Addict

Sometimes you just find your spot. 

You love it. 

They love you. 

The food speaks to you. 

And you just can't stop going back. 

That is Bombay House for us. 

They know us. 

We love them. 

More pages of stories...

Just before I finished the Divergent series, I picked up this gem. 

A friend had recommended it to me right when I started reading Divergent. 

I quick 5 days later, I was a hot mess.... again. 

Confession: I was watching my sisters kiddos for 5 days and found myself zonked out at 10:00pm with the kiddos.  My body in complete shock with the amount of sleep woke up at 5:00am and I was wide awake.  

 I started to read the last 100 pages.  At 6:30, I was a puddle of tears and without anymore stories.   

They are releasing a movie of this book next month.  

I will be excited to see the story on the big screen. 

But word to the wise, John Green is a Nicholas Sparks type of writer.  

Leaves you sad. 

What is the next book I should read?  

Needs to have a love story in it. 

My fictional love affair...

I am not a gal that reads excessively. 

But when I find a book that I love, I just read and read and read. 

For the month of April, some of my best included, Tris and my main squeeze, Tobias.

I'm embarrassed to admit how heart broken I was when I finished the series. 

Complete confession: I finished it at 1:30am on a Thursday night with tears streaming down my cheek. 

The ending shocked me. 

Slightly broke my heart. 

and I was sad it was over. 

I wanted more.

You know when you have a self identifying moment with a character?

That was me. 

With Tris during the beginning of Allegiant, with then quickly switched to Tobias. 

Things that I have felt years prior were written on the page. 

"We can be mended. We mend each other."

What a way to end a love affair.

Current obsession: divergent

My girl, Keri Mae and I know how to do movies. 

Sweats, treats, popcorn, blanket and of course, our sodies. 

We went and saw Divergent and fell hard for Four. 

My only regret, not reading the book before I went. 

I started it the day after and have flown through the book. 

Like most books they transform into movies, the book is always better. 

I would be lying to say that I am not picturing this hunk every time they mention him in the book. 

Autumn has arrived

I have decided anyone that doesn't claim fall as their favorite season, hasn't experienced a gorgeous Utah autumn.

So many things that I love about this season. 

The wardrobe choices are unlimited: jackets, boots, scarfs, hoodies, t-shirts.

The weather allows you to be outside during the day but when you take a deep breath at night it gives a burning sensation in your nose. (one of my favorite things ever)

The Carmel Apple Ciders.

Utah games.

Haunted houses.

The list could go on forever. 

There really isn't anything about fall that I dislike, except for the fact that it does not last nearly long enough. 

I was lucky enough to spend this last weekend up at Tyler's cabin in Timber Lakes.

Gorgeous. 

I was there about a month again and the mountains were just starting to change colors. 

When I saw the mountain below in the morning I was shocked. 

I couldn't believe how much it changed from just a few weeks ago. 

My only wish for the day was to go over and be in the "burning leaves".

Tyler did not disappoint me. 

After I finished up some work, we headed to town to grab some lunch 

from the one and only, Dairy Keen.  

(If you don't know what that is... you need to google and go!)

There we actually found out that it was the local high schools Homecoming Parade. 

We watched it for a bit and then grabbed some food. 

The best surprise of the day was running into my dear friend, Kristen. 

I miss her dearly and was so happy to run into here. 

After lunch we ran a couple of errands and headed back to the cabin. 

We were getting closer to the cabin and I was just staring at the mountain. 

Tyler turned off to see if we could find a road to go over there. 

We didn't have much luck. 

But he wasn't done trying yet. 

We went back and got the 4-wheeler and went and explored. 

We would get so close to finding a way over to the "burning mountain" (that's what I kept referring to it as) 

But we couldn't quite get all the way over there. 

We drove around for quite a while. 

Ready to end our adventure;

Until we stumbled across this hidden little treasure.

And behind here was a grove of pink leaves.

I never in my life have seen anything like it. 

I immediately said, "I wanted to go lay down in there."

Luckily Tyler didn't look at me like I was crazy and laid right down with me.

 So incredibly beautiful.

It is moments like this that you really have to stop and appreciate. 

I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the things and people I have been blessed with in my life.

Especially people. 

Tyler being one of those people. 

I do not believe in accidents.

It was not by chance that we were brought into each other lives at this time. 

(If you are thinking... "Finally, Morgan has a boyfriend!" Don't get ahead of yourself.  I have the world's best friend)

Many times I feel like he is my right hand and always counting down until M&T time begins.

When Tyler is involved a good time is guaranteed.

I am thankful for the laughs, support, silence, honesty and love given to each other. 

Grateful for another wonderful person brought into my life 

and even more thankful that we can be 100% ourselves with each other. 

People like this come around far and few... and I have every intention is keeping him around for as long as I possibly can and thankfully he agrees. 

This afternoon is one that I will remember for a long, long time. 

Side note:

As I look back at old posts, the ones that mean the most are the ones that I actually document what I am thinking rather than just what I did... So excuse the sentimental thoughts at times. 

It is for me. 

I have stopped keeping a journal journal and basically use this.

My MODERN day crush

Who doesn't love Modern Family?  or I guess I should say who doesn't love Phil Dunphy?  

Because I sure do! 

I was completely star struck when I saw him walk through the door.

I was too chicken then to ask if I could get a picture with him.

BUT THEN he ended up coming outside when I was hanging out on the patio. 

Luckily when he came back to go inside there was nobody around and my friend was sweet enough to ask. 

He was SO SO nice and took a couple of pictures with us.

Love when my celebrity crushes are even nicer in person!

my newest obsession...

 It is official, I'm smitten.

Meet Ed Westwick

also known as, Chuck Bass. 

I'm slightly embarrassed to say I have started watching Gossip Girl. (I blame Netflix)

and even more embarrassed to say that it is my biggest guilty pleasure of late.

But my REAL guilty pleasure is watching this british hunk.

Not sure if it is his smoldering look?

his sexy voice?

bad boy appeal?

or his accent?

Regardless of the reason, he has my full attention when he is on the screen. 

even though we are quickly approaching the dreaded winter,

things are heating up with Ed Westwick around. 

Dear Netflix,

Though I can't thank you for introducing me to GG

and taking over 80+ hours of my life.

I am very appreciative of this newest beauty in my life. 

xoxo
