazine, some chocolate, bubble bath, etc. Well, this time is was an ARTIFICIAL LOG! My manly man was ready to build a fire!<br /><br />Shortly after his venture out on Monday, he got sick with a stomach bug and was down for the count for nearly 48 hours (sad face). Tonight, he was feeling a tiny bit better so we decided it was the perfect time to build a fire. Here are some pictures! We hope to build bigger and better fires throughout the winter but we have to find a good/cheap place to buy firewood when needed.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lSJyxUsN2ck/TtbCs9dhISI/AAAAAAAAAi4/UJM5tmwmZAE/s1600/thanksgiving0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lSJyxUsN2ck/TtbCs9dhISI/AAAAAAAAAi4/UJM5tmwmZAE/s320/thanksgiving0001.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--QDA6agbbAM/TtbCuFmnZzI/AAAAAAAAAjA/xjicIKvb2Ec/s1600/thanksgiving0002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--QDA6agbbAM/TtbCuFmnZzI/AAAAAAAAAjA/xjicIKvb2Ec/s320/thanksgiving0002.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b4ZBNmyHG-w/TtbCvABkKtI/AAAAAAAAAjI/SYXIp0oSWWE/s1600/thanksgiving0003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b4ZBNmyHG-w/TtbCvABkKtI/AAAAAAAAAjI/SYXIp0oSWWE/s320/thanksgiving0003.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Til Then-<br />Did You Hear About the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-7446563922244187354?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-8032555500094059992011-11-29T14:35:00.001-05:002011-11-29T14:44:42.847-05:00An update and a start on Thanksgiving funI did so well updating each day until we moved last week. As you know, when you move life gets crazy! We have been here for a week and are settled in well. I'll post pictures of the apartment we live in as well as our Christmas decorations ASAP.<br /><br />But first, I want to share about Thanksgiving. I don't have a ton of time or access to all of the food pictures we took yet but I wanted to share our Thanksgiving breakfast for today.<br /><br />We had Pumpkin Spice Cake Muffins with Chocolate chips!<br /><br />I'm sure if you are on Pinterest you have seen them floating around everywhere. I saw them a ton right before Thanksgiving but then someone blogged about making them and I was hooked. The common recipe doesn't have chocolate chips but I think it was the perfect addition.<br /><br />Recipe:<br /><br />1 box of Spice Cake mix<br /><br />1 15 ounce can of Pumpkin<br /><br />1 cup of milk chocolate chips<br /><br />Mix cake mix and pumpkin together with a hand mixer. Fold in chocolate chips. Fill muffin tins/cups 2/3 full and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. They were divine. I don't have the picture of ours available. Here is one from Pinterest.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C8nA8AtxbsE/TtU1pJcZrtI/AAAAAAAAAiw/8BPNfob00QE/s320/pumpkin+muffins.jpg" width="320" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2009/09/easy-pumpkin-chocolate-chip-muffins/">via</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We loved them and I hope you will too. Let me know if you try them. By the way, I plan to make them again soon with chocolate cake mix.

In other ways, it's not surprising at all. <br /><br />This Thanksgiving is a special one because it is a "first" one. This Thanksgiving is our first Thanksgiving as a married couple!! We are so excited to spend the day just the two of us. <br /><br />We have been in the midst of such a large transition (and still are) with my quitting my job here, deciding to move, preparing to move and within the next few days, actually moving! We are so ready to be in Spartanburg and be settled into our new place and our new adventure. It is HARD living with everything you own in boxes as you prepare to move. <br /><br />Tomorrow, we load our moving truck with all of our material belongings. We will spend two days cleaning our apartment and saying the last of our good-byes to Montgomery. We will stay Sunday night with Matt's grandparents and then we will move in to our place on Monday morning. <br /><br />Tuesday will be spent getting Internet hooked up, a job meeting/interview, HUGE grocery shopping trip (which I'm thrilled about!) and putting up our Christmas decorations!!! <br /><br />We are considering the next 10 days after that our time of relaxation, refreshment and just enjoying our time<br />Together. It's sure to be wonderful!<br /><br />Til then-<br />Did You Hear About the Morgan's? <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-8680784955222339449?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-35340224635934999272011-11-16T13:41:00.001-05:002011-11-16T13:41:02.530-05:00National Blog Posting Month Take 16Just a little funny for the day...<br /><br />The newest addition to Bryant Denny Stadium. :-) <br /><br /><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8h8gbNJvufk/TsQDva9HnxI/AAAAAAAAAio/Nzl9a7L9jEY/s640/blogger-image--1736672616.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8h8gbNJvufk/TsQDva9HnxI/AAAAAAAAAio/Nzl9a7L9jEY/s640/blogger-image--1736672616.jpg" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-3534022463593499927?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-62359532066732107482011-11-15T16:44:00.001-05:002011-11-15T16:45:23.278-05:00National Blog Posting month Take 15Today is a great day!

That means that the Mr. and I will pack up and move in 12 days. It is CRAZY exciting that God has given us this opportunity for a new adventure and we are grateful although we don't know very many of the details.<br /><br />At the same time as it is exciting, it is a bit bittersweet too. Matt and I will move from the only "home" we have known together. We have lived in this apartment in Montgomery since we returned from our honeymoon so it's a bit sad. HOWEVER, we will not really miss our neighbors. They are incredibly loud at the worst times and we won't miss that. We know it's one of the joys of living in apartments and that it is possible that our next apartment may have a noisy neighbor too. So we will just deal with it until it's time for us to have a house of our own.<br /><br />12 days left in Montgomery. 12 days until we move into our new apartment in Spartanburg. 13 days until we put up our Christmas tree and 15 days until we celebrate our first Thanksgiving as a married couple. Can't wait to cook that meal!<br /><br />Til then-<br />Did You Hear About the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-1619489066777588408?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-13027116248639784542011-11-08T09:32:00.000-05:002011-11-08T09:32:36.338-05:00National Blog Posting Month Take 8Just some ramblings for the day!<br /><br />This National Blog Posting Month is pretty fun. I hope I can keep it up throughout the next 22  days.<br /><br />Matt and I are planning to write a 101 in 1001 list to begin on January 1, 2012. This will be an excellent way of personal growth as well as having lots of fun.<br /><br />I loved the Blog Link-up that I participated in last Friday over at <a href="http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/">Kelly's Korner</a> and I found so many blogs that are like this one. I'm excited to follow those blogs and participate more with them in the near future.<br /><br />We are moving in 12 days! AHHHHHHH AND WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!! Matt and I are so excited but you know any change can be slightly nerve-wracking just because of all of the details.<br /><br />Our apartment is currently overtaken by boxes which is both a good and not so good thing. It's good because it means we are essentially packed up 2 weeks before we move but it's not so good because I feel like the boxes are closing in on me! :)<br /><br />Well, that's all for today.<br /><br />Til Then-<br />Did You Hear About the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-1302711624863978454?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-77772426677663972322011-11-07T19:48:00.002-05:002011-11-07T19:49:19.773-05:00A neat God-momentLast year for Christmas I gave the Mr. (who was not the Mr. yet) a calendar. For each month, there was something special that we would do for that month. Also, on various days throughout each month there were written smaller special/fun things to do.<br /><br />On the calendar for today was "Ice Cream". This would normally not be a big deal but since our budget is so tight as we prepare to move and we aren't really grocery shopping much, we don't have any. And we don't really need to go out and buy any either. We decided we would just wait until another time.<br /><br />WELL, today, Matt got to work and in the break room there was a sign that said "Great Job making sales plan last week!! Help yourself to some ice cream and all the fixins!!" Matt was able to eat ice cream on his break and because of how much there was left, he was able to bring me some too!<br /><br />I WAS IN HOG HEAVEN!!!!<br /><br />God is GOOD, I must confess!<br /><br />Til then-<br />Did You Hear About the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-7777242667766397232?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-7590760001117889812011-11-07T10:17:00.001-05:002011-11-07T10:18:31.694-05:00National Blog Posting Month Take 7For those of you who know me, you know that I LOVE TO COOK.<br /><br />It's a part of who I am. My grandmother loved to cook and was excellent at it. My mom doesn't love to cook but she can cook some great dishes when she does. One of my mentors, Ellen, is an excellent cook and makes dishes from nothing it seems. It's just part of who I am.<br /><br />However, since we made the decision to move to South Carolina, we have really been watching our pennies and also limiting our grocery shopping to almost nothing in an effort to eat all we have before we move.<br /><br />I have actually been pretty impressed with the dishes I've made from such limited ingredients. supercook.com has definitely helped!!!! That being said, I'm looking for some new recipes for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays since I'll actually be able to cook again.<br /><br />Share with me your favorite recipes. Appetizers. Entrees. Salads.

Jill Michelle Himel Soderstrom.<br /><br />Jill and I have been friends since pre-school. Best friends through thick and thin. We have been next to each other even when we were (are) far away. It's a friendship that truly is God-ordained. No other way to explain it.<br /><br />I'm so proud of who Jill has become as a woman, a wife, a professional, and a daughter of Christ.<br /><br />She is incredible!<br /><br />Happy Birthday, JILL!!! Love you to pieces.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gUV6UYKDXZ0/TrbrbfoVQWI/AAAAAAAAAhs/MgZDH3Qtc7s/s1600/1-1-11+wedding+030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gUV6UYKDXZ0/TrbrbfoVQWI/AAAAAAAAAhs/MgZDH3Qtc7s/s320/1-1-11+wedding+030.JPG" width="212" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bAn_hiWW8mw/TrbrdJ7eNZI/AAAAAAAAAh0/qZ3c5Q5QiwA/s1600/1-1-11+wedding+031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bAn_hiWW8mw/TrbrdJ7eNZI/AAAAAAAAAh0/qZ3c5Q5QiwA/s320/1-1-11+wedding+031.JPG" width="227" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Cf4qHr2vtps/Trbreb_L3QI/AAAAAAAAAh8/Mbpu7gkZEO8/s1600/1-1-11+wedding+032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="206" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Cf4qHr2vtps/Trbreb_L3QI/AAAAAAAAAh8/Mbpu7gkZEO8/s320/1-1-11+wedding+032.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ShCM19bTrZs/TrbrfvsOjlI/AAAAAAAAAiE/Hi414ESVnLE/s1600/1-1-11+wedding+033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ShCM19bTrZs/TrbrfvsOjlI/AAAAAAAAAiE/Hi414ESVnLE/s320/1-1-11+wedding+033.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5tTtl9vnEaU/TrbrlO_K3ZI/AAAAAAAAAiM/H66GR3Ha8Uk/s1600/1-1-11+wedding+035.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5tTtl9vnEaU/TrbrlO_K3ZI/AAAAAAAAAiM/H66GR3Ha8Uk/s320/1-1-11+wedding+035.JPG" width="212" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_C4bzmJtcn8/TrbrqxHzX1I/AAAAAAAAAiU/idgpsu2A2CA/s1600/1-1-11+wedding+036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_C4bzmJtcn8/TrbrqxHzX1I/AAAAAAAAAiU/idgpsu2A2CA/s320/1-1-11+wedding+036.JPG" width="212" /></a></div><br /><br />Til Then-<br />Did You Hear About the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-1996570108326761623?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-36795324364217947762011-11-06T00:09:00.001-04:002011-11-06T00:10:01.639-04:00National Blog Posting Month Take 5I'm exhausted but I wanted to blog for the day and say:<br /><br /><br />GEAUX TIGERS!!!<br /><br /><br /><br />Til then-<br />Did You Hear About the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-3679532436421794776?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-55119049005430442632011-11-04T09:20:00.001-04:002011-11-04T09:20:57.250-04:00Guest PostingIf anyone who reads our blog ever does guest posts and would like to post on our blog and/or likes to have others post on their blog, let me know!

Well, there are MANY reasons that we would fast but the main reason and the only one that matters right now is that God told us to. Matt and I are in the middle of the biggest transition, so far, in our married lives. This transition is happening over the next two months as we move from Montgomery, Alabama to Spartanburg, South Carolina and start new jobs etc. This is a SUPER exciting time (and uncertain to an extent) and we are grateful for the opportunity to go through this new door.<br /><br />As we transition, we are believing God for BIG BIG BIG things (in every sense) and because of that we are fasting.<br /><br />Matt and I will choose to keep all but one thing we are fasting from to ourselves. However, we wanted to let those who read this blog know that we are fasting from Facebook through the end of the year. Please know our twitter accounts are currently linked to our Facebook pages so you will likely still see updates from us.<br /><br />Please join us in praying as we transition. We love you guys!<br /><br />Til then-<br />Did You Hear About the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-2046949707146597426?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-59977427616025286062011-11-03T09:25:00.001-04:002011-11-03T09:25:42.863-04:00National Blog Posting Month Take 3<div style="text-align: center;">"Can you listen to music and write? What was the last song you heard?"</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">NO! I absolutely can't write on my blog while I listen to music. If I do, I find myself typing "Today we were at the park, don't stop believing" (while listening to Journey). It doesn't turn out well for me! Although I can't do both at the same time, I LOVE music. However, recently I have not listened to much music lately as my time in the car has been limited. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The last song I listened to was "Reign in Us" by Starfield. I listened to this song as I was driving to my interview the other day. I LOVE THAT SONG!

For me, I'm not sure this will be possible, not because I don't want to, but because we are moving this month and I'm not sure it's will happen because of that. Some days I will utilize a prompt for my posts and others I just freestyle :).<br /><br />Today, I wanted to say why I love to write on this blog. This blog is an outlet for me. It helps me write down some things for us to remember and show our joys, struggles, exciting times with everyone who reads. I realize that only a few people read our blog on a regular basis and that doesn't bother me at all :). This blog is also the place where I plan to write about our children once we have them. Write about our anniversaries. Write about new paths God takes us on.<br /><br />I'm pretty excited that in less than 3 weeks, God is taking us to South Carolina. I think I'll LOVE blogging there.<br /><br />Til then-<br />Did You Hear About the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-8530267951224849624?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-26721496449037437482011-10-30T19:46:00.000-04:002011-10-30T19:46:23.653-04:00Prayers Appreciated.Matt and I are driving to South Carolina tonight.

Recently, they opened up the opportunity to their followers to learn about products, blog about them and share them with others. Today I received an e-mail about a new product called: Vick's Nature Fusion.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wxH_qVZhijM/TqbnVmYhxwI/AAAAAAAAAhc/RZoMrLAlA9w/s1600/vicks-logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wxH_qVZhijM/TqbnVmYhxwI/AAAAAAAAAhc/RZoMrLAlA9w/s1600/vicks-logo.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1sv_9dgqFLQ/TqbnV_cz7EI/AAAAAAAAAhk/5p04qLsxP3o/s1600/vicks-product.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1sv_9dgqFLQ/TqbnV_cz7EI/AAAAAAAAAhk/5p04qLsxP3o/s1600/vicks-product.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have not used this product yet, personally, but I can guarantee that if a cold or flu strikes this Morgan household this winter (God forbid) this is the first product we will grab.

Several months back, I was heavily couponing and saving lots of money. Since then I have slowed down a bit because I am not shopping as much. However, you can save money even when you don't coupon. One of the things that Matt and I do is try to buy only items that are on sale. This works well for us and I just plan our menu around what was on sale.<br /><br />Also, we utilize coupons when going out to eat when possible, which isn't often because we don't eat out very much at all. We also eliminated soft drinks at restaurants and only get water. This really helps us too!<br />We also share a meal when we can. Let's be honest, most of the time, there is plenty of food for 2 people.<br /><br />The biggest way to save money whether at the grocery store, restaurant, or a retail store is to look for the least expensive yet best product for you and get it. :)<br /><br />Til then-<br />Did You Hear About the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-1344020243556519309?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-21264193210716332042011-10-20T23:33:00.000-04:002011-10-20T23:33:17.204-04:00Is Life really too Short?Since I quit my job and we are waiting for God to show us the next step, I have had plenty of time to think about life (among other things). In that time, I have heard news of several younger people dying and it has made me contemplate a statement that so many people say, in fact, I have even said it myself. The statement is this:<div><br /></div><div><i>Life is too short. </i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div>Is it really? </div><div><br /></div><div>In the past, I would have said yes. Surely, young people did not live to the fullest possible extent because their lives were taken earlier than they should have been taken. </div><div><br /></div><div>However, now I think differently. I believe that if you are following God, seeking him for His will, that your life is never too short or too long. It's just the right length. </div><div><br /></div><div>See, if you are following God's will, he will leave you on Earth just long enough to fulfill the passion and purpose he has for your life. Once that is done, He will bring you home with Him. Why? Because he loves you.</div><div><br /></div><div>What do you think?</div><div><br /></div><div>Til Then-</div><div>Did You Hear About the Morgans? </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-2126419321071633204?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-18385030422446071342011-10-20T15:31:00.001-04:002011-10-20T15:31:46.399-04:00Scarf Wearing!I love scarves!

I found a recipe website called <a href="http://supercook.com/">supercook.com</a> that allows you to input ingredients you have at home and it gives you recipes for those ingredients. Tonight, I have made two delicious recipes<br /><br /><u>Cheesy Pasta Bake</u><br /><br />1 can of cream of mushroom soup<br />3 cups of cooked pasta (your choice)<br />1-2 cups of shredded cheese<br /><br />Boil pasta as directed. Put soup in a casserole dish and cook on 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes until bubbly. Mix cheese into soup until incorporated. Add drained pasta into soup/cheese mixture and bake for up to 20 more minutes until heated through.<br /><br /><u><br /></u><br /><u>Peanut Butter Cookies</u><br /><br />1 cup of peanut butter<br />1 cup of brown sugar<br />1 egg<br /><br />Incorporate well and put small spoonfuls onto sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees on a greased cookie sheet<br /><br />Both are delicious!<br /><br />Til then-<br />Did You Hear About the Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-6399698299526849183?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lesliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674490709517805722noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4546093627946093467.post-16458401233995782752011-10-19T13:30:00.000-04:002011-10-19T13:30:23.177-04:00Wisdom WednesdayRecently, I've been reading a blog series about how to increase the finances for your family outside of you 40 hour per week job.

One week ago, I had a phone interview for a job in Birmingham and this past Thursday, I had an on-site interview. Matt and I had been praying that the Lord would speak clearly in the situation and say "This is the way, walk in it". A friend confirmed this prayer to us prior to the interview as well (Love when God does that).<br /><br />I went to the interview on Thursday and the interview went well, great, in fact. I was impressed with the company. The facilities I visited were clean and very nice but when I left something just wasn't right. It wasn't anything I could pinpoint and honestly, I was a bit confused. I talked to Matt and he said "If you don't have a peace about it, then neither do I. And maybe that's our answer". But wait, would God really tell us "No" to this job after he led us to this job in the first place. Or Did He? Hmmm....<br /><br />I called my wise mother and discussed with her what Matt and I were feeling and she said "think about it and see what you feel is best". Over the weekend, Matt and I discussed the whole situation and decided that God was clearly telling us "No" and we had no other option but to listen to him. This is a hard decision to make. Why? Well, it means turning down employment. Who does that?!? Someone yielded to God that's who. So what now?<br /><br />I told Matt that one of the reasons that I felt like God was telling us "No" to this specific job was because I need to be yielded to Matt and his leadership in our relationship/family. Matt is an awesome leader but I'm not so good of a follower (can't believe I just <strike>said that outloud</strike> typed that). So, what does that mean in this situation? It means that as of right now, we reconvene Matt's job search. Matt has been working at The Home Depot for over 4 years. It's not a job he loves but it's a job God has provided and despite intermittent job hunting over the last year, nothing else has come up. I tend to get upset about that at times and then I realize that God has used every single step in our lives to teach us something. If Matt had gotten another job 4 months ago, our lives would have looked completely different and I'm not sure I would have wanted that!<br /><br />Our next step is to PRAY and ask God what he would have us to do. We believe the first step is to re-start Matt's job hunt (which I will help with a great deal, since I'm not working) and see what God shows us. We are not fearful. We KNOW God is in control and that our needs will be taken care of and we believe that all events of our lives together have led up to this point.

We had a blast. It was our 9 month anniversary and our first trip to the beach together. We only stayed one night but it was just right.<br /><br />We drove down on Saturday morning just in time to eat at The Donut Hole and get some donuts to eat on Sunday morning (more on that in a minute). We had grand plans to shop and walk around on Saturday afternoon BUT both of us got limited sleep on Friday night because we were having some stomach issues :-(. So, we ended up napping some of the afternoon and watching football before the wedding.<br /><br />After watching the LSU game, we got dressed and headed down to the beach for the wedding. The wedding was super simple and beautiful!!! I was so glad that we were able to be there with Cragg and Jansen as they became "Mr. and Mrs. Fitz". The reception was across the street in an AMAZING condo and the food was delicious. Matt and I got to visit with several friends/family from home and that was such a breath of fresh air!!<br /><br />We left about 9:00 and went back to our condo to relax. We enjoyed our cake and headed to bed. Sunday morning, we headed to the outlet mall for a bit of shopping. We each got a shirt from <i>Gap</i> and some super fun measuring spoons from the<i> Le Creuset</i> store. (They measure smidge, dash and pinch...so cute!). We had lunch at <i>Pomp@ano Joes</i> and then went back to the outlet mall for dessert from the <i>Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. </i><br /><i><br /></i><br />As we were leaving, we decided to go home a different route than the one we came down. We were so glad we did! We went through Florala, Opp, Luverne, and other small towns. We stopped in Florala at the Florala State Park and it was so beautiful- a nice respite from the long drive. We also discovered that Luverne in the home of Sister Schubert's rolls!!! I got really excited about that....haha.<br /><br />Overall, it was a great trip. Love making memories with my Man!<br /><br />Til Then-<br />Did You Hear About The Morgans?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4546093627946093467-8181619233271901920?l=thematthewmorganfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Leslie
