So Many Plans

I feel like I should be walking around with a calendar because time is flying and I have a lot of big things planned in the next several months. I hope I don't forget to show up somewhere. Just so that all of you can feel part of my schedule, here's a look at what's coming:

* June 24-28 - Jersey and I are flying to NJ for our "Engagement Party - East," where we will get to catch up with lots of family and friends. I think we're saving some money on this trip by staying with her mom instead of getting a hotel room. By the way, if any of you will be near NJ (specifically Rockaway Township) and would like to come to our crazy party, let me know!

* July 1-20 - My sister is coming to visit! She's a teacher and will be on her summer vacation; I'm very glad that she will be spending so much time with us during her break. We are incredibly goofy when we are together, plus she and Jersey get along very well. It will be so much fun and I can't wait to see her.

* Early July - My mom's significant other, T., will be moving back to Vegas. He's been in Texas for a while (two or three years maybe...I've lost track) and I don't like that I've only been able to see him on brief visits. He's so much fun and life is better with him around. We plan to celebrate his return by grilling burgers and drinking rum.

* July 18 - "Engagement Party - West" will be held at my mom's home. How great is it that my sister and T. will be here for the fun?!? As with our other party, let me know if any of you will be around for the Vegas bash.

* September 3-8 - Crazy East Coast wedding weekend with lots of driving. This isn't 100% set yet, but it's looking pretty solid. Jersey and I will be flying to Boston, applying for a marriage license, hanging out somewhere in the general area for a couple of days (and seeing a blog friend or two?), driving down to NJ for a family wedding, coming back to MA with a probable visit to P-town, picking up the marriage license, and getting married in a tiny (legal!) ceremony. Mrs. Chili and Auntie, we'd love to meet up with you guys together/separately/however/wherever/whenever. Jersey and I don't mind driving all over the place, so don't worry about that. Auntie, if you're interested, shoot me an email (morgangirl11 at gmail dot com) and we can chat about it. Mrs. Chili, I know things are hectic in your life right now, so we can figure it all out as it gets closer. I can't believe I'm going to get married in a few months!

* April 24-May 1 - Big wedding and honeymoon time. While we are getting legally married in MA in September, the big wedding/reception in front of friends and family will be in Vegas on April 24, 2010. The honeymoon location has not been determined, but we have some ideas. I definitely understand why some people think that spending money/time/energy on a huge celebration is silly, but it's something that Jersey and I look forward to sharing with people. This will be a once in a lifetime party for us, so we're going to make it as special as possible.

So, did I miss anything?!?

Monday Meme

Here is a meme that I stole from my sister...

The Rules:

- Answer the questions below.
- Type your answers into Photobucket.
- Pick a picture from the results and post it as the answer.


1. What is your name?
Ok, so Morgan isn't my real name, but this picture was the inspiration for the alias.

2. How old will you be on your next birthday?


3. What is your occupation?

I know "Real Estate" is more of a field than an occupation, but you get the point.

4. What is your relationship status?


5. What do you want to be when you grow up?


6. What do you love most in life?

7. What do you like to do in your spare time?


8. Who is your celebrity crush?

Sorry, but I couldn't decide between serious Michael Vartan or smiling Michael Vartan, so I used both. Mmmmmm...

9. What is your favorite animal?
Giraffes are just funny. Really.

10. What is your favorite color?


11. What is your favorite book?


I really don't have a favorite book. I don't re-read books (I think I'm in the minority on that), and nothing is ranked significantly higher than everything else in my memory. I do, however, love Jonathan Kellerman's work. One of his non-fiction books is very similar to the senior honors thesis that I wrote in college and I'd love to audit a (few) graduate course(s) of his. A real life psychology career combined with writing murder mysteries...it's like my dream come true!

12. What is your favorite type of shoe?


I think it has to do with the vacation connotation.

13. What is your favorite Disney character?
14. Where is your favorite place to be?


15. What is your biggest annoyance?

16. What is your biggest fear?


17. What is your bad habit?


I could eat ice cream every day and it's something about which I've had to be very conscious during my attempt to be healthier. I don't even have a favorite flavor, though I have regular choices at most ice cream places. I. Love. Ice. Cream.

18. What is your mood right now?
