Life Comes At You Fast

Nationwide has an insurance commercial that says, "Life comes at you fast." I've often thought that Eric and I would make wonderful spokespersons for the company because that seems to be our theme. We don't half do life; we go at it full force.

Our story begins on Wednesday May 3, 2007. I went to the news studio at WKU to work on a couple of stories I was putting together for the following night's show, and when I got there I met a meteorologist working on his weather cast. We talked briefly, I told him my name, got my work done and headed for my daily run. When I got back to the dorm room later that night I told my roommate about our meeting. She said, "Wouldn't that be crazy if you just met your husband? I think you just met you husband, Morgan."

I not so politely told her she was crazy and dismissed the incident. Later that night, upon checking Facebook, I discovered Mr. Eric Watson had sent me a friend request. I accepted the invitation and went about my business not giving it another thought. The following Tuesday on May 8, 2007 I packed up my things and headed home for the summer. When I got to Lexington, I discovered my new friend had sent me a Facebook message inviting me for ice cream. Obviously, that was out of the question since I was home for the summer, so I gave him my phone number and told him to call me. The rest is history...here is our timeline:

June 3, 2007 - Eric called me and we talked all night.

August 18, 2007 - We went on our first date.

October 29, 2007 - I fell in love with Eric.

December 2007- We talked about marriage!

February 15, 2008- Eric proposed!!

October 4, 2008- We got married!!!

December 2008- We found out we were expecting.

August 10, 2009- We became parents!

Also during that time we both graduated from college, started our careers, and bought a house. The past year two years have been a whirlwind, but we have built a life together. In a way we've grown up together. Although "life has come at us fast," I wouldn't trade a single minute of it!

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone! I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal! Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three! Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work. Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later. Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week. Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt

Mother's Day Memories

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. I want to start by saying that my heart and prayers go out to the "Mommies in Waiting" and to those who are missing their Momma on this special day. You are not forgotten. We started Mother's Day at church with our crew, and we were lucky enough to be in the nursery. We let Eli tag along, and he helped facility "Derby Races" around the table while the kids were on riding toys. It was a hoot! We also made cards for the mommies. We had some leftovers at home for lunch and then I spent some time laying out while Eric worked on the pool. It was almost 90 degrees and the perfect way to relax on my special day! Eric made me a shrimp boil for dinner, and we took a family trip to Dairy Queen. They also have presents coming later this week for me. Basically, they are awesome!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have I ever told you that Eli loves sports? Ha! I look back at him with baseballs and basketballs at 18 months old ,and it blows my mind that he's still so interested. The thing is, he doesn't discriminate. Baseball, basketball, football, soccer...you name it, we play it! Not only do we play sports all day, we also have to watch certain videos on Youtube. We watch "Boys of Fall," while wearing a football helmet. We watch Alabama's "Cheap Seats," John Fogerty's"Centerfield," and Kenny Rogers, "The Greatest" while holding a bat, carrying a ball, and wearing a batting helmet. And now, thanks to Space Jam, we have to listen to the movie sound track while shooting hoops! That's a blast from the past! He hasn't found a song about soccer or golf...YET! And with all that playing, who has time to run inside for a potty break? Not this boy! I never thought
