It was a crazy month last month. Changes are brewing once again for the Morgan family. We have started school back, Eric has started the Elder process at our church, Eric preached for the first time, he worked a lot of hours at work and I am about to start studying for the Praxis II test. All of that plus our normal list of chores, meetings, and church activities. (filming, creating, etc.) Life is pretty much been like the buckett ride at a carnival. You know one of those red things you sit in and you have a bar in front and it goes around and spins.

I say all of that not to complain, but I am just amazed that we survived it all. Things seem to be settling back in. I actually had to take a break from one of my acting classes because I just couldn’t do everything. Also, I haven’t seen my mom since a couple of Sunday’s ago. That is wierd. I hope to see her next week. My cell phone bill is a definte sign I haven’t been seeing anyone. I hate to see how much it will be this month. Eric switched to AT& T and the girls and I are on T-mobile until our contracts run out next year. So we have to up our minutes or just be more cautious about them.

I look forward to improv this weekend, it should be a blast. I will be in the show in Decatur at Java Jaay. football season probably starts this week and I am sure that will have an effect on our show. I hope not.

One thing I can say is that in the midst of all this craziness. I am glad that God is there with me and that he has given my family and I love, shelter, trust, friendships, and desire to serve Him.

We are embarking on doing better with our figures and our finances. It is a daily struggle to obtain this, but we will overcome. When we are weak, He is strong.

Wow, yesterday was surreal for me. My oldest daughter was baptized by my husband. It was an emotional moment for me. Even though I was behind the camera filming it. I was thrilled for her to make this decision to follow God in her life. I am so proud that she has decided to do this.  I know that yesterday was a day in her life that we all will remember forever.

That is the theme of my life right now. Sometimes, I just don’t add up to what I think I should. When I think I have it all together, I am hit with a curve ball and humbled beyond belief. I just don’t know sometimes what it all means. What direction to take. I am such a control freak, I feel scared when I don’t know what to expect, but we are commanded to walk by faith. I need faith and I need to trust God to know that all is well. It is just hard sometimes to take that step.

It was cool to see that I finally made it to IMDB on the recent film that I worked on. Check it out.

Well, I must post of my two newest encounter of Trevor friend meetings. I was speaking on the phone with a friend of mine. I was discussing  the difficulty since I have started improv of not trying to make jokes all of the time. He said oh do you do improv with Trevor. I was like oh no you didn’t say Trevor. I almost hung up on him. (not really).

I went a wedding tonight and guess who was friends with the groom and showed up? Yep Trevor B. Oh the madness. I am forced to make a t-shirt now that says one of the following:

I know someone who knows Trevor

Trevor  for President

Trevor knows everyone I do.

Trevor  the friendliest man in town.

Please comment and leave t-shirt ideas.

Trevor fan club.

Eric got me up at 8:00 this morning to let me know that he was going to install my stereo. Seeing that the girls and I stayed up past 1:00 finishing a puzzle, I accidentally fell back asleep until 8:45. By the time that I got up this is what I saw and experienced.

Eric is connecting with the coffee and the wire.

Eric said for me to go and look in my car

Now that was scary until I saw him do this

Now I can do this:

the glove box connection for the ipod.

The finished product

Today I turned 38. My birthday celebration started by watching ace of cakes last night until 1:01.The time I was born. Heidi made me a necklace.

Then it was off to bed. I woke up with a little of a rocky start today. The morning plans I had got a wrench through in them. It left me feeling really sad. I even cried a little. I normally don’t let things bother me and let things roll off of my back, but I pretty much had expected one thing and got another. Sometimes the pain is just to much to allow it to roll off. Once I got a grip and decided that I wasn’t going to let anything or people get me down, I moved on. My mother treated me, my kids mysister and her twins for lunch at Chucky E. cheese in Decatur. My mom and dad gave me money for my birthday. We had a great time there. Played lots of games ate lots of pizza and then I headed back to Madison to let my oldest get ready to go to one of her friends birthday’s. I dropped her off and then it was back home to wait for Eric to get home. He came home and we waited for my present to get here. It came.

It is getting installed tomorrow. I will do pic by pic on the installation the best I can.

We then went to Kenny Mango’s and had a tea and cake/tiramisu.

Then we picked up our oldest and headed to Ruby Tuesday’s to eat dinner.

We had many laughs. The waiter even brought me a piece of cake to go for my birthday. That was nice.

We headed home and we are probably going to watch a movie of some sort before bed. I look forward to tomorrow for a new stereo installation and the fam and friends coming to improv.

I should have been posting this for awhile. I have to give the back story to the title of this post.

I have a friend named Trevor Britton. I have known Trevor as an acquaintance for along time, but just over the past couple of years, we have become Friends.  About a year ago, I was discussing with a group of about 8 friends about our improv troupe.  Someone stated oh, my friend Trevor does improv. Someone else comes out with Trevor Britton. I know him. Before I knew it, I was being told stories of Trevor. I passed it of as being funny that everyone knew Trevor. We all got laughs out of that and that was that, or so I thought. Since that day, I have been in that situation at least 10 times. I can be at a random place and talk about improv and someone will bring up Trevor and then follow with telling me how they know him. The most recent stories are as follows.

Here I was at a ladies retreat. I performed a couple of skits there, and we were discussing acting and I mentioned improv and yes another woman there said oh I know Trevor. He does improv with that same group.

Just this morning. I am in church. Church mind you and my pastor comes up to me and we are talking he tells me that he and another guy were talking yesterday and that he had went to an improv show to see one of his firends (aka Trevor Britton) my pastor said oh Wendy Morgan does improv. Of course he didn’t know who that was.

Tonight, I am at Panera, I go to throw away my trash. A girl that is working there says to me. Aren’t you in the improv troup tha performs locally. I said yeah. She tells me that she had came to the anniversary show we had recently. And then the bomb shell. She says, another guys was just in here a little while ago. She says, he is the guy with brown curly hair. I was like Trevor. She says yeah that is him.

I am sure more stories of this will follow because everyone knows Trevor.

I have decided to go back to counting points today. It is the only thing that has ever worked for me. I guess I will be counting points until the day I die. I have gained about 25 pounds over the last 2 years. I am very frustrated about the recent weight gain. It is getting to the point now that my clothes don’t fit me right. I am going to have to go out and buy more.  I hate shopping and wont do that. I went to Goody’s the other night to try on clothes to motivate myself. It worked boy o boy did  it work. So I have to eat right and walk at least 20 min. a day. Once I loose the weight. I will probably start lifting weights again. My goal is 12 pounds by the time I go to the beach. That is July 26. That is 2 pounds a week. I think the hardest part is going to be not going out to eat. Oh well. I will survive.
