Hey Y'all!
Welcome to my blog! My name is Morgan, and I'm sure if you're reading this then we either went to school together, we're related, you're one of my friends, or we've passed by each other somehow, somewhere within this beautiful little place we call Morristown. If you're not categorized by one of the above, then welcome once again! I am extremely eager to make new friends! I'm going to use this blog to showcase some of the wonderful things about Morristown (because I think sometimes we all need a little reminder about why we stay here), some new recipes that I'm trying that I've more than likely found on Pinterest, pictures of my cat, drunk craft tutorial videos (more on this later), baking recipes, and anything else that I find slightly interesting! Now, how about I tell you a little bit about me before I get started.
This is me. This is one of my least favorite pictures of myself, but this is the truest photo of myself; no angles, no perfect lighting, no fancy makeup, no sucking in my tummy, it's just me and it's honest. I think we all need to be a little more honest in our daily lives and that's something that I'm also going to strive for through this blog. I like to read books, and am currently making my way through Stephen King's tantalizing list of horror. I like to watch horror movies, and I have about 150 in my house, some of which have never been opened; you could say it's a bit of an addiction. I like to sit outside on my porch swing with my friends and drink coffee. I absolutely love animals and if I ever come close to one, I'm not walking away without at least attempting to pet it. I like to cook and bake and I love to eat the things that I cook and bake. I have lots of hobbies and lots of things that I find fun, but nothing that I'm truly and infinitely passionate about which is why I haven't completed a college degree. I do have something in mind, but it's currently on the back burner as I'm dealing with ongoing back problems. A couple of years ago while working in a factory, I hurt my back very badly and it required me to go to a chiropractor (this is the first place I went because it's natural and doesn't involve any kind of pain medicine) three times a week for three months. When they did an x-ray they said that I've got two discs at the bottom of my spine that are fused together. Although this isn't life threatening to me, Thank God, it has made my life a lot harder than it used to be. I am currently in the process of getting an MRI done because it seems as though things are getting worse. Believe me when I say that this is not a pity party, but simply a prelude to explain why I have the job that I have now. I sit with one of my step mom's mother and it has been the most rewarding job I've had yet. She is hilarious, she is devout in her faith, and she is the nicest woman that I've had the pleasure of meeting in all my life. I make her lunch and cook her dinner and help her with some of her errands and chores through out the weeks. I take her to her doctor appointments and I make sure that she takes her medicines. I know she doesn't need me there, as she is able to get around on her own, but I like to believe that we're both making a difference in each others lives. I really hope to show you pictures of our adventures soon! Now, enough about me. I would like to tell you about some of the people that have impacted my life the most and made me who I am!
This is my husband Michael. I wish I could tell you that the story of us meeting for the first time was some kind of magical experience, but alas, it was not. We met through a mutual friend at a Walmart.. welcome to Tennessee! Our first encounter with each other definitely wasn't a page pulled from a fairy tale, but I can say that the entire rest of our relationship has been nothing short of spectacular. He saved me from a life that so many people around here end up falling in to. He's shown me things about myself that I didn't even know existed. He bought me a cat. I mean seriously, how much better of a husband can you have? Like, guys, he bought me A CAT. Anyway, I can never put into words what he has truly done for me, and our cat Sam, so I'll just say this: I love you sweet boy. More than you'll ever know.
On to less sappier things (yeah right). This is my best friend Brittany and she's a total babe. Seriously, I can't take her anywhere without someone asking her where she got her clothes or how she does her hair. You would think that this would annoy me to no end, but it actually makes me really happy because when people tell her these things, she gets the biggest smile on her face, and when she's happy, I'm happy. When you love someone as much as I love Brittany, you really learn to see the good in people and you want good things to happen to those people. You learn to push lust and envy out of the way and you learn how easy it is to have a friendship. It does also help that almost every time I see her, I know I'm getting taco bell that day, and she might even be paying for it (since I'm trying to be more honest, I don't actually like Brittany, I'm just using her because of my love for burritos). She stood by me in second grade (seriously, our last names we're extremely close together), we stood together when we went to our first prom, we stood together as we received our caps and gowns, she stood beside me at the alter, and one day she'll stand by me as the godmother to my children. If you end up keeping up with this blog, I can guarantee that you'll be seeing a lot of this girl. I love you Brittany Jo.
Another girl who is close to my heart is this Lil mama, Alisha. We've only recently gotten close over the last couple of years, but I'm very thankful that it happened. Alisha is a little bit of spice and a little bit of country with a gypsy soul that is guaranteed to break any man's heart. When she walks into a room it is instantly lit up with her smile and ever growing charisma. She is adventurous and full of wanderlust and anyone who is lucky enough to call this girl their friend will agree with me. Another thing I'm going to use this blog for is for mine and Alisha's drunk tutorial videos. I know what you're thinking. Oh, they're going to get drunk off of cheap alcohol and show us how to do stuff. Yep. That's actually what's going to be happening, and no one can stop us, so look for that coming up soon! I love you Alisha!
I told you I was going to post photos of my cat. If you don't think he's cute then I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems, but people who don't like photos of my cat ain't one. Seriously, get out.
Anyway, This is me and these are people in my life that make a huge impact on a day to day basis. There are so many other people who make a difference in my life, but I thought I'd shine the limelight on just a couple tonight. The next post coming up is a delicious recipe for taco soup (with pictures) and a little bit about Morristown and what makes this city special, so make sure to follow to keep up with my blog!
Bye Y'all! xo
