What's Getting Me Through

It's been a stressful week or so... here are the things that are getting me through...

GLEE.
The story line and examples they are teaching to the zillions of children that watch this show have gone haywire, but I love the one-liners and the music. I have a whole youtube playlist of my favorite songs

Current Top Five  Favorite songs in no particular order:

P.Y.T.

Thriller/Heads Will Roll

Marry You

Start Me Up/Living on a Prayer

Defying Gravity
 (I almost prefer this version to the broadway, it to me is as equally as impowering as when I heard/saw Shoshana sing it on stage and belt it out, but the softer, more steady build glee puts on the song stirs something in me I can hardly explain. love it)

My dogs.

They (mostly Artie!) can be such pains in my butt sometimes, but the unconditional love they show me surpasses any amount of chocolate whenever i get super stressed about everything.

Agness from Despicable Me



I LOVED this movie. And little Agness makes me die laughing everytime I even think about her! Crazy I know. But just thinking about "IT'S SO FLUFFY" Cracks me up and puts a smile on my face.


Being an Aunt

Seriously? How cute and are they? Just seeing pictures of them makes me so incredibly happy.

They are so fun. Need I say more?



Debbie Chase

For those of you who don't know Debbie, she is the lady I do flowers with. Calling her a lady sounds weird though, like she's so much older than me or we're not that close, cause she's like the older sister I never had (no offense Emilee & Shannon!) We're very much alike, with a few differences that keep each other balanced and sane in the late hours of floral designing.

Any who, I was having a really rough night and she was there for me. It's been kinda hard being married and not having a girlfriend to talk to that is also married. It was so good and so NEEDED for me to vent and get everything off my chest and be re-assured that I'm doing the best that I can and that is good enough. She is awesome. I don't know what I'd do without her. 

She is a wonderful friend, person and role model. Can't say enough good things about my GLAMOROUS friend Debbie!

And of Course

Ryan.

He is so good to me. I do most of the moving and organizing and work for the move, he's always encouraging and gives me back massages when I'm sore.

What a love.

Can't get enough of him.  Even having to be MIA for most of the details, he's still been a big help. LOVE YA BABE!

She's so dang cute

Slap in the face

so. I thought I had been doing well at my new job. I was being told I've been doing well at my new job.

Apparently not.

today was my last day. I was told to take tomorrow off and I am supposedly going to get a call tomorrow after they all talk about me and vote and decide if they want to keep me. My "inside source" a friend, received an email already, saying that there will be a new person there on monday.

ouch.

that sucks.

we had already put in our 30 day notice where we live in preparation to move to Tigard, hopefully, we will be able to retract it.

whoope i'm back among the un employed.

Something that has never happened before...

I love my job.

I recently got hired at TZ Medical, a medical product manufacturing company.

I was initially hired through the temp agency to work for a week and half while their receptionist went on a cruise, but on my second day of training, they offered me a permanent position.

The CEO retired and everyone moved up so there was a new international/marketing position available for Jessica (the current receptionist) and then I will take her place.

I am super excited about it.

I love the company, the new CEO is the previous CEO's son-in-law and the VP is his brother in law/previous CEO's son, a sister and a wife or two and some cousins of the family also work there, and I know family businesses can be risky, but it's great! They all work so well together and it's such a better atmosphere then my previous job, which makes total sense, it was a body shop, I was the only female for the last 4 months I was there.

I feel so much more comfortable and light working here, my direct supervisor, says I'm doing a great job. so that's always good to hear.

Jessica and I get along really well, we have similar senses of humor, and she's super smart, always using big words and stuff. She's really fun.

I've never had a job I loved before... but I have a really good feeling about this place and I'm SUPER excited about it.

The only downside is that the office is located all the way over in Tigard, which gives me a 45 min commute each way, so because of that, at the end of February (President's Day to be exact) we will be moving to Tigard/King City area to some nice apartments (newer then ours, which is a definite plus) and it's only about 15 minutes away from work. AND there's a washer and dryer in the apartment!!! YAY!  HAPPY DANCE!! There was no way with Ryan's new work shift (1:30pm-10:30pm Friday-Tuesday) I was going to be lugging loads of laundry across dark parking lots  or driving all the way out to our parents once a week, or (the most likely circumstance) wear the same pair of jeans for 2 and a half weeks.

That is what has been going on with me, and I'm loving it. OH and I kinda got bit by the crafting bug, I have been dreaming and swooning over craft websites for the past 6 months, but I finally started a project, post and pictures to come soon. :)

Love you all, have a great week!

Is there something wrong with me...

... that I got genuinely a little sad to find out Scarlett Johansen & Ryan Reyonlds got divorced?

They were so cute together!

I'm a total nerd, but this "headliner" on yahoo caught my eye.

Celebrity Break Ups of 2010

I also felt really bad for Sandra Bullock. I really like her! She deserves so much better.


Believe it or not, I do have a life.

Nerd.


I know.

lately

I had jury duty

I got a kidney infection

I got laid off

All in the same week and a half!

*whew*

I've been busy.



Anyways... how are you?

Days 4, 5 & 6? I've lost count

Day 5-Definition of love.


In the year and a bit that I've been married, my definition of love (in one word!) is:

Selflessness

Day 6-My day

It's going alright. It's currently 85* yeah I know, It's SEPTEMBER and it's 85* in OREGON!!!.

Craziness. 

Ryan has class tonight from 6-10 (bleh!) But that means time alone with my puppies and time to take a bubble bath, watch dancing with the stars whilst I already know the results and I'm just as critical as Bruno. (which in my opinion, yeah he was kinda harsh to Mr. Bolton, but that's his job, he's nowhere compared to as mean as Simon Cowell)

I'm planning on vacuuming, cleaning the spare room, and working on baby bowles' present that I need to finish up before the wedding next weekend (!)

Day 7-My best friend

My best friend is Ryan, but outside of marriage, my best friend is Caitlin Leigh. She was my "yellow" bridesmaid for those of you who don't know.

She's intelligent, theatrical, adventurous, creative, trustworthy, knowledgeable, dependable, hilarious, helpful, supportive, and keeps me in line.

I love her.  She's awesome. 

I was talking to Ryan the other day about how he doesn't have any (close) friends. At least ones that he doesn't hang out with. and I said to him, "Honey, I know you have friends, you should hang out with them, like I do with Caitlin, you need a Caitlin, heck, everyone needs a Caitlin"

So true.

We're taking guitar class together and it's a blast, I don't know why we didn't discover community education classes sooner. It is so much fun to have the "girl time" once a week and at the same time be learning something fun we can share together.

Everyone needs a Caitlin who you can talk to about anything and know she'll be 

there to listen and someone to go on adventures with. 

Who's Your Caitlin?

   

Day 3 & 4

Day 3


My parents.


My parents are Jim and Denny Bowles.


They were married 30 years ago in the Manti Temple.


First off, I am a daddy's girl through & through. My dad is a nurse anthesitist. He has worked at Kaiser for about 21 years. He is quite the handy man around the house. Loves BYU football. ( I think the word love is kind of an understatement, nothing rings more true to say that he bleeds blue) He likes fully cooked chocolate chip cookies, action movies and was once a big star trek watcher. My dad is kinda of a goober sometimes. He loves making people laugh and prefers to see the good in people. His "dream dog" is a border collie. When Jedi (the first family dog) was alive, after he would give her a bath he would play "torro torro" which was like bull fighting with her with a towel to make drying her off more like a game and a lot more entertaining. As far as I know he's only ticklish on his feet. He reads alot of books. He has been known to dress up in a grass skirt and coconut bra and sing a parody of aloha oy. He loves to swing and ballroom dance.He likes Kozy Shack pudding and hot tamales when they are in a bag, not a box, they stay fresher that way. He would give me and my brothers father's blessings at the begining of every school year. He enjoys playing card games with the family. He is my dad. I love him very much.


My mom's favorite color is purple. She is a kindergarten teacher. She takes a nap almost every day after school. She gets excited when reading "duck! rabbit!" or any of the pigeon books. She loves going to the sock hop at school and getting to wear her saddle shoes and polka dot skirt. She makes excellent chocolate chip cookies, sheet cake, easy bake chocolate cake, cheesy chicken, and apple pie. She tends to go for more of a romantic comedy genre of movies. She loves to sew but wishes she had more time to do so, espeically quilts.. She misses her two grandsons terribly and is always so impressed with how smart they are, she also loves her first granddaughter Ivy and how much fun she is, and I know she is SO excited for her second granddaughter to be coming in December. She gets car sick if she doesn't sit in the front. She likes to play cards and swing dance. She misses her teaching partner Donna Brown who recently retired. Dianne "me" Morgan is her best friend. She prefers seats/couches/chairs that when she sits in them her feet can touch the ground, but she's kinda short, so furniture like that is hard to come by. She likes french dip sandwhiches, and stealing cookie dough out of the mixer. She is my mom. I love her very much.


Day 4-What I ate Today


Eggo waffles.

Day 2, First Love

My first love was when I was 14. It was my freshman year and it was the first boy that really respected me and liked me and thought I was amazing. I had had “boyfriends” before him, so it wasn’t like he was the first guy to ever say I was pretty, but he definitely had a significant impact on the beginning and future of high school. 

I had more confidence in my self. 

In middle school, I was very disliked and horribly teased by all the boys, except the creepers, and they don’t count. So my first love really got me into the relationship world in a good way. Him and I are still friends today. 

I know every relationship is a learning experience, learning more about your self and how to deal with others in a highly emotional situation. I dated a lot in high school and college. With every relationship I had, serious or casual, they showed me the qualities I wanted and needed in a future spouse, so although my first love wasn’t one of those romantic stories that we were high school sweethearts, got married and rode off into the sunset, he helped me start out on the right journey to find my true love. My one and only, my wonderfully patient, dorky, cuddly and loving husband, Ryan.
