Weekend Wrap-up!

Things I did this Weekend:

-Cleaned! (closets, kitchen, den, bedroom)... I am extremely messy. My initials spell MES and I fully blame that for my messy ways. I hate cleaning. Lately I have been finding myself actually cleaning a lot and that is probably because I have had a million other things to do. I always find myself in a cleaning mood when I need to do homework. But... it did need to be done and it is making me feel better so I won't complain. 

An example of why I needed to clean!

-Watched a lot of movies... I remember why I love Netflix. Watched some old favorites: Aladdin, Land Before Time, Sweet Home Alabama and I discovered some new to me movies: When Harry met Sally and some Hallmark movie. Let me tell you this girl should not watch love movies when she can't be with her boyfriend. It was an emotional mess full of all the girly meltdowns you can imagine. 

-Cooked some new things! On Friday a friend came over and we made a big pot of gluten-free chili and grilled cheese... It was the perfect stay at home, cold, rainy night! And then on Saturday I tried a new chicken recipe (that I found on the back of the Ranch bottle and tweeked it a bit) and some mashed potatoes. Even though it looks funky (mainly because of my picture taking skills) it was very good and I will Definitely be making it again! 

-Made some cute things... these were another "Morgan puts off her homework project" but I think they turned out very cute! Let me just tell you... craft bloggers are usually liars. I have seen countless blogs describing how easily those cloth flowers can be made. On a difficulty scale I would give it a 6 (10 being the hardest thing I have ever done). For one thing I burned my finger with the glue gun at least 10 times. It also takes a little time to figure out the best way for you to hold it. But once you figure it out and your fingers go numb, you end up with very cute flowers! You can put them on headbands or shirts (with fabric glue),  or just on a canvas like I did... Maybe soon I will know some little girls to make flower headbands for ;) 

all three canvases

The wreath took me about 15 min. I have made them before and they are super easy! A 2.5 on the Morgan Difficulty scale! If you can cut and tie then you can make this too! This is going to be my Spring wreath for my door!

-I went to Church. I always leave Englewood feeling encouraged and excited about what God is doing. It is so crazy because I feel like they always play the songs I need to hear and Bro. Ben always gives the sermon as if he is talking directly to me about an issue I have. So many other people have to feel this same way. We are studying Exodus. This is two weeks in a row Bro Ben has said something about not feeling equipped or good enough to do what you are called to do and not comparing yourself to others saying "but he/she is better than me so I can't do it... Surely God wants them to do it not me". HELLO MORGAN! Both weeks I have written it down. Next week I might get it tattooed on my forehead. Because this is me right now. Applying for jobs is intimidating me to death... getting into a Graduate program, can I do that? Well the truth is if I am doing my best and trusting in Him, God is going to open doors and equip me to do exactly what He wants me to. Why I think I can do it all on my own... I do not know. Why I think worrying is going to make it better... because I am real dumb. I am so full of "I am not good enough"s... I am gonna work on that. Let me just tell you that I am not a preacher and I am sure if Ben read this he would be like Oh my gosh she butchered that sermon haha but you can listen to him @ ebcjackson.org and I promise you will not be wasting your time. 

-Went to Chilis! Callie's boyfriend, Jacob, invited me to go to lunch with them and his dad at Chilis. I had a wonderful time with great conversation plus free lunch. I was living the life! Chilis always makes me think of a certain boy who loves Chilis. I can't wait to go there with him soon. I know we aren't away from each other for that long but it often feels like forever. (5 weeks is pretty long) How army people ever do it... I do not know! I miss the little things like going to Chilis and watching him get upset because the waiter didn't bring his salad out first... or watching him look at the menu even though he always orders the same thing. 2 more weeks until Spring Break and Chilis with my favorite boyfriend. I can't wait for that. 

-And lastly... I put it off long enough and eventually I had to do my homework! Today I have done 3 online quizzes, a rough rough draft for my Experimental paper (this is a huge deal... If I fail it then no graduation), another paper for Social Deviance, and my Counseling questions. It was a lot. And there is always more of course... So now I get to do a few more homework things and watch Desperate Housewives! Again is it Spring Break yet?

All in all it was a GREAT weekend! I am rested and ready and a week ahead of schedule on all my work... hopefully this week will be nice to me. Bring it on Monday! *Also I have a huge meeting tomorrow at 3 over some school things that need to be worked out. Please pray that it will all work out the way it needs to and that no matter what I won't freak out over it!
