Hello all.
First, let's get acquainted.
My name is Morgan. I am (soon to be) 23 years old. I live in Burlington, North Carolina with my husband Dave. We will have been married for 1 year in June, which also, not surprisingly, will make it one year that I've lived in NC.
Sometimes I kind of feel like I lead a double life. Not intentionally, but there is sort of a dual-identity involved. My Clark Kent life: I'm an assistant medical editor at the Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI) in Durham. My Superman life: Trailhead Church. Let me explain.
Dave and I are super involved in our church. And when I say "super involved" I don't mean in the "hey, let's actually go to more than one service a week and maybe volunteer every once in a while" kind of way. Dave is the administrative pastor, meaning he handles all the administrative tasks (finances and other organizational stuff). He's also the media guy. Oh, and the whole reason he moved to North Carolina in the first place more than 2 years ago was to help our friend start the church from scratch. After we got married and I moved here, I jumped in right along with him. It's a lot of fun, but it certainly keeps us busy.
I guess I've been a little nostalgic lately. My birthday is coming up next week, and my wedding anniversary is only two months away, so it has me thinking about this whirlwind of a year. 12 months ago, I was weeks away from graduating from Marshall University with my print journalism degree. I was only 2 months away from my wedding and my subsequent move from West Virginia to North Carolina (talk about packin' it in!). So, to summarize, I graduated college, got married, and moved to another state within about a month.
People constantly ask newlyweds the big question: "How's married life?" My answer? FANTASTIC! I love it, I really do, but there's been a heck of a lot to get use to. One of the biggest is being away from my family and friends.
That's why I started this blog. Hopefully it'll be a great way to keep in touch with everyone. Stay tuned, everyone. I promise to make it entertaining!
