[ St. Augustine, FL ]


[Here & There]







I had so much fun shooting around the lovely old Saint Augustine, FL while on vacation.  I always fall in love with this place all over again each time I visit. It's so hard not to take a picture of every little detail! Sit in one place for an hour and you still wouldn't have taken all the photos there are to take in that spot. I have so many more I'm going to post. Hope you were inspired by these few! :)

[ What's your story? ]


Well, first week of classes are over! This semester is going to go by so quickly. So much to get done, but its going to be fun. This past Tuesday when I walked into the class that I have been having nightmares about; I was shocked with what was said. When the professor walked in, he immediately started off the class with a story. A story about "his story". A story about his newly born twin girls. When God blessed him and his wife with not one child, but two. The way in which he shared this "Wow God story" was so beautiful. I wish I could tell you the story the way he did. After he finished I was completely speechless. The first thing that came to my mind was "wow, I wish I had a life story that was this wonderful." Our homework that night was to write out "our "Wow God" story." I had never actually put any thought into what I would consider "my story," or something that has changed my life for the better of me. I always hear about these amazing stories of cancer survivors, amazing missionary experiences, etc. I guess I always thought that these jaw dropping stories were what I should be waiting for as "My WOW story" to share with others. I was wrong, God has already done this for me. I just needed to be reminded, and as we grow, our "Wow God stories" will only get better.  So in fact, I do have an amazing story...one that no one else has. God wrote it out for me that night.

Have you thought about  your "Wow God story" yet? Has God done something in your life that you believe has changed your outlook on life forever? Pray and he will make it clear to you. :)

When you're down to nothing, God is up to something.

[ Happy Birthday Morning Morgan! ]


^sister

^boyfriend. 


Hello and welcome to my first blog Morning Morgan! "Happy Birthday to my blog and myself!" This is my first post and today is my 20th birthday! C'mon, how nifty is that?  My first few posts will probably be lame; until I get started and used to everything! 

Let's talk about my 20th birthday! I had such a great time with my family and boyfriend to celebrate the big TWO OHH. My parents treated my boyfriend, my sister, and myself to a wonderful dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. I got the meatloaf sandwich. No I am not crazy, it's delicious....and enormous. It comes with a delectable little cup of tomato & bacon jam, which you try to save enough to smother each bite with.  After dinner, I got to pick out a cheesecake. I tried the Godiva cheesecake. Good heavens! It was deadly. I'm sure you can only imagine how marvelous it was. 

Today we had a little goofy party with chinese food and cookie pie to celebrate the "real" day! Cookie pie (photo above), is probably one of the best homemade desserts in the world. I mean, its cookie AND pie! We played some games and had a good time. 

Tomorrow I am going to write about my first week at school. I've been growing in so many areas, and I can really see it this semester. I am so excited to type it all up! and for you to read it! :)
