A decade is an odd concept. It’s an arbitrary period of time people place on their lives to give it meaning and structure. 2010- The last time a new decade started. At the time I was living in Utah, and thought I was happy, even though I knew that’s not where I wanted to spend
It’s been a little over a week, but the fact I am now Dr. Lehman still doesn’t feel real. Everything happened in a whirlwind, and then a lull. I am still waiting for the final two approvals, but I am officially Dr. Morgan Laine Lehman. All the blood, sweat, and tears of the last 4
In the next few weeks, I will be changing my name. Not because I will be getting married, but because I will have earned the accolades to become Dr. Morgan Laine Lehman. I have worked hard in the past few years, especially months, to earn my degree and move on to the next stage of

I have been stuck in this awkward feeling for a few weeks, and I am not sure why….About three weeks ago, I had an epic meltdown about school (I feel like I have done pretty well. This is only the third one in 3.5 years), and I really felt like quitting. I am not a
I have always been a rule follower. ALWAYS. To a small extent, I am still a rule follower. I am just choosier about the rules I follow. Obviously, for school, work, and society some rules have to be followed. Plus, I am writing rules and regulations, so I will have to follow those rules, too.
Recently, Grady Smith asked Dierks’ fans to name their top 10 Dierks’ songs. As a true Dierks’ fan, I don’t know if I can choose just 10….that’s like asking me to choose my favorite memory with my Grandma. I will admit, unlike other fan club members, I do not love every song Dierks puts out.
I have a theory: when you go into something you know is going to be difficult, you can find the difficulty in it, or you can learn from it. I needed this motto as I traveled to Minnesota this past week. As I stated in my last blog, I knew that going to Minnesota was
