Mr. & Mrs.

Mayborn Musuem

Because of our car mishap on the way back to San Antonio, we stayed the night with Matt & Katie! It was nice to spend some time with them because we don't get to see them very much. Katie works at the Baylor Mayborn Museum, so she gave us the ultimate tour! Thanks Katie for showing us around! It was a great way to spend our anniversary.

We predicted the weather.

Josh: "It's goin' rain"

Morgan: "Ugh... It's... ugh. Grood. I mean good. I mean great."

Josh & his freak eye. Now that's talent.

This it what a Kaleidoscope would look like if Josh & I were inside. Who wouldn't want that?

Josh creating a tornado with his bare hands. What a man.

Josh & I playing piano "Big" style. I think. I've never actually seen the movie.

Katie & I!

Not really sure what this is. Guitar? Cello? Lyre?

We then had a jumping contest.

Matthew seeing how far he could jump.

Josh looks like a frog.

Katie showing the boys up.

I participated too, but I was in a dress and it would not be lady like of me to post my picture.

Fact: Wooly Mammoths were 14 ft. tall.

Fact: A herd of Mama & Baby Mammoths were found near Baylor.

Fact: Baylor is awesome... even Wooly Mammoths think so.

"Sic 'em Bears!"

Another fact: Don't mock your elders (or the Baylor Bears) or female bears will come out of the forest and maul you. It's in the B-I-B-L-E.

2 Kings 2:24

This picture was taken right after I specifically told Josh not to be offensive and stereotypical towards Native Americans.

"Hey Buffalo." - Josh & Morgan

One more fact: I went to Jackson Elementary School and we were the Buffalos.

We had a real buffalo mascot named Tatonka.

But one time they were driving her somewhere, and she fell out of the trailer and got run over by traffic. It was horrible.

I'm not sure why I told you that story...

Other than I'm a little depressed to be standing next to this stuffed buffalo.

{Insert Debbie Downer music: wah wah wah}

On a more positive note, the museum also has a restored historic village.

I like to call this one:

"Going (or running) to the chapel and we're gonna get married!!"

Josh... I'd marry you all over again if I could!

Happy 3 years of being married!!

And they lived happily ever after!

Our awesomely awesome tour guide! Thanks Katie! We had so much fun!

the end.

Car Crap.

On our way home from Dallas... we had just about made it scratch free until Josh changed lanes and we hit an 18 wheeler's ginormous tire. Awesome. We hit it square on and completely ran over it in Josh's little car. Poor Mazda. We could tell something was dragging, so we pulled off the highway just outside of Waco. No one was hurt thankfully... except for Matilda the Mazda.

So mad.

Chillin' on I35.

Why oh why!? So close... yet so far away.

Mr. Fix it with a key chain flashlight & needle nose pliers.

We called my brother and his wife to come pick us up because we weren't sure if we could drive it. Right after I called Matt, a nice man from Wal-Mart Tire & Lube pulled up and helped us! He took off the plastic undercarriage (???) piece that was dragging and said it wasn't a necessary piece (??!?!?!) Good enough for us! We hopped back in our car and drove to Matt & Katie's just to be safe!

jesus culture.

Part of the reason Josh & I went to Chicago was that Jesus Culture had a conference in Valparaiso, Indiana. Josh & I are obsessed with this band and when we found out they would be playing live near Chicago, we wanted "to go to there"! These people (Kim Walker-Smith, Chris Quilala, and Melissa Howe) know how to truly worship and have challenged Josh & I in our previous conceptions of what "worship" truly is.

Worship isn't just singing a few songs before a sermon. It is a lifestyle of loving Jesus and giving all that we are to the only One who is Worthy. He is Worthy of everything I have and everything I do. So when I sing songs to Him in worship, it is coming from the overflow of my heart because He is who He says He is. Salvation is a free gift, but it will cost me my whole life. It is a radical love and life, one that I don't completely understand and fail constantly at. But I know that God wants ALL of me, not just part of me. He "won't relent until He has it ALL." He is passionately and jealously in love with all of us. Worship is my feeble response to His crazy love for me.

"The LORD your God is with you,

he is mighty to save.

He will take great delight in you,

he will quiet you with his love,

he will rejoice over you with singing."

Zephaniah 3:17

I took a couple of pictures from my iPhone. It was such a great experience and Josh & I learned so much! If you ever have the opportunity to see them live... DO IT!

Jesus Culture Band

Jesus Culture has four albums out. They are ALL amazing. You should own all of them.

Check them out at jesusculture.org. And for your viewing pleasure... here are some of my favorite songs:

How He Loves Us

He is jealous for me

Love's like a hurricane, I am a tree

Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy

When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory

and I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me.

Oh, how He loves us so

Oh, how He loves us

How He loves us so.

We are His portion and He is our prize,

Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes

If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking

So heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss and my heart turns violently inside of my chest

I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way

Yeah, He loves us

Oh, how He loves us

Oh, how He loves us

Oh, how He loves.

'

Seriously. You just have to buy it and listen to them ALL. Simply amazing.

Chicago or Bust.

Joshua & I decided to take a little vacation/anniversary trip during my break between summer school and the fall semester. It had been a long summer for me, so I was ready to get out of town for a little while! We decided to make a little (1241 mile) road trip to the Chicago area!

On our way!

Pit stop somewhere in Oklahoma (where the wind comes sweeping down the plain...)

We drove Joshua's car because it gets much better gas mileage than mine. Unfortunately, it is a standard. The last time I drove a standard, I managed to slam my head into the steering wheel because I mistook the clutch for the break. Whoops. I was going to try again for the trip, but I was too afraid of crashing. So poor Josh drove the ENTIRE way. What a man ... what a man... what mighty mighty good man (Yes he is!)

He was VERY excited about this.

At this point of the trip, our air conditioner stopped working. So we rolled down the windows and pretended we were in a tornado. We are also tired of driving by now.

At which point I started telling Josh really funny jokes. Because I'm funny like that. At least I think I am.

After 15 hours of (Josh) driving, we made it to Chicago!!! We spent the next day in Geneva with Josh's mom. We went to a beautiful GREEN park! It is so much different than brown, rainless, 189 degree weather Texas.

Us & a big tree.

We even stopped to smell the roses (eer... daisies).

We went paddle-boating.

Josh's mom took us on a tour of Geneva, a quaint little town near their house. There were so many cute shops along the main street. I fell in love with this little church!

We ended our tour of Geneva with some ice cream for Josh! It was such a beautiful day and was nice to just sit outside in the breeze. So much different than Texas!
