Drama!

Ok so I am going to post our valentine's fun but it may have to wait a couple of days. I lost the cabel to my camera to download pics. On top of that, our neighbors are unbearable, and our lease is up saturday unless we want to pay for two more weeks and I don't so.... We're moving and I'm finishing my midterm master's projects by saturday! AHHH!! So as soon as I can find my camera cabel in all the moving mess I'll post some updates.

ps.. Viv has started a new photography blog that I've connected to "My favorite people" section so check it out. I really like her pics and style!

Adorable!

Ok so my friend Kelly from college has started her own business. She has been in business for about two years now and is doing great. A few months ago was a bit of a struggle as the person who was supposed to re-design her website pulled a fast one and left her site down for a good 6 months! Long story! Anyway its back up and running and all I can say is that her bows & beenies are ADORABLE!! I hope I have a little girl someday! I've already got a few of her products hehehe ... So if you're interested in shopping her site is: www.Katelynandco.com
She can even custom make orders to match outfits!! I'm so proud of her for doing so well!

New Hair & A Trip to Idaho

My Grandma Galloway recently broke her femur from a fall and so Danny and I decided to go on an Idaho Falls trip this weekend to visit the Grandmas.... and to our surprise my Grandma Johnson was actually giving a talk in church that Sunday! So it was fun to visit her and support her in her talk. It was about temple work which was perfect because a year ago we were all sealed to my grandma as she was sealed to my grandpa that had passed away. It was so touching and I am so proud of her for staying strong in the church so we could all be sealed together! The pic above is of my Cute Grandma Johnson.


After going to my Grandma Johnson's talk the "Johnson Clan" headed to Blackfoot to hear my Uncle Kelly speak about the importance of the scouting program. He did a great job!


My Grandma Galloway also got sent back home after a week in the rehab clinic for her operation and is doing great considering she is 87!! She is on her own in a cute little apartment and in this pic is also my Aunt Dorothy and cuz Carly with her little boy Blade.


My Cuz Carly and her son Blade!! Carly and I grew up together in Idaho and are almost like sisters! She also did all the flowers for my wedding... she's got some amazing talents ;)

And NOW......

My New Haircut! Let me know what you think... Keep in mind that my hair is super thick and it has grown out a bit over the past couple of months :)

A Few Changes...

O k So I usually post on our blogs what has happened or what is going on. It's rare for me to actually say anything important or meaningful however today I realized that its been a while since I've posted anything (thanks to Emily's comment haha) so here it goes...

There are going to be a few changes in my life.

I know Danny and I have both been in hiding the past few months because as you may or may not know we are both working and going to school full time. I'm not sure what made me want to go back and get my master's but I felt super urgent about it and so I have to keep telling myself that it is the right thing.... we'll see.. anyway on to the changes that will be happening

#1 I am excited to announce that Danny will be graduating in April! YEA!! So at least one of us won't be as busy. It will be a nice change for him to work full time and so maybe I can take some time off.. I think it might be a good switch off :) I am really proud of him for working so hard. He is getting a BIS which is a Bachelor's in Integrated Studies (Chemistry, Microbiology, and Spanish). This major takes a little more effort as he has had to come up with a capstone project and he has three professors on his approval committee. So I'm proud of him for going the extra mile xoxoxox

#2 I cut my hair. Yep.. I haven't posted any pics yet because I had to like it before I could hear if anyone else liked it.. hehe. Kim and I met up a couple of days ago for a DMV date :) and well when she saw my hair she was super shocked.. I guess I forgot to tell anyone... oops. I'll post some pics soon :) You can be honest. Some people have really liked the change others preferred the longer look.

#3 The Service for Life Foundation is up and running! YEA! Danny and I along with two of his friends started this non-profit organization to help them and other students gain volunteer experience and so we could bless our lives by serving others. So this is a first for me but I created a website for our non-profit www.serviceforlifefoundation.org I know long name huh?! Well all the other good ones were taken sooo... we are starting this year to serve! If you would like to help or donate please let me know. We need all the help we can get. It was fun coming up with projects last year so I decided we needed to go public with our foundation so others could help in our community as well. Anyway.. check out the site let me know what you think (improvement suggestions are more than welcome)

#4 I'm on a diet. I know I know.. diets are bad right?! Well being a newly wed has its amazing moments but the toll its taken on my body is not one of them :) I had to learn how to cook and with that came the fat! grrr... (I think working full time and being too busy to work-out has also added a little) Anyway... I'm doing a new program called Total Health and Fitness and I can honestly say I've NEVER felt Better! Seriously this is an amazing program and I've already lost 7lbs YEA! I'm on my way down. This is another reason for my anti-social behavior.. I want to get down so you are all shocked with the new and improved me! O k so it will still be me but you can all think I'm new and improved :) hehe I know I can do it! I just need to keep pumping myself up so I can make it.. I'll let you know how it keeps going and if anyone feels like joining me I'll be on my fat killing crusade with this program until May.

#5 As of March 9,2008 Danny and I will no longer be newlyweds! ahhhh!! It's all happened so fast... we will be married one year that day and it seems like yesterday that we were in the temple gazing into each other's eyes wondering what our future together would hold. Its been an amazing year and I can't wait for 5000000 more!

#6 We're moving! FINALLY!! If you haven't heard our crazy neighbor stories then you might not understand my excitement. About three months ago we had some crazy neighbors move in downstairs that seem to think that yelling is a form of love?! hm.. anyway they are crazy and I can't take their fighting and screaming baby anymore so as soon as our Landlord told us he was raising our rent it was all enough to push us to make the move. So the first week of March we will be moving into a house in bountiful just off of Davis Blvd. No, we didn't magically make a ton of money to buy a house on the hill... we were actually contacted by a cute senior couple in my parent's ward that are going on a mission. They want us to stay in their house while they are on their mission to keep it up and all we have to pay are the UTILITIES!! Can I just say that I am sooooo excited!?! I can't wait to save a little money.

So there you have it. Those are our changes so far this year. Its only been a month and a half of 2008 and so much has already happened or will be happening. I am really excited for a new year and I have made some personal New Years Resolutions that will hopefully help me be a better friend, daughter, and wife. I'm so happy to see everyone's posts and how our lives are evolving. Thanks for inspiring me every day! Love you guys!
(sorry this was a long one)

ps.. I got this new adorable and fun Valentine's background from Matie Kay Creations

Happy Birthday Danny!!

Happy Birthday Danny!! Yea you're finally 25 and can rent your own car! Sweet!! So I wanted to make this day super fun and eventful for Danny.... I think the pictures will tell most of the story but I'll add in where I can....

First of all Danny and his Dad's birthday's are only a week apart so we decided to have a family party for both of them. I got super excited and tried my cake making skills I learned at a class from GyGi's and made a double layer raspberry filled cake! It's not that professional but it was super fun to make! We had a great time with everyone and had fun celebrating their birthdays.


Next we were on to the birthday weekend festivities!! I invited all of danny's friends to dinner with us. It was a surprise for Danny as we walked into the Cedars of Lebanon restaurant to see all his friends there waiting in the crazy Morocco room. The room was not all that this restaurant has to offer.... I found this place online and decided it looked like a fun environment... Well ok maybe just a fun show of .... BELLY DANCERS! I know I know.. what wife takes his hubby to see belly dancers right?! Well I really like them to be honest and I thought it would be fun for everyone if we were going to spend the money on a pricey dinner to have a little show to go with it :)


The Birthday Surprise Gang!! Thanks guys for coming! It was super fun!!

My cute Birthday Boy, myself, Tarren and Blake


The Belly Dancer. I thought there would be more.. but nope there was just one and she was very... interesting... Should I say more?

This is a little video of our experience :)


She pulled the Birthday Boy up to teach him how to belly dance a little... my camera took this weird pic.. i'm sure Danny is grateful the other didn't turn out.. haha.. sorry honey!

Next we were off the Gateway Arcade!! Every guy's dream! haha.. They really did have fun playing with the guns, virtual jet skiing, basketball competitions, ski-ball, ets... Also everyone donated all their tickets that they won to the Birthday Boy and in turn he got all the girls these glow worm things and some pixy stixx... Livin the kid dream all over again :)

The boyz... Ryan, Blake, Danny, McKay, and Spencer. Jake and his wife had to go home early but we are still super glad they came!


Danny dominated me at the shooting game but at least I got to use the cute pink gun!!


The Wives Club.. Chelsea and I with our weird worm things that the boys won for us! Thanks guys!

After we left the arcade we went back to our apartment and watched a movie and just hung out. I thought it turned out to be a fun and random night. I hope Danny had a great birthday and I had so much fun planning it for him. I love him soooo much and am so happy to be his little wifey!

Happy Birthday to youuuuuu Happy Birthday to Youuuuu Happy Birthday dear Dannyyyyyy Happy Birthday to youuuu!! You hot hubby!
xoxoxoxoxo

Havin Fun!

Ok so Danny might kill me for this post but he doesn't look at the blog too often so we'll see what happens.. haha.. Anyway we were at WalMart in Layton getting some last min treats for a Christmas Party and there was a mechanical bull inside.. well Danny looked at me and so I had to dare him to get on it! It was hilarious!! This pic just reminds me that we can all still have fun in life even if it is just running errands at WalMart. I hope you are all living life to the fullest and look for the fun you can have everyday!

Love,
Morgan

Cruise 2008!!!

So my parents took Danny and I on a CRUISE for Christmas!! Yea!! Thanks Mom and Dad!!

We flew in to Long Beach and stayed in this awesome hotel by the bay and went to Knotsberry Farm. We usually go to Six Flags but thought we'd try something new. We were happily surprised by some awesome roller coasters. There is one in the pic below that shoots you up in the air so fast and then drops down and twists and stuff. It was sooo fun that we had to run through and do it a few times. (going this time of year is great!! The lines were so short this will always be my time of choice for amusement park visits) Well we decided to go on a few other roller coasters. I think we all got a little sick on this one that pulled you backward up this ramp and let you go then you hit a point where you do the whole thing backward! That was a stomach turner! haha anyway to finish off the night we decided to go on Ghost Rider. It is a roller coaster similar to the rickety white one at Lagoon... made of wood and just looked like fun. Well once it took off we were in for a ride! I have NEVER been on a roller coaster that went SOOO fast! I literally thought we were going to fly off the tracks.. it was super scary and fun all at the same time! So of course Danny and I had to do it again. haha.. this time we rode on the back and got whiplash so bad! It was super fun though. Below are some pics from the rest of our trip. We went on a three day cruise to Ensenada, Mexico and got to see the famous Blow Hole. We also went shopping a little, got some real vanilla and a black clay sculpture. It was fun to speak Spanish to everyone and just enjoy a relaxing vacation.


Our Cruise SHIP! It was called Paradise Panama.



My Cute mom... doesn't she look like Betty Boop?

Charlie Brown Christmas at Knotsberry Farm!

In front of the accelerator! ahhhhh!!

This was my mom's favorite coaster

Inside the monkey room in Ensenada Mexico. All the monkeys would kick to the music.. it was pretty funny.

On our way to see the Blow Hole in Ensenada... yes it was a little stormy.

The water flows into the crack and then shoots up about 40-60 feet. It is one of the biggest ones in the world.

This is a downward shot of the Blow Hole!

Danny and I in Ensenada Mexico!! Yea!

So without us knowing my Dad paid this cute girl to make bracelets for Danny and I that matched. She can make them in three min flat! That's some speed weaving!

Bracelet Love!

My parents had a long day in Mexico and took a little nap on the bus ride back to the ship.

Banana Monkey!! They make cigars and have some crazy clubs.. i just liked the monkey : )
