Life Update

  

 Holy moly it has been way too long! I just wanted to hop on here real quick and give yall a little update and apologize for being such a slacker! 

      I fell off the reading bandwagon for a while, but I started back a few months ago, so I will be doing book reviews again and monthly book updates. 

      A lot has happened in the last year. My father in law passed away in March from leukemia, part of the reason I went M.I.A. We had to move in with my mother in law to help my sister in law take care of him and help take care of my niece. Needless to say, it was crazy busy and beyond stressful. 

      We are still homeschooling but, Cadence is going back to public school this year! I am so scared and happy for her, lots of mixed emotions and anxiety. I know it is what she needs and will be good for her but that doesn't mean that this momma is okay with this new change! Haha, I will be...maybe be by the end of the year. Kord is staying home at least another year. (We school with a public school option at home called Epic One-on-One Charter School) We are working on getting his IEP finished and he will be in intensive reading therapy this year as well. Last year we were blessed with the most amazing teacher I could have ever asked for. She is our teacher again this year. She has worked so hard to get Kord to read, and I have no doubt that this year will be his breakthrough year! 

      Now for myself, well, not much to update either. Still no update on my disability. Still fighting the, what seems, the never ending battle. We did find out that I have Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, COPD, and of course Severe Asthma. So ummm,yeah, yay me! My lungs pretty much said screw you lets not work anymore! Haha! Around March I stumbled upon an amazing beauty community on Periscope. Some of the girls I have made life long friendships with. We talk nearly every day. Many of the girls have truly been a blessing to me. They have sent me "random acts of kindness" makeup boxes, makeup that I would have never been able to afford. They have been there to pull me out of a horrible depression slump. We even started a book club, part of the reason I am back to reading again. It has been great to have friends all over the world. If you're needing some amazing friends and LOVE makeup, I highly suggest joining our little community,{6543,Two, One, Makeup}. I also started a Youtube channel. I only have a few videos up. My computer crashed on me in the middle of editing a video! (insert crying huge rivers emoji!) I downloaded an app on my phone, so I hope to get back to videos soon as well. They won't be near as nicely edited but I suppose it will work for a temporary fix. 

      Hubby is doing good. He is busy working all the time. Not much to update on him. 

      That's about it on the homefront. Lots of little things happening and I can't wait to fill y'all in along the way. I am working on a few book reviews, so stay tuned for those.

Just thought I'd start...A little about us.

So I have been feeling for a little while that I needed to start a blog about our lives so here it goes. Hi, we are the Morgan's...Jeremy (Hubby) 31, Ashley (Me) almost 30 :(, we have been married for 10 years. How we met is a long story and totally worth a post all by its self. Together we have Cadence (Princess) 9, and Kord (Bubba) 8. We live in a small town in Oklahoma. As a family we love music. We love to play it, sing it, and dance to it! We love Jesus and try to serve him to the best of our abilities everyday. We love movies, there will be lots of movie reviews as well. We also love to try out new restaurants. I'm sure I'll throw in a few foodie reviews from time to time.

Hubby is currently going to college with a lot of prayer and pushing from me he finally took the leap and is going to OSU-IT to become a chef! So I am sure there will be lost of food pictures and recipes to go along with them! He loves and enjoys cooking but most of all he loves to bake! He is the back bone of our family, without him I feel absolutely lost!

Me...Well hum what can I say... I have been a stay at home mom for 10 years. I started homeschooling my kids 2 years ago. I was tired of the way the school was treating them and how much they weren't learning. I also wanted to be able to teach them in a better environment, where we could pray together, and talk about God without having to compromise. It has been the best decision I have ever made! We started out using the K12 curriculum and after 1 year of that mess we knew we needed a change! So now we are using Epic One on One which is an online charter school. And while its a great school and we have really enjoyed having a teacher I think my feet are wet enough to drive into traditional homeschooling. They kids are tired of being tied to a computer. Pray for us as we start a new journey!

Now on the to the 2 lights of my life...

Princess well she is just that a princess! She is very independent, with a wonderful corky side of her that has just recently started to blossom. She is defiantly a tween! She may only be 9 but she is very mature. She has an attitude (not one that's bad) that matches so sometimes I think she's a little teenager! She loves fashion, art, she loves to color and create all the time! She loves to dance an sing, and just like most girls her age she aspires to be a singer!

Now on to my baby, Bubba he is ALL boy! He loves to play outside, get as dirty as he can, and bug the fire out of his sister! He is following in his daddy's footsteps and loves music, and is learning to play the drums and the guitar. He is as tough as nails but a softy at heart. He is always lending a helping hand to people, most of the time without having to be told or asked, he truly has a servant's heart.  He is a mommas boy (not in a bad way), always knows just the right moment when momma needs a hug or a snuggle.

Well I guess that just about wraps us up in a nut shell. You will learn more about us over time and I hope to be able to bless y'all in some way down the road. I hope you come back and read more as I will try to post everyday.

God Bless,
Ashley
