KSU or bust!!

I got home from Montana Wednesday night and was met in the airport by most of my best friends!! It was wonderful, thank y'all for being there!! I was literally shaking because I was so glad to see everyone!! I miss my Montana mountains and rivers, but it's so good to be home. Last night was the first night since I've been home that I've slept in one bed TWICE!
I moved into my cousin Angie's house on Saturday night, and things are going pretty well so far!! Sunday morning I drove two hours to my dad's house to go to church with him, and it was so great! Besides the sleep deprivation, I got to see my daddy!! And go to church for the first time in two months!! woohoo!!!

So here I stand in the Sturgis Library on the KSU campus waiting for my first class! I've been on campus since 10:30 this morning, and my first class is at 2!! I wanted to attempt to change my schedule, but no such luck... almost all of the classes are closed... But that's alright!! I realized earlier how much books cost! I spent $370!! OUCH!! Thank goodness for scholarships... I'm not as nervous about my classes as I was a few days ago, but I think that's because the ball is rolling now... you know, I'm moved it, I'm getting used to the roads, etc. So I'll be sure to let y'all know how my classes go today!! :)

The next few weeks promise to be exciting!! This weekend is the One Thing conference in Atlanta with Dave, Erich, Allison, and Ms Rita! So that's awesome!! And then the NEXT weekend Natalie and Summer and Jimmy come back to Georgia to go SKYDIVING and to SIX FLAGS and just to hang out for the whole weekend!! SOOOO exciting!! I simply canNOT wait!!! *hugs to y'all... can't wait to see ya!!*

Alright! So that's it for now! Talk to y'all later!!
*more hugs*

Severed Fingers??? What?!?

Saturday was my long day, meaning that Sunday we had free to do anything! Natalie and I had ORIGINALLY planned to hike Hawley that day, but after much consideration of time restrictions and of OURSELVES, we decided that hiking Hawley was probably not the best of ideas... so we hiked the Speculator trail instead!! We had planned to hike up to the West Boulder Plateau, but, intelligent as we are, we didn’t look at the topo map before going! We hiked STRAIGHT up about 2000 feet and were pretty exhausted. We enjoyed our Clif bar lunch and were quite disgusted by the dried peaches (or “old people ears” as David so lovingly dubbed them) so we threw them in the river. (they smelled AWFUL!!!!!!!!) On our way back down we came to a clearing and decided to sit and look out over the mountains. Natalie would journal and I would read... great idea!! Until, of course, about 5 minutes later when we felt the foretelling raindrops!! As we looked up, we saw none other than a HUGE BLACK CLOUD!!! We pretty much raced down the mountain to avoid getting stuck in the thunderstorm miles from camp, praying the whole way “Please Lord, let us get out of the mountains before that cloud pops!” After a few slightly rolled ankles and a couple last minute pictures, two very jarred girls emerged from the mountains!! RIGHT as the rain started!! Our mile walk back to the camp was a very WET one!! Apparently God thought we smelled bad... He gave us a shower... :) Natalie and I had a blast!!

My other update will, I’m sure, make several of you mad at me!! Yesterday was a short day, and the four of us in the kitchen were preparing taco salads for lunch!! I was cutting the lettuce (a bad idea for the women in my family, apparently...) when all of the sudden my knife bit my left thumb!!! I think I must have been in shock, because I realized that I had cut myself, took off my gloves, said, “Alright, guys, I just cut myself... sorry...” and proceeded to walk around the kitchen aimlessly for a few seconds while blood was dripping everywhere... Ms. Judy to save the day!!! She immediately went into “First Aid” mode and told me to run it under cold water and got me a rag to put pressure on it. I forced myself to be tough and SOMEHOW didn’t cry! I paced for a few minutes getting myself together and then attempted to call Kent or Jenny over our radio which I soon found to be dead! It was only about 40 minutes until lunch, and almost everything was done, so upon Natalie’s suggestion I went to find Kent. When I got there and told him that I had cut myself and showed it to him (and looked at it MYSELF for the first time) I realized that I had cut THROUGH my left thumbnail and didn’t know how deep below the nail the cut was. Kent suggested that I go to the clinic in Big Timber just in case, and then we all stood around for about 10 minutes... I’m not really sure why... I started asking if he wanted me to do anything like fill out paperwork and that’s when I think he realized that I was still standing there bleeding! I DID fill out my workman’s comp stuff as the person who brought me to the clinic got ready, and then we were off! We arrived at the Pioneer Clinic in Big Timber, filled out all of the same forms again, and then the doctor saw me. You’ll never believe this part. When the doctor entered the room and said “hello” I knew IMMEDIATELY that he wasn’t from Montana... he HAD to be from the south!! I asked where he was from and he said GEORGIA!!! This man, Dr. Kirby Somethingorother interned in THOMSON with DR. WILLS’ SON!! That’s right, the doctor from Washington! He had been to the Tour of Homes several times and was raised in Calhoun. It was the wildest thing! We talked about things that we missed from the south... fried okra... mashed potatoes... sweet tea... fried chicken... it was a great moment. ANYWAYS! They just cleaned me up and the cut hadn’t gone too deep below my nail, so they didn’t even have to take it off! Horray!! I did, however, get a really big thumb-sling! It was interesting... and interesting to shower with!! Gotta love trash bags and hairties!! So yeah!! For those of you who are beginning to wonder if I’m coming home in one piece, YES!! I am STILL in one piece!! And I only have 6 more days to survive!! :)

I love y’all a ton, and I’m gonna go have some more adventures!! :)

*morgan

This week has been a BLUR!

SO!! Another update!!

My last post was when I was in Livingston with Jill... The next day we all got up and went tubing (or “floating”) down the Yellowstone River. That was quite an adventure!! We went over a rapid, and my tube got a hole in it (“I’m bubbling!! Jill!! What’s going on?! I’m bubbling!! I’M SINKING!!!” J) So then Jill and I doubled up on one of the bigger tubes until we went over ANOTHER rapid further down and flipped our raft! No one knows exactly how we did it... not even the people who WATCHED us flip!! I guess we just lost balance or something... SO! Instead of getting BACK in the raft, I gave up, and me and one of the other girls floated about two miles of the Yellowstone River in our lifejackets!! It was LOTS of fun!! Until it was time to take out!! The current suddenly got really strong, and I could NOT stand up!! The other girl is bigger than me, so after about five tries she FINALLY was able to get out of the river. I, meanwhile, was trying my best, but could not even stop myself to attempt to stand up!! (My legs are all beat up to prove it!! LOTS of bruises!!) I finally just gave up and floated down the river toward a bridge and grabbed on to one of the legs of it (I’m sure there’s a technical term for the “leg of the bridge,” but that’s what I’m calling it!!). At this point I started to wonder if I should be panicking, seeing as there was NO way that I could help myself... The water was pulling me down, but I managed to hold on for a while until someone finally noticed me there (I had visions of helicopters from rescue TV shows...). This guy came running toward me Baywatch style (he was stripping his shirt off as he ran at me!! I didn’t know what to think!!), and when he stepped in the deep part of the river he almost lost his balance and went down with the current, too!! He told me to grab onto his shirt and he would pull me out. As I was turning to say “Are you sure?” the current pulled me and I lost my balance again! I reached out and grabbed his shirt and he pulled me out of the river!! He had to steady me the entire way back to shore, even in the shallow parts, because my legs were so shaky. So! I have now been rescued from the Yellowstone River!!

Last week we had a cancer camp here... They were lots of fun! It was really hard, though. One lady was pretty much on her death bed, but she wanted to see her kids have fun and celebrate their birthdays at camp, so they all came out anyway... (She has a 27 year old son, an 11 year old daughter, and two 8 year old daughters... all of the girls have the same birthday.) About half way through the camp, she came out onto the deck (her first time out of her room) to watch her kids play, and several of us had an intense urge to pray for her, but no one said anything. Upon later discussion, we all decided to ask her if she would let us come and pray with her in her room, but she denied the request. That was REALLY hard. What’s worse, later that day we heard talk of them trying to Life Flight her out of camp because she was having a hard time breathing and couldn’t sit up on her own. We contacted Life Flight, but they said that they couldn’t come and get her, so we had an ambulance come from Big Timber. It is an hour to Big Timber, and the ambulance got here in 15 minutes... pretty crazy. Anyways, we were all really upset, and I was crying. (It was weird; it was kinda like crying TO God FOR her...) It was really pretty traumatic for our ministry team. Right before the kids left, I walked out of the kitchen and told them that we were praying for them, and I hugged the 11-year-old girl. I cried throughout the rest of the morning, and as they loaded the lady up in the ambulance I stood outside the back of the kitchen and prayed as I watched them. Later, after they had all left, the camp honcho came up to me and said, “I have a gift for you. A little girl saw you standing down here and asked me to give this to you.” I asked her if it was the 11 year old, and she said yes. I took the delicate tissue that she offered me and opened it up. Inside lay two young pinecones. It broke my heart. That was one of those gifts that you never forget, you know? *sigh* it broke my heart...

One more update!! Today was a fun day! I got to drive the tractor and the weird lawn mower, which was lots of fun! I thought I was gonna die, but luckily didn’t! Our managers and their family left camp today to go into town, which left their house WIDE OPEN for a prank!! Justin and I wrapped caution tape all around their house and put up lots of signs! We made a cardboard dead guy and threw him in the driveway and put more caution tape around him (they have a gravel driveway, so a chalk outline was impossible...)! We had a blast! They JUST drove up to their house, so I guess we’ll see what they say tomorrow!!

That’s all for now!!!
1 week and 6 days (13 days) until mama gets here, and 2 weeks and 1 day (15 days) until I get home!!

People keep saying that these next two weeks are gonna fly, but I have a feeling that they will be the longest two weeks of my life! Because I MISS Y'ALL!!

I love y’all a TON and hope to talk to you soon!!!

*hugs*

20 days/22 days...

Hello all!!
So I know I haven’t posted in a while... sorry!! The past week or so has been fun! Last Wednesday our team went down to Four Mile, which is a swimming hole in the river about four miles up the road (what a coincidence!). I didn’t swim because I’m used to my eighty degree water in Georgia and this was somewhere in the forties, but there was a point where you could walk across to a sandbar so I did that! Then Natalie, Kallie, and I decided to hike down the side of the river a ways to some falls… We got there and marveled for a while, but you know I’m never content so I wanted to get to a really cool looking spot ACROSS the river! I got Kallie in on it, and she and I went way back up stream to the shallow part and crossed and bush-whacked our way back down stream to my rock! We didn’t really want to go aaaalllllll the way back up stream to get back to the other side, so we decided to try and find a really rocky point in the river and just cross there! That point just happened to be right above the falls!! (Don’t you just LOVE my stories!!) We contemplated crossing there for about ten minutes because the water was really moving and was really deep in some points. We got a small downed tree that had been smoothed by the river and used it to get to our first rock... Kallie went first and I held her hand as she crossed the tree to stable her, and then she held on to the tree to stabilize it as I crossed. We got to our next rock, and Kallie thought that I was holding on to the tree and I thought that SHE was holding it, so we watched it fall into the river, leaving us too far in to go back and without any aid to finish crossing! Never fear, though! We could handle it!! We strategically crossed the remaining rocks until we got to our last obstacle! The rock that we had to get to was across a mini waterfall, and the water was moving very rapidly!! After contemplating the best way to cross for about 5 minutes and then being too afraid to do what we had to do for about 3 MORE minutes, I finally lunged across the waterfall and grabbed onto our next rock for all I was worth! I then stretched really far across the waterfall, grabbed Kallie’s hand, and pulled her across with me! SUCCESS!! We were so proud of ourselves!! Natalie has video and numerous pictures from our adventure, but you know the connection here, so I can’t get them up!!
Mama ordered my laptop for me, so it should be here in a few days, which is REALLY exciting!! I now have a laptop AND a digital camera! Technology here I come!
I had a really hard night Sunday night... I was having a hard time dealing with one of the girls here and was venting to several others about it… God really convicted me of it at our church service that night so I was in the back crying. I had to get up and sign, and I was like, “God, you know I can’t do this on my own right now, so you’re gonna have to do this through me!” and he was faithful, as usual!! I successfully finished signing and sat down and continued crying because the speaker was really good!! I started to get really homesick and went back to the cabin after the service and called Mr. Tyler and asked him to pray for me. More tears, whaddaya know... I just really wanted to see the people I love (that means you!!)...
Yep, that’s pretty much my week! I had to put up with my first vulgar comment from a guest last night, so that’s no fun, but I told my boss so things are being handled...

I love y’all a TON and I can’t wait to see you in 3 weeks and 1 day!! I get to see Mama in 2 weeks and 6 days!! Horray!!!
*hugs*
Love y’all...

So today was a blast!!
Two of Kallie's friends came up, and on our day off the four of us plus Alli went on a couple of hikes!! The first one we went on was pretty short and there wasnt much to see, but after that we went up to Natural Bridge and that was pretty sweet!! We hiked (aka slid) down the side of the mountain so we could get a better look at the falls... it was pretty much straight down. i fell into a "nettle" which is some bush that stings you a lot!! I now have little bumps all over my right hand and on the inside of my left arm that hurt!! anyways, we got down there and i took lots of pictures, as usual. we climbed all over the valley down there and it was so beautiful! as i was crossing the river at one point, i jumped from a tree that extended about half way across the river to a boulder that was right in front of me, but down some and hit my knee really really REALLY hard against the face. yeah. it hurt. my knee is now swollen and very bruised. but thats okay! we were having fun!! at one point kallie, alli and i went off on our own and left the guys sitting in a cave. we crossed the river and climbed up on a cliff and sat there just looking for a few minutes. when we decided to get up to leave, kallie and alli went down the way we came up, but i saw some rocks that i wanted to cross the river on. i only had to get down the side of the cliff i was standing on to get there! i had to get from one level of my cliff to the next, and the difference was about twice my height. i was gonna climb down onto the next level and avoid the really big crack in the rock walls that i could fall into if i stepped wrong (the crack was just big enough for me to fall down into... scary!). as i was climbing down i realized that every handhold i grabbed for was falling off! there was nothing stable to grab! (im a genius, cant you tell??) so here i am stranded on the side of a cliff too afraid to just jump down for fear that i will fall into this crack. what to do? call for help!! i yelled for kallie to come help me up, but she thought that i was just going to show her something, so she took her time. meanwhile i'm hanging on the side of a cliff by one handhold and a small foothold. yeah, doesnt sound too terrifying to you eagle scouts, im sure, but for the inexperiened climber that i am it was horrible! obviously, kallie came to my rescue and i lived to tell the tale.
you remember that hike/slide down the mountain to get into the valley at the beginning? yeah... that was TONS of fun to come back up!! i pretty much did iton all fours.

all in all we had a blast!! very eventful, but that just added to the day.
wish you could have been there... really, i do.

LOVE YOU A TON!!

Update from Montana

Hey y'all!!
Okay, so I know I've been bad about posting lately, I'm sorry... So we had a family reunion last weekend and they were amazing!! Their name was the Jimmersons, and they are a new extension of my adopted family!! They're so much fun... they had jam sessions every night - banjo, several guitars, and LOTS of talented singing!! SO MUCH FUN!!! THey're AMAZING cooks!! They make these cookies that are to DIE for!! I know when their family reunion is next year, and I'm invited! And I'm planning on attending!!
We had a staff day yesterday, so we all went "rafting" (more like floating leisurely down a river... NO rapids at all!!) on the Yellowstone River. I saw two bald eagles!! I'd never seen one before!! It was pretty cool... Afterward we went to Bozeman to go shopping, and that was tons of fun... I, once again, spent more money than I should have. But I got cute stuff!! :)
We don't have any people here this week, and then have a family reunion of about 100 people this weekend. The next week we were SUPPOSED to have a UMC camp, but not enough people signed up, so they cancelled! I just got switched to the afternoon crew (away from Natalie!! *pout*), so I get to sleep in now! I still like the morning crew better... apparently I get to go back to morning crew in two weeks, so that's exciting.
We haven't been hiking in forever!! I swear! It rains EVERY DAY here!! Every afternoon it storms for about an hour, so we don't get to go out and play when we want to! *pout*

That's pretty much all that's goin on here... A slow week after a very hectic two weeks.
Oh, and yesterday was 1 year for me and David, so that's exciting... too bad I couldn't see him... I know God is doing a TON in all of us this summer, so that makes it easier not to see people.

As of today I have been here for 4 weeks and have 5 weeks left. WOW.
Love y'all a ton and miss every one of you...
Sweet dreams, all!!

*morgan

super-homesick!!!

im so homesick... you have no idea.

Journal Entry from 6-28-2006

Father, as I lay here in the outdoor chapel, I feel you drawing me nearer. As I watch these children play and gaze on these majestic mountains, I feel you making my heart ever more tender. I hear your heartbeat in the river and in the birds. The contrast of the grandeur of the scenery and the intricacies of each flower petal, of each insect's wing - Lord you never cease to amaze me. I am in awe. And yet you created man. Man - what you call the pinnacle of your creation. Man - the single organism responsible for the degradation of so much of your beautiful world, for your heartache. Even so you still love man - you still love ME. Your imperfect, rebellious child. Father, I could question your unfailing love. I could search you for the logic behind your constant forgiveness. But that's just it. There is no logic - you need no explanation. And I am amazed. Lord thank you and thank you again. For seeing me fit for that kind of love. God I want that kind of love. I want to offer that to others. Make me a woman who is strong enough in you to LIVE that love and PRACTICE that love.

Father, renew me. Put a new, vibrant, unquenchable spirit in me. Purify my heart!!

"...Refiner's Fire
My heart's one desire
Is to be holy
Set apart for you, Lord
I choose to be holy
Set apart for you my Master
Ready to do your will..."

SUPER short post!!

Im about to be late (imagine that) to a training thing, so i cant post details yet, but thursday i might be going somewhere that i can actually post pictures!!!
WOO!!!!!
and we went camping last night!! another woo!!

I LOVE YALL and i cant wait till yall see pictures of this place!!!
TONS of love and i miss ALL of you!!!

A DAY OFF!!

Hey all!!
So today was my day OFF which ended up being AMAZING!! Me and the girls who are on my shift didnt wake up till SEVEN FIFTEEN which was AWESOME!!! That's the latest I've slept since I've been here!!
So Kallie, Natalie, and I (they're my hiking buddies!!!) ate breakfast and then went back up to the cabin to be lazy for a while... we read Natalie's adventure magazines and talked for a while and then at about noon we went back down for lunch! After that, the three of us went on our hike for the day! It was SO much fun!! We hiked about a mile and a half, but we bush-wacked most of the way! (for those of you who dont know, bush-wacking is when you make your own trail! I just found that out the other day...) It was a blast! We saw a meadow on the side of a mountain across the river from us and decided that we wanted to go! We hiked about a mile up the river to a GORGEOUS bridge to cross... We followed some game trails (deer and elk trails, we think) for a while and then "bush-wacked" our way through marshes (strangely enough) and over LOTS AND LOTS of down trees to the meadow! I actually have video of Kallie and I attempting to get across several large trees to the other side of the trail!! It was interesting!
We had a blast, though, and I can't wait until our hike tomorrow!!

Okay, so I've gotta run because I'm only allowed 15 mins on the phone per night, so I LOVE Y'ALL A TON!!! I miss you...
Mama and Ms Rita, I need to know when y'all are coming as soon as possible! I need to put in advanced notice for visitors, and the sooner I know the better!!

TONS OF LOVE!!
*morgan

Okay guys!! So this will be a relatively short post, but PRAISE GOD i actually got to post!! The staff computer is REALLY REALLY REALLY slow, and its dial-up, which makes it even worse!!

I love yall so much and I miss you all a ton!! I hate not getting to talk to everyone whenever I want, but you all know that I love you!! We might actually get to go to church tomorrow which will be AWESOME!! we'd end up stealing one of the staff members cars and then driving an HOUR to a church!! WOW!!

(SUMMER, BEFORE I FORGET, I NEED YOUR ADDRESS!!!)

I tried to upload some pictures from my NEW AWESOME DIGITAL CAMERA just now, but the connection is just way too slow, and today was my 12 hour day, so i'm pretty exhausted...
ill try again later! ive got some awesome pics from the past week!!
i wish you could be here...

LOVE!!!
*morgan

(I miss you, David!)

Camp Address

Okay! So I told a few people that I would post my camp address here for a short time and then delete it, but I figured (as did my dad) that I have pictures of myself up here, and adding a LOCATION would NOT be the best of ideas!
Therefore!
I'm going to email my camp address to everyone that I have, and if you don't get it, email Mr. Tyler or my mom and get it from one of them! (Sorry Mr. Tyler and Mama!! I know I just kinda put y'all on the spot!! I LOVE Y'ALL!!)
So that's the update. Now. I haven't slept in almost 36 hours, so I'm gonna go do that for a few hours before I have to wake up to get on the plane tomorrow!!

BY THE WAY!!
I am officially registered for classes at KSU now!! WOO! I'm registered for 14 hours fall semester... my classes include Econ, Psychology, Math Modeling (yes, Doug, that is what you call the "dumb" math class... oh well!!), my KSU freshman class, and a required PE class type thing that sounds like a lot of fun!! So there!! (oh yeah, and NO FRIDAY CLASSES!!! WOOOOO!!!)

Love Y'all!!
*morgan

So I'm litterally running out the door to head to Kennesaw State for orientation today... it starts at 8:15 and ends around 3. They don't actually know that I'm coming today because no one will TALK to me... so I'm just kind of showing up...
After orientation, I'm gonna meet my daddy and step mom to spend a few last minutes with them. Woo! (that was not a sarcastic "woo," fyi)
Then mom and I are gonna spend the night at my grandma's house since it is closer to the airport...
And the real kicker?
I just pulled an all nighter... go me!
I definately didnt start packing until 10!!
Gotta go!!

*morgan

thanks, natalie and doug for stayin up with me!

I LOVE EVERYONE and ill update when I can!!
Let's go to MONTANA!!!

MONTANA BOUND!

So! It's official... I'm going to Montana Saturday morning at 7am. We finally booked the ticket... (yeah, we were pushing it, i know!) I'm SO excited about going, and a little excited about leaving Washington for a while! I realized today that I don't have a digital camera. Yeah, strange realization, I know... the reason this came upon me so suddenly was because I realized that I would no longer be able to post pictures! (The pictures from the last blog were off of my mom's camera... which she won't let me take... *pout*) I'm hoping someone at the camp will have one that they will be willing to let me use and post pictures... But if not, it will be a very picture-free summer! Oh well, I'll just have to use my increadibly extensive vocabulary and PAINT the pictures for you!! :)

Natalie, Douglas, Erich, and I are planning on going to Six Flags tomorrow! I'm SO excited! I've been wanting to go for MONTHS now, and it's happening! It's really happening!! haha... We have hung out a lot the past couple of days... Huddle House at 1 am... movies at 2... Augusta for no reason at 12... It's been a lot of fun (even though I keep falling asleep! haha)... I'm really gonna miss everyone when I leave, but that's what letters (and blogs) are for, right??

Today is my REAL last day of work, even though I thought I quit 3 weeks ago, so I'd better go get ready for that... ugh. Oh well!!

Have a great day!!
*morgan

Graduation and New Blogging Skills!!!

So I've decided I'm gonna try to be brave and go ahead and try out my picture posting skills!! Thanks, Jennifer! You're the best!!

These are pictures of mine and Summer's graduation party as well as graduation night! woo! I think that was one of the best nights of my life! Thank you to everyone who was involved and everyone who came! I love you all!!

Hey everyone!!
So I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon and get my own blog!!
Besides, I really want to get away from myspace, and a lot of the people that I love are here anyway!!
As soon as I figure out how to post pictures and things on here, I'll start doing that!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Love y'all!!
