Last 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.
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.
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!
I WAS IN HOG HEAVEN!!!!
God is GOOD, I must confess!

National Blog Posting Month Take 7 |
For those of you who know me, you know that I LOVE TO COOK.
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.
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.
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.
Share with me your favorite recipes. Appetizers. Entrees. Salads. Desserts. etc
Can't wait to get cookin' again!

National Blog Posting Month Take 6 |
Wow, It's November 6th! That just seems impossible!
Tomorrow is November 7th (obviously) and November 7th is a very special day. It is the birthday of one of my oldest and dearest friends. Jill Michelle Himel Soderstrom.
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.
I'm so proud of who Jill has become as a woman, a wife, a professional, and a daughter of Christ.
She is incredible!
Happy Birthday, JILL!!! Love you to pieces.

Fasting |
Fasting....Fasting....Fasting
Why in the world would The Morgan Family fast? 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.
As we transition, we are believing God for BIG BIG BIG things (in every sense) and because of that we are fasting.
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.
Please join us in praying as we transition. We love you guys!

"Can you listen to music and write? What was the last song you heard?"
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.
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! It has been a favorite since the first day I heard it.
On a completely separate note, I read this article last night and Matt and I were both appaulled. It's so sad when people "bear the name" of Christ and react in this way. It is shameful. Read the link below about a group of people who are picketing the funeral of a fallen soldier.

National Blog Posting Month Take 2 |
Prompt for this day:
If you knew that whatever you ate at your next meal would be your last meal, what would you eat?
I thought it would be fun if Matt and I answered this together. So you'll get my answer and his today.
Okay, this is hilarious. I decided on my answer then asked Matt what he would eat and he answered exactly the same as me. :)
Matt and Leslie: Ruth Chris' Ribeye, Scalloped Potatoes, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Chocolate Cheesecake.
Oh my!

National Blog Posting Month |
November is National Blog Posting Month with the goal being to write on your blog everyday for the entire month. 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 :).
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.
I'm pretty excited that in less than 3 weeks, God is taking us to South Carolina. I think I'll LOVE blogging there.
