I love Saturday mornings!

I woke up this morning with Morgan in my face! He woke up at 7:30AM and it was now going on 9:30AM and he couldn't stand being up by himself anymore! I'm usually grumpy in the morning, but he knows me well so he already had coffee made. He's a good man! I got up and made breakfast and listened to music. We are usually on the go so this was a nice change of pace. We are going to Target in a bit to get some mulch for Morgan Junior (Morgan's plant he has brought back to life) and then we are meeting up with Lauren and Jason (Morg's great friend) at Morgan's work to watch Goodfellas in the theatre on Blu-Ray. I just love relaxing!

The Band (Thanks for the pics Morg)!

I tried to upload these pictures on Monday, but the files were VERY large. Lauren and I had our band over to her house for chili, booze and Wii last Friday night to thank them for playing. We went grocery shopping during our lunch break for all the fixins with the money we made at The Cat Club. It is seriously the least we could do; these guys are awesome. We had a great time! There was even an impromptu dance party! I didn't post pictures of that because it was late and we all looked as drunk as we actually were!

My Family...

I have been thinking about my family a lot lately and how lucky I am. They are all my best friends in the world. I just thought it would be nice to pay tribute to these crazy, beautiful people. Pictures of my new family (Morgan's side) to come...


My dad and I are more similar than we like to admit. I love him more than he will ever know! He is kind, generous, funny, smart, handsome and the hardest worker I have ever met!


My mom and I know we are alike and we think it is funny! She is the strongest woman I know. I want her strength. She is hilarious, smart, beautiful and wise.


Oh Melissa! I have always looked up to her. Whenever she is around it feels like a constant party. I miss her when we go too long without seeing each other. Melissa is crazy, beautiful and stronger than she knows, oh and did I mention crazy!?


Ryan: I was Ryan's side kick growing up. I basically did and said anything he told me to do. He is laid back, sarcastic, funny, a brilliant writer, and amazing father and one of my best friend's in the world.
Bridget: Bridgie is my heart. She was MY sidekick and she did and said anything I told her to do growing up. She has grown up to be such a beautiful, smart, hilarious and thoughtful woman. I love her so much!


Oh my Angela. Angela and I played basketball together in high school and became best friends. She fell in love with my brother and now I get to keep her forever. I love Angela because she is always up for anything (even going to Taco Bell in Harlem during a blizzard) She is one of the smartest people I know and she is an amazing mother to Ben and Elliott.


Eric makes my sister very happy and I am so honored to have him as a part of our family. I am so glad we got to spend quality time with Eric in Ireland. He showed us such a great time! He is funny, sweet and caring and I love him very much!



Little Benjamin. I can't believe he will be starting kindergarten this year! I remember when he was born (he tried to escape out of his little bed). He is such a thoughtful, sweet, silly and extremely interesting little boy. I love his kisses and hugs. I adore this little man!


Then there is Elliott. Our littlest member of the family. He has a big personality. He is very little considering how big everyone in the family is. I love his skinny little legs and his wispy brown hair. He is very loving and gives open mouth kisses. I love him so!


Sometimes I find it hard to put into words how much I love Morgan. He makes me feel safe and secure. I am content, not the I have settled content that I have felt before, but the happy content. Everything else in my life can be going wrong, but I know I have Morgan to come home to each night. He is my everything.

I love a good deal!

On Saturday Morgan and I went to Pier 1 with his mom and grandma. We were just tagging along because his mom and grandma love to shop and they were looking for a new mirror to put in their dining room. Now, Morgan and I are saving up to go to Australia and to eventually purchase a home so we don't really shop or buy anything fun for ourselves, but sometimes we make an exception! We found a head board, foot board and frame for $65 at Pier 1!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't even have to hesitate and I don't feel guilty at all! Morgan put it together right when we got home that day. We love it!
