he'd be proud.

Embracing Flaws

You know the feeling you get when you stumble across a new blog and the writer seems to be PERFECT. They are amazing in every single way possible? Well I hate to get your hopes up followers.... That is definately NOT me. I would hate to mislead you all with a perfection I do not hold.

This blog is DIFFERENT... Why? Well because I am...

I have flaws just like every normal human being. I keep secrets, I have fears, I have hopes, I have dreams.... My family fights, my friends bicker, my boyfriend can make me mad... and guess what... when it rains, my hair frizzes. Shocking? Yup, tell me about it.

I struggle with different things on a daily basis.... and I have come to find out... That is PERFECTLY ok to seek help.

Its called embracing your flaws, and I have learned to accept things I cannot change as little blessings in disguise...

Not only do you have to embrace your own unique differences, you have to accept the ones of others around you. This can be just as difficult, especially if these differences are ones that have the potential to be in your life for years to come....

You may be figuring out there is something I am DYING to share with you right now, about something or someone close to me, I haven't quite figured out how to deal with it in the real world... I felt as though I have accpeted it for all it was... is it possible to have second thoughts about something so very important? So this little corner of blogosphere will have to wait for the big "secret" later on.... I guess I have to keep you guessing so you'll come back for more.... any thoughts?

Xoxo,

Morgan

Get Your Pistols Up

Ever since I can remember my idol has been this chick right here....



Miranda Lambert.

And now she has a brand new band! Miranda & two of her closest friends, Ashley Monroe & Angaleena Presley make up The Pistol Annies...

...and man are they rockstars! I found my new favorite band! They are everything I love all rolled into one... A little bit of hippie, little bit of Texas, and a WHOLE lot of rockstar.  

Check out their website HERE, and their new single, Hell on Heels, right here!

(make sure to scroll to the bottom of my page and pause the music before you enjoy the greatness of the BRAND NEW, PISTOL ANNIES!)

Feather Fanatic!

Hey guys!  Well once again, I have been away for weeks at a time with no way to update the ol blog-a-roo.  My poor pantech just isn't up to date enough to make posts while on the road.... maybe FINALLY time to upgrade to iphone? :)

Back in March I found a new trend in Houston that I was DYING to start back in my hometown... feather extensions!! 

I soon became a feather FANATIC!! I rocked the turquoise & brown pheasant feathers like a true rockstar! My girl Ke$ha even has them!! 

I had them in for a little over a month before everyone went overboard and completely killed the new look..... However-- I think it might be time to re-kindle the old flame and reunite myself with my fearless feathery buddies! 

What are your thoughts on the trend? Love, hate, no opinion?  Should I reinstate my feather extensions?  Let me know-- I'd love to hear a repsonse from my loyal followers!

The Lions Will Never Sleep.



Wow followers.  It's been two months.  My computer was extremely sick with a deadly virus.... but with a little help from the computer Doc, she's all better now!

So much has happened within the last two months.  Catching up is a must.

My state-bound softball team was devastated in an upset loss against Callisburg in the Regional Quarterfinals.  It was a shocking way to end my softball career at Ponder High School, however it made me realize how precious my time with the wonderful girls on my team was.  I would not trade the memories made for all of the gold in the world.  These girls had more heart, dedication, and love for each other than I have ever experienced.  It was truly a blessing, and God granted me four AMAZING years with an AMAZING team.

I want each and every girl I have played with to know that they each have a special place in my heart.  They are each special in their own way, and they are my HEROS.  AND contrary to what the Denton Record Chronicle article stated, "The Lions Now Sleep..."

... These Lions will NEVER sleep.

Even though this chapter in my softball career is now over, this will always be my team.  This is the team where tears were shed, smiles were shared, lives were touched, and inspiration was created.

Living Out of a Suitcase

Dear Fellow Follwers,

I AM SORRY!!!

I've been on the road for about 4 weeks straight!

 I know I have been MIA for a couple of weeks.... living out of a suitcase is TOUGH business!!  Late nights, no computer, and stockshows could almost do a girl in... not quite though!  Thank God for my friends that keep me sane during stockshow season!

Some of us show stick 'em like a champ...

Some of us take goofy pictures in mirrors in WARM bathrooms... while others take blurry phone pics at rodeos and concerts...

Some of us are in  GRAND DRIVES....

... and some of us take home GRAND CHAMPION.

MOST of us need a little time out from hard work and fun...

But ALL of us, show our butts off...

and CELEBRATE when hard work is paid off.

There are many sides to the early mornings, long days, & late nights of stockshows... My ten years of showing steers and pigs came to a close this past week.... And I wouldn't trade the experiences for anything in the world.

Showing is LOVE. And love is SHOWING.
