/////////////// very tired\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

I cannot even begin to say how tired I am.

Hmm.

OH.

Last night my Sister did my hair in a total adorkable fashion!

So I tried to do the same today, however it didn't come out as nice.

My grandparents left this morning.

It was sad.

Four more days until the giveaway ends peoples!

Now listening to Taylor swift, checking out other blogs, and learning what Kinfolk is.

Very tired.

The song Safe on my playlist right now is kinda how I'm feeling.

♥

Me and my Sista in our adorkable glasses.
However, hers are prescribed.

My oh so awesome hair style.

Just a random photo I found.

On this day..

On this day 100 years ago, the Titanic was on it's way to America. Everyone was happy, and enjoying the luxurious ocean liner. But that all soon changed. Only  two days after it's maiden voyage, the Titanic hit an iceberg around 11:40 PM. Everyone was ushered to the top deck and given life jackets. No one believed the unsinkable Titanic was sinking. So they were told it was just a drill. Two hours and forty minutes later at 2:15 AM , the Titanic's  bow went down into the ocean, bringing the back of the boat into a vertical line. Some books say that the boat stood still for a few moments. Others say it went down immediately.  After it plunged into the dark cold ocean, survivors had to wait 4-6 hours for the Carpathia to arrive. I can't even imagine.


When I was eleven years old I became interested in sunken ships. So of course the first one I found was the Titanic. I was so intrigued  I read every book in my library about it. And every other library.
I continued to study it for a while. When I was fifteen, my Mom let me watch some of the movie.
I was amazed. Sure I had studied about it for a long time, but I never could  imagine it. The movie painted it perfectly and it put a personal touch to it. I wanted to cry. I couldn't believe it. I still can't.
When I watched the movie, I continued to study more, and every time I read more, I could actually see it. To this day I still read about the Titanic and I still see that awful tragedy and I see the terror watching the boat go down.

I'm sorry if this isn't a happy post, but I wanted to write about it today it being the 100th anniversary .

I am Morgan

Who has to be working on something everyday. I'm the girl who loves to learn. Who dislikes mountains. I'm the girl who will always have some sort of camera in my hand (video or photography).

Who loves dirt, and screams when I see clean soil. I'm the girl who loves food. Who thinks vampires are stupid. Who believes in adoption. Who loves cats.

Who laughs at myself. Who is saving my first kiss for my husband. Who loves anything with polka dots. Who can't stand still. I'm the girl who still will play house. I'm the girl you'll see mucking stalls.

Who loves LIFE . I'm Morgan. Just Morgan.

My day

Today I played alot of  mexican train.

Not my favorite.

But I did it for my family.

Then. It rained.

Then, we went to Platos Closet.

Then we came home.

And now I am writing this post.

Bored?

Okay, so I'll write more.

This morning  I was up before everyone else so I went blog searching

I came across one I have seen before, but noticed their design, and quickly contacted them asking them HOW THE HECK DID YOU DO THAT???

To my surpreeese, they emailed me back almost immediately.

And I worked on my blog some.

Then I got up with everyone and we went to eat waffles and have coffee.

With no creamer. But we dumped cappuccino into it, which sorta works.

Then I wrapped myself in my quilt, and went to sit on the porch.

Just breathing.

Then got back to life.

And I checked my email again.

And I had a sweet little girl emailing me a post she would like on the Above All Else blog.

(Hence the WRITE FOR US  page.)

I have found another sweet girl to guest post soon as well.

Yesterday, I got three new followers.

I was really excited.

Thanks followers!

my new fav

Have to admit.. I'm not really happy with this post.
But don't worry, I have 2 good ones that will be here soon. :)
Sorry if this was really boring.

I'm Morgan

Lately, I have been really busy. Thinking a lot about all the things I have to do. I am starting my own "business" soon (see here), I am going crazy with blogging. I am working on a short story I will soon be submitting to another blog. I am constantly looking some HTML thing up.  I am trying to write a post for my Mom's blog. I entered a giveaway. I am trying to host my own giveaway soon. I'm planning a new movie. I trying to find girls to guest post on one of my blogs. Emailing people like crazy. Trying to keep up with my family and grandparents this week. Trying to complete a spoof video I'm making. Trying to obey my conscience everyday. Trying to think.
Just been really really busy. In my own head. Thinking a lot about my future. I guess that's normal for most almost seventeen year olds. By this time your family members are probably asking you; "So what are you going to do?" OR "Where are you thinking about going to college?". My family has. I have been thinking about what career I am wanting to go into. Obviously I have been planning on studying film. But now, I'm not so sure. Of course I really want to do film, but my interests have expanded lately.
Namely-
my writing.
I have been working on a short story. While writing it, I realized: "Hey, writings not so bad!"
And I have been planning books I'd like to write in the future.

Blog design.
I have been learning A LOT of HTML lately, and I realized how much I love to blog and design.
I think I could make a little bit of money on the side helping those who have just started blogging. That'd be fun.

Photography.
I realize how much I enjoy it. I have been saving up for my camera (Nikon D310000) but my pizza money only goes so far. I have been thinking lately: "What are my goals as a photographer?"
I realized, I would love to do engagement shoots and wedding when I got more experience.

And film.
I love to make movies. Everyone knows that. But lately, I have been tired of film. I guess I'm just worn out from Robin Hood. But again, I'm faced with the question of: '"What is my goal for film?"
I want to make movies. DUH. But their are so many things in film that I enjoy. Costume design, directing, editing, ect..    I know I will most likely choose the screen writing and directing.

So yeah, I have had A LOT of stuff on my mind.

Plus my car being in the shop, me waking up with a sore throat

and not sleeping very well.

SIGH.

But anyway.

Something I have mostly been learning this week is,

that GOD has so much more in store for me, then I have in store for me.

It reminds me of what Jamie said on  A walk to remember:

"Maybe God, had a bigger plan for me, then I had for myself"

And that's kinda what's been whirring through my head lately.

But anyway..

I hope this post wasn't that boring for you!

Morgan.

Recent Photography, and Easter.

Today has been an okay Easter.

Read here to know about my day.

Lately, we have just been busy with our grandparents who are staying with us.

So.. Like nothing new to report.

Well actually, I have a million things whirring in my head right now, but I won't be sharing here.

Tommorrow I plan on writing a better post (if I have time)

But right now, just enjoy my latest photography.

My new favorite.

My family.

Yes, my Easter outfit.

I based the outfit off this from Pinterest.

Todays events

CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, but I am a little tired. My grandparents from Michigan are coming to stay a week with us starting tomorrow. Were excited about seeing them, especially since Yule hasn't met them yet. :) After a day of finishing this, I got to work on my newest blog. Yeah I had alot of HTML problems I had to fix. Now .. after I entered a give away contest (hence the new blog button) I found the girls blog and am listening to a song on her playlist. To my surpreeesse.. It's from twilight... SIGH. (Nope, not a twilight fan).
But this songs not bad- A thousand years.
Anyhoo, we've just been busy cleaning and computer geeking. (is that even a word?)

beautiful leafy texture LOL

A few forgotten photos I took.

stormy days and chai

Ahhhhh. Just me and the house to myself (well, actually Matts in his room). Stormy weather (pouring rain) pineapples and chai, and of course Britt Nicole playing. The house dim with only a few lights. Chatting a best friend for an hour or two. Interupting Matts chat. (FUN) (jk) My fuzzy cookie monster blanket and me in my pjs ( + me in my adorkable glasses.) AHHHH. BEST day this week. ;)

SIGH

BUSY day! Been riding at our barn and working on a secret project like ALL day. Been helping others and writing emails a TON. But thats okay. I guess I did squeeze time in to play several rounds of Hide and Seek in the basement, help with dinner and help find Mom's shoes. Sigh. But it has been a tiring day. :) Matt and I are working on a secret NEXT movie idea. We laugh just talking about it, and then get so confused (we have like a MILLION characters) and  then trying to work out how they all tie into one. I don't think it's going to be "*epic*" like Robin Hood was (LOL) but I think it will definetly be a hit in the laughing department . :) (Don't worry crew, when were done we'll contact you ;))
So yeah.. Lots of secret projects going on round here !

Hope everyone had a great Sunday!

Breather

Today I leaped out of my comfort zone.

Mom, Matt and Lauryn went to a horse show this morning.

Matt went because he wanted to spend time with Lauryn, and bless her.

I ended up staying home. With Yule.

(We ended up running around like maniacs playing Hide & Seek in the house)

And then

we got into a conversation about anger.

I told her that when I was younger, I use to be very angry and mean.

I told her that it was the same with Matt.

I told her that the Lord did a big work in us, and that we are no longer angry.

And we rarely EVER fight.

Yule teared up at that.

I told her that we were very happy that we had a new sister, named Yuliya, and that

we loved her very very very very much.

Yule choked back her tears and was unable to respond right away.

But she managed a cracked:

"I love you too."

I tell people that I am not a very affectionate person.

But in reality, that's not true.

The person I have made myself is not very affectionate.

But God is bigger than me, and he recently showed me that that is NOT who I

was created to be.

That actually, I am a real loving and affectionate person.

I just don't show it. Because it's awkward for me.

But awkwardness is within me.

And I need (and AM) getting over it.

When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone?

P.S
Matt gave me full permission to share this.

Photography & Family :)

Yay for selfies that come out good!

one of my favs

I look like I'm wearing  a load of mascara

*L*O*V*E

Yules portait came out really well. :)



Enjoy these Thursday pics!
Comments appreciated

The Lorax

Today we went to Cumming and enjoyed Steak & Shake for lunch. Then we went adn watched The Lorax, at the amc theater. It was cute, but I don't know if I'd watch it twice. I think my main attraction was:
Zac Efron & Taylor Swift voice in it. And it was about trees. Yup. My Mom and I are going to see Hunger Games sometime within 30 days LOL. We just got home, and we are all chilling. :)

Yes, I stood outside Steak and Shake and took pics!

Dancing in front of the projector

Still dancing..

Todays fav..

Anyhoo, when my family arrived back from their activity (the barn) I  went outside and shot some pictures with my youngest sister. And they actually came out really well.
Love ya Lauryn!

Who doesn't love bug eye sunglasses and purple knitted hats?
