an amazing woman

this post is to and for my mom; an amazing wife, best mother, & most kind friend.

yesterday was one of my longer days at school. i get done around 3ish and go straight to work for 3 or 4 hours. i got a phone call about 2 hours into work from my mom asking me if it was a "long day" for me. i replied that i had work and institute later that night. her voice sounded off, something was just not quite right. i asked her what she needed and she was trying to find a way for someone to pick up my little brother from basketball practice. i told her i would do it and got the feeling to ask her if she had been crying. she replied with a quiet "yes" and proceeded to break down and cry. my mom was sicker than a dog. she did not feel good at all. her body was aching from head to toe and there was {NO ONE} at my house to take care of her. luckily, i was let off work early to go be with my mom. i got her dinner, made sure she was all covered up in a 2 blankets, a heat pack, plus every layer of clothes she had on. it hurt my heart to see my momma like that.

my mom is the strongest and most loving person i know. she would bend over backwards for anyone even if she was getting the raw end of the deal. she doesn't expect payment. she doesn't even ask for a lot of help around the house even having a 40+ hour week (in 4 days...). she is the BEST example to me. i love her. she has all of the qualities of a wife and mother that i wish i could have. one day i hope i can be just like her because EVERYONE loves to be around my mom. she is wonderful!!

momma, thanks for all of your hard work. for not only working all day yesterday feeling as sick as a dog, but for waking up before 6 AM today and going to work again for the second sick day in a row. taking time out of my day to love you and be around you was easy, but seeing you so miserable was the hard part. i love you. you're the best mom and best friend i could ever ask for. thank you for all that you do!

love,

your favorite morgan

called to serve.

this good looking boy got the letter of a lifetime today! after much anticipation, excitement, and anxiety attacks (on my end of course!) Bryant finally got his mission call! this man is so amazing (it's so weird to call him a man yet he has officially become a man). how blessed i am to have the most loving, caring, genuine, and most amazing best friend to walk the planet! we have been through thick and thin together and i wouldn't have it any other way. i love him.

elder king has been called to serve in the ARGENTINA CORDOBA mission! he will report june 15th.

i know what you are thinking..june 15th? that's like 8 years away...i know. sucky. BUT, i cannot help but think that the Lord's timing is perfect. he knows how big of a breakdown i might be having hahaha. he waited to call bry at a time where i would be out of school but most importantly, i leave to peru 4 days after he reports. FOUR days.

bry wanted my dad to be there when he opened his call, which can get quite tricky. we had been waiting all week long for this call to show up and every day seemed to let us down. my dad is a UPS driver and he has pretty much the worst job schedule ever. he never seems to make it home until after 8:30 pm on a good night. bry got his mail today at 1:30 and was such a champ for waiting for everyone to come and watch him open it. the Lord blessed my dad today. he had the lightest day he's had all year long. he was able to make it home at 7 pm. a true miracle.

the Lord blesses us in such little ways. at times they seem so insignificant, but when reflecting back on it, they are the things that matter most. Argentina-get ready! elder king is coming your way!!

my day of birth.

i am 20. officially. well actually, UNofficially. i technically wasn't born til 11:35 PM. but, forget that--i am sure glad we celebrate all day long!! and truly, if you are part of the Clement fam, (aka my mother's child) you celebrate pretty much ALL week! i love my mother.

now, i could go on and on about my 20 years of life, but i don't want to brag about my senile age.. ;) what i am really thinking about right now is my best friend Elder Nathan Larson. a few days ago i got a letter from him with a birthday card inside but he required that i couldn't open it until my birthday soooo what did i do at 12:00 am? i opened my card OF COURSE! (buckle down for the long read ahead! so sorry--just so emotional)

i am SO blessed to have this boy as my best friend. i miss him so much yet i know he is serving the Lord and for that not only is he blessing himself and his family and the people of Korea, but i feel blessed as well. i can't help but be emotional after reading his card and knowing how great of a friend he has been to me through the years. we've had our shares of fights and arguments, but when it comes down to it all i remember are the laughs, memories, and tears (both from laughing together or crying from pain). He has always been there for me. i love you nate dogg. i can honestly say your card has been the best present of my 20th birthday. you bring so much happiness into my life and all those around you. you mean so much to me-i don't know what i would have done without you. this i know for sure: WITHOUT YOU...i would have been WAY MORE confused about college. Would not have gotten an A in chemistry. Not understood a whole lot more in Calculus. Would have heard a whole lot more "world war III's" in my house. Would have cried a whole lot more tears alone. And would have been incomplete.

BUT..good news! you came into my life and saved the day! (more like the past 4 years!) you helped me through college when i didn't get it (and didn't laugh at me when your incredible brain couldn't understand how i didn't get it). you tutored my sister and saved a lot of heartache for my mother. you let me cry on you when no one else was here. you became part of my family. i love you and i always will love you for being my best friend! thank you nate dogg for being the best example to me i could ever ask for!

Jacobbbb :)

I love this kid! Jake Young is leaving on his mission next week and as excited as I am for him, I am going to miss him times A BILLION! Seriously..Jake is just one of those kids that when you are having a bad day or extremely bored he knows just what to say to make you laugh and feel better! We went and did baptisms for the dead together and I could not only feel the spirit but his spirit too! What a great experience that was! He gave an awesome farewell talk-I never knew that would make me respect him that much more! He knows how to make people feel great about themselves. He loves everyone. He is non judgmental. He is cute. Annnnndddd. I love him.. like a husband (some say they love each other like brothers and sisters but Jake always tries to make me laugh by telling me he loves me like a wife)! I love you Jakey Poo and I know you will be great in all that you do!!!
