kings and queens

Hey everyone! I hope you guys like the new look of the blog. I have been wanting to change it for awhile and I absolutely love it! It definitely fits me more than the last layout. Well I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Mine sure was!

Last Thursday, I skipped class and went home Wednesday night. I hadn't been feeling good at all so I decided to go home and rest a little bit before we drove to SC. We woke up and began our drive down to SC at about 10 and got there around 5. It was so great to see my sis and her beau. That night we hung out at her apartment and went to dinner. Then Saturday, they took us to downtown Greenville and showed us around. It was gorgeous. I loved Greenville! Here are some pictures from the weekend...


Me and Shannon!
Shandy.
Me, Andy and Shan.
Lovers. :)
Shakin' it!
Yep, they're dating.
I saw this in the park in Greenville and I HAD to take a picture of it. This is a nun, look in her hand. That's a frisbee. I saw a NUN playing FRISBEE! Tell me that thats not one of the greatest things you've EVER seen!
While in SC, we got to meet Andy's Mom and stepdad. They are so wonderful and we had a blast with them.

I'm still not feeling good, but I am feeling better. It's not swine flu, don't worry. Just a cold that I can't seem to beat because I never get any sleep. Story of a college students life.

Monday I drove back down to school (skipped my first class), went to class and then to babysitting. When I came back to my dorm, I checked my mail and had SOOO much waiting for me. Our mail system hasn't been working very well lately and it finally is running smoothly now. I had 3 magazines (my parents are WONDERFUL and surprised me with a subscription to US Weekly, I'm addicted, what can I say!?) and 3 letters, waiting for me. I was like a kid on Christmas! I just couldn't wait to read them all! I can't wait to write them all back! Monday night, my friend Patrick came over to my dorm (I convinced him to skip his 7 o clock class to come hang out with me, I know, I'm a bad influence) and we hookahed in the court yard because it was a perfect night. We hookahed for about an hour and a half, then came back to my dorm for a little bit. At 9, I had to go to a floor meeting for my dorm, which was pointless and then I came back to my dorm and downloaded some new music and did homework.

I'm super SUPER excited for these next few weeks coming up. Not only do I have fun plans but there are AMAZING movies coming out soon. These are just two of the many that I can't wait to see.



The Blind Side, has truly captured my heart. I balled my eyes out when I saw this trailer. I'm pretty sure you might too. I showed it to my Mom and she cried as well. This movie just looks amazing and I cannot wait to see it. I hope you guys watch and go see it as well. The truly amazing thing about this movie is that it's based off a true story. There actually was a compassionate family out there that saw this boy and changed his life forever. Here's the trailer...



If that didn't bring a tear to your eye then I don't know what does. I already have plans to see it twice. That's how excited I am to see it. I hope you enjoyed that trailer and definitely check both those movies out :)

While in SC, my Mom, Shannon and I went to Target. Let's just say WE LOVE TARGET. While in Target, Shan and I found these little grow em' yourself plants for a dollar each. We bought one flower one and a christmas tree one. We both bought them and are going to grow them together even though were miles away.


Here we are with 2/4 of our little plants. :)

Also while in SC, in downtown Greenville, the sister and I had a little photo-shoot. And from that photo-shoot came one of my favorite pictures OF ALL TIME...

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE this picture! We laid the camera down on the ground and took a picture hovering over it, beautiful clear sky behind us. I love this picture and the girl in it!

Also, today, November 10th, is a special day...

It's Shannon's 24th Birthday!
Happy Birthday Shan!
I love you with allllllll of my heart!

love love love,

"love is patient. love is kind..."

This weekend has been sooo... extremely relaxing and it is just what I needed! I never imagined how 'on the go' I would be at college! Well on Thursday, I went to class, walked to the hospital to get a shot (yay for not having to worry about dying from meningitis!), and walked back to my dorm then out to dinner with a friend, went home, packed a few things (books for homework, mostly) and headed home. I have been doing nothing other than sleeping and relaxing and I feel SO much better!

Last night, I felt like watching a movie or two. One of those movies happened to be...


I forgot how much I truly LOVE that movie! I watched it twice last night and once this afternoon. You CANNOT beat that movie. I know its kind of cheesy but the love story is truly magical. And it has an amazing bible verse in it...


Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

--1 Corinthians 13: 4-7


That verse is soo... beautiful and I just absolutely love that movie!


This week I've slowly started planning my next four weeks ahead and to say the least, I'm EXCITED! Next weekend, UK vs. U of L game. The next weekend, UK vs. Florida game. Then, on October 1st my fall break starts. So on September 31st or October 1st, I'm driving down to Nashville and hanging out with Jess for the weekend. That next weekend, Keeneland opens. And the October 14th, my other best friend (she moved up to Minnesota the day after we graduated from high school) come back down! SOOO freaking excited for that! When she comes down, all of my best friends and I get back together and it's going to be CRAZY and SO MUCH FUN! Looking back at that paragraph and all of my plans makes me really excited and I just can't wait :)


Tomorrow afternoon or night, I'm driving back down to Lexington. Yay! I'm really loving Lexington! Or should I call it Lex- Vegas. haha Well I really can't put off my homework any longer. I have a speech and a paper to write. I'll talk to you guys soon!


Love,
Morgan
