"I'm not dead yet!" ;)

 Oh my God! She's alive! Who knew?

Not my followers, that's for sure. It's been at least two months since I last posted, but when I put on this outfit before work today I knew I needed to write one. I left my face out of all the outfit pictures, because it was not beautified, and no one needs to see that. :P

I got the pants and top at a 60% off sale. It was a very happy day.

(Boo Yah!)

On wednesday I worked with David Terry Photography to photograph a wedding proposal!

Rachel is a fellow model here in Salt Lake City, and Todd is her boyfriend (now fiance.) They have planned on having David photograph their wedding for a long time, so Todd contacted David when he was planning to propose. David then contacted me and asked me to assist him. I started out pretending to model, until Rachel and Todd walked by. Then David asked if he could take pictures of them in front of the temple. When they stepped up to onto the pedastel, Todd proposed.

Here are some photos that David took of me before the event to test the lighting:

I was wearing my clip in extensions. My hair is only just past shoulder length, as you can see in the photos of my outfit.

The Proposal

This first photo was taken by David Terry, not me. I am using

it because I feel it is essential for the story. The rest were.

Todd also arranged for Rachels best friend and Maid of Honor to be there for the proposal, so she hopped in for some pictures.

Personals

Guys. I made a pumpkin. I'm pretty sure it is the most successfully artistic thing I've ever done in my life. It took forever. #ProudSmile

On the left you see, quite possibly, the cutest picture ever. That is my neice Lily. She is the cutest child ever, and she is crawling now. I love her. That is all.



Musical Fanaticism and Photos (Finally)

I think I'm going to start a tradition here on my blog. 

Musical Fanaticism and Photos.

Every Saturday (the day may change)

I may even turn it into a link-up, if there seems to be a lot of interest in it.

Empty Prayers- Mary J. Blige

I heard this song on Private Practice. They played it as a character was leaving rehab.

I absolutely love this song. It's very depressing. Like, tear worthy.

A Drop in the Ocean- Ron Pope

I heard this song on 90210.

I've been listening to it practically non-stop since Friday. It's perfect.

The chorus has been stuck in my head all day

The Last to Say- Atmosphere

The story in this song is heartbreaking.

I guess I just like depressing music. :P

Photos

From Seattle

It took me forever, but I finally got up some photos from Seattle!

Enjoy!

Home Again, Home Again...

Leave and don't look back??? HEAVENS NO!!

I will return someday. :)

I take up some pretty funny poses while taking photos. 

I'm headed home to Utah bright and early tomorrow morning... Well, maybe not so bright, but definitely early. I'm excited to see David tomorrow, but I'm not looking forward to going from this

to this...

I'm definitely a trees, moss and humidity girl....

Once I get home, I'm certain that you will see multiple posts about my trip, because I took so many pictures! Stay tuned for that, it's gonna be fun.

 

Cinco de.. AWESOME!!! ♥

When people are having a bad week/month/year, their biggest question is usually

"Why is my life so hard?"

My biggest question?

"How could my life possibly get any better?!"

This is my papa. He lives in California, but he was in town this weekend to see my brother and I. My brother just had a baby, and my dad finally got to meet his new grand baby. It was so good to see him, because I hadn't seen him since Thanksgiving. I have such good looking parents!

I bought this jumper about a year ago, and I LOVE it, but I've only had one chance to wear it since I bought it. Since today was warm, I had to pull it out!

I paired it with a white scarf, and my white flowery sandals. I actually bought those sandals and the scarf specifically to go with this outfit.

Jumper: CuteGirl.com     Scarf: 5.7.9   Sandals: Head Over Heels

I love this outfit because it is really comfortable, and super summery. The red is really fun, too, since I have fair skin and blue eyes!

Meet my cute 2nd cousin and her papa! She was such a ham for the camera!

RANDOMS

I went shopping today!!!!! (W/ David)

At the Gateway Mall. 

I bought myself these lotions from Bath and Body Works (which is probably my favorite store. I take great pride in how good I smell all the time.) My favorite is the Wild Berry Tulips.

I own close to 20 lotions from B&BW.

I also bought a new scent for my wall flower. (Carribean Escape)

I also bought some super cute stuff at Forever21 that will be featured in an outfit post ASAP.

The first store we went to was Anthropologie.

I was looking at all their cute furniture harware, and doorknobs, when I turn around and see this:

I giggled a little bit, then said "Don't move." and snapped a shot.

What a silly boy.

I don't like to get too personal, but I just wanted to let you know:

Raisin cookies

cookies are the

5k baby! Race Day Weekend... ♥

I'm quite certain that weekends can't get better than this!

On Friday night, I headed out to Logan to se my sister and run our 5k! The morning of the race, I ate oatmeal and drank a bottle of Cytomax to give myself some energy.

With my sister, before the race.

Lisa and I picked up our packets about half an hour before the race started, and then we warmed up and stretched out. (My favorite stretches are the butterfly stretch and any calf stretch. [Shin splints suck!])

Numba' 70!!!

The first half of the race was easy peasy. I had no problem keeping my breathing even, and I rather enjoyed it. The last half though... It was brutal. Everything hurt, I had to really concentrate on my breathing, and I was pretty much just trying to finish. Once I got to the last quarter mile, I picked up the pace. That's when things got really tough. I was cramping like crazy. At the very last stretch, I sprinted in and was feeling pretty proud of myself. Overall, I enjoyed the race. It was tough, but I'm proud of myself for doing it. I'm definitely gonne run a few more 5ks and at least one 10k before the Timp Marathon comes along in July.

My race t-shirt. Represent!

As Lisa and I were driving back to her house, she looked at the clock and realized that her Body Combat class had just started at the gym. We went straight from the race to the gym, and did an hour of Body Combat. I think I'm in love. I'm going to start taking classes at my gym now!

MEET RICHARD

After our Body Combat class, Lisa dropped me off with my friend Richard, and we talked for 15 minutes before he had to go to work. I got to ride on the back of his beautiful bike on my way back to my sister's house... It's very fast. Me likey. Motorcycles ROCK.

My niece and I.

I love authentic Mexican food.

My sister, her daughter, and I went out to eat on Saturday afternoon. It was super yummy. There's nothing like fresh chips ans salsa. The restaurant was called El Toro.

PHOTOGRAPHY

I took some pictures of m lovely niece this weekend. She was so cute and photogenic. I absolutely love her eyes.

My niece with her uncle (my brother.)

I did her hair for this little photoshoot. Here is a detail shot of her hair:

Funny Story!

Lisa, my niece, my brother, and I were driving around after we finished taking pictures, and she was being silly. She kept driving around in circles and my niece was complaining that she was car sick. Lisa, being the silly mama she is, kept teasing and driving in circles, so my niece insisted that her mom owed her some frozen yogurt. I was in. I love frozen yogurt!

Sweet coconut frozen yogurt with mango sauce and fresh fruit. Mmm....

"Hey Morgan, what was your favorite part of the weekend?"

I love my family, but my favorite part of the weekend, by far, was spending time with David. 

After I drove home from Logan on Saturday night, I took a long bubble bath then headed over to David's house. We spent most of today laying around and watching TV. It was a wonderful lazy day. :)

I'm watching "The Lincoln Lawyer", then I'm off to bed. I have work tomorrow!
