Prayers Appreciated.

Matt and I are driving to South Carolina tonight. I have an interview for a Pediatric Rehab SLP position tomorrow morning at 10:45 EST. Please be praying that we will have safe and easy travel since we are driving so much in such a little time. Also, pray that the interview goes well. This would be my ideal job at this point in my life.

Love you guys!

Sunday Download!

I've been wanting to blog all week but my head is so full of so much "stuff" that I haven't been able to make a coherent written thought :) Everything is going so well here, it's a bit ridiculous.

I can't wait to sit down and write an extended, lengthy, unnecessary blog about all of the good things going on (even if no one reads it) :). But for now, I'll just say this: Matt and I are moving to Spartanburg, South Carolina on November 20th to follow the plan that God has for us.

A Product Review/Suggestion

I subscribe to a group called Vocalpoint that reviews and suggests products, provides surveys, coupons, etc. I've been following them for almost a year. 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.

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. What makes this product unique from other products? Instead of using artificial flavors, Vick's Nature Fusion utilizes real honey. Awesome! Vocalpoint.com describes the product as this: 

Vicks^® Nature Fusion^™ is a new cold and flu liquid that is
flavored with natural honey instead of artificial flavors.**

• Free of alcohol, artificial dyes*** and gluten
• Powerful cold symptom relief medicine
• Delicious goodness of real honey
• From the trusted Vicks^® brand

I hope you will consider utilizing this product if a cold strikes you! Here is a link for a coupon for this amazing product:

Meet the Family Part 1

Matt and I were talking last night and realized that we had not introduced our family on the blog. We thought it would be a fun few posts. Here is the first installment. Meet the Morgans/Canters/Browns etc :)

It all started with the Grandparents :)

 Meet George and Virginia Brown. These are Matt's Maternal grandparents. They currently live in Inman, South Carolina. Aren't they precious? Grandmom is the beginning of all things crafty in the family (at least to my knowledge :) )

Meet Mom-Mom (aka Jane Morgan). This is Matt's paternal grandmother. She lives in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, Matt and I don't get to see her much. The first time I met her was at our wedding and she's so sweet. We are making future plans for a Northeast visit.

Then comes the parents, Rob and Claire Morgan. Matt's parents lives in Montgomery, AL. Matt's dad is retired from the Airforce and his mom is a crocheting guru (for real). Didn't they look sharp at the wedding?!

 Enter, Mr. Ben Morgan aka Phil. Ben is the youngest of the Morgan brood. He is 22 years old and is a student at Auburn University-Montgomery. He's a funny guy, for sure.

The Canter's. Holly is the oldest child and only girl of the Morgan kids. She is 1 week older than I am. She and her husband, Mitch Canter, live in Franklin, TN. Mitch is a computer guru/nerd/genius and Holly is a sewing/all other things creative guru. They are the parents of Luke and Kieran. 

Luke is the older of the two boys. The first grandchild in the family. Luke just turned 3 in August. He is a barrel of laughs and fun!

And last but not least is Kieran. Kieran was little bitty in these pictures at the wedding but earlier this month, he turned 1! Doesn't he look like his brother?!?

Obviously, there are many more to add. Aunts, Uncles, Cousins (x like 300000). Maybe one day we will share them too!

Saving Money/Couponing

Today on Kelly's Korner: SUYL everyone is sharing couponing/saving money tips. 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.

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!
We also share a meal when we can. Let's be honest, most of the time, there is plenty of food for 2 people.

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. :)

Is 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:

Life is too short. 

Is it really? 

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. 

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. 

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.

What do you think?

Yummy and Easy Recipes

Since I'm not working right now, my goal when cooking besides making food that is delicious is to spend as little as possible. I found a recipe website called supercook.com 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

Cheesy Pasta Bake

1 can of cream of mushroom soup
3 cups of cooked pasta (your choice)
1-2 cups of shredded cheese

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.



Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup of peanut butter
1 cup of brown sugar
1 egg

Incorporate well and put small spoonfuls onto sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees on a greased cookie sheet

Both are delicious!

Wisdom Wednesday

Recently, I've been reading a blog series about how to increase the finances for your family outside of you 40 hour per week job. And also, even instead of a 40 hour per week job. Matt and I have been discussing this extensively and I will share in depth with you all soon.

For now, I have signed up for Ad Sense which attaches advertisements to our blog and if people click on them, we make money. It's a minimal amount but better than what we would make before they were there. So, if you see them, click on them. Won't hurt you and it will help us :)

Also, there is a new link for e-mails. If you put your e-mail in there, it will send you an e-mail when we update the blog if that's something you are interested in.

Love you all
