It feels like Christmas in my house

Over the weekend, Ashley and I finally got our Christmas tree purchased, put up and decorated. We always buy a real Christmas tree. We both grew up with real trees and I love the way they smell. It feels like Christmas at my house!! We bought a 7-8 foot tree because we could accommodate that size in our little house. Well, we (or should I say he) got it in the stand and in the house and the top little branch that the angel, star or in our case bow goes on is completely bent over from the ceiling. It was pretty funny so we just left it. You probably can't see it in this picture, but it's bent over.

I just realized that the tree looks like it might be leaning a little to the right. Let's hope it was the camera!! Nothings ever perfect at the Morgan house.

Last year my mom started me a collection of the Willow Tree Nativity Scene. Every year I get a new piece and will eventually pass down to my children.

The Full Effect!!!

Happy Decorating!!!!

Wait......What???

Oh yeah, I got into Physical Therapy School!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I felt the same way........the usual....shock, awe, feeling faint, pee my pants, crying, shaking, screaming, jumping up and down, you name I did it. I got my acceptance letter on Friday afternoon and have yet to come off cloud 9. August 10, 2009 I will start my venture......and become a Gamecock. Ashley has demanded I wear orange every day to class. I demanded a new wardrobe if that was the case........we'll see who will win that one.

Drastic Days

My mother-in-laws birthday was last Saturday (Nov. 22nd) and in honor of her, I have been growing my hair for donation for WELL OVER a year. For those of you who have never grown your hair for a reason, you must have extreme patients. Well, if you know me, you know that patients is not one of my best virtues, but definitely something I am working on. I cut over 8 inches of my hair off last Friday, November 21st. The ponytail of hair had to be 8 inches and my stylist (Nichole) had to shape things up, so it was at least 9 inches. After much anticipation, a few deep breaths, and Nichole trying to keep me from passing out.............the hair was gone. Yes, at first I felt like Matilda with a giraffe neck. It was for a good cause, so just another reason to laugh at myself. If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?

There are two ponytails because I have amazingly thick hair and still with two ponytails, Nichole had to cut each one three times. My mom and I got the lots of hair jean, my brother and dad....not so much!

This is before a major color overhaul and a fixing the crazy ends!!!

This was after everything the next night at a wedding.........it was, or should I stay still is an adjustment. The best picture I could come up with!

So, I am back into growing my hair out, I don't think I will be able to make it next November, so this will be a true test of patience......2 years......just stick with me!!

Happy Birthday Deb!!! And on this same day, was Ashley's oldest brother, Trey's birthday.....Happy Birthday Trey Bird! We love you!
