Mrs. Shannon...


Tomorrow starts a whole new chapter in my life; I am starting a new job.  One that I’ve always been super interested in doing, but didn’t know how to go about making it come about.  I’ll be known as Mrs. Shannon and I’ll have some kindergartener’s looking up at me.  Tomorrow I start as a teacher’s assistant at The Goddard School, it’s going to be an amazing journey.  I’ll be blogging about my adventures into the world of Kindergarten and just how awesome it can be.  I’ve got high hopes, but also know there will be some lows along the way.  Being as crafty as I am, I can’t wait to share that with little souls that I know I’m going to get attached to.

GG’s Photo Shoot…



This past Friday evening, I had the time and pleasure to take my Girly Girl out and do a photo shoot.  She was a joy to shoot and I got a lot of awesome pictures of her…here are a few!

Dear Sister…Happy 28



Today is my baby sister’s birthday; she has grown into a smart woman with a huge heart. It makes me happy and proud to know that she has come a long way from being a little girl.  I’ve got so many near and dear memories that I’ve shared with her throughout the years.   I’ll give a few examples…

·         “I’ll strip for publicity…what is publicity?”

·         Getting her hair cut off at a strip mall when she turned 15

·         Me flipping on the JCPenny sidewalk

·         113 down 75N chasing a green convertible with hot guys in it

·         Her graduating from cooking school

·         Taking the exit ramp to pass a car

·         A jeep ride home…freezing with no doors or windows

·         Seeing Becky sliding into home on our cruise in a leopard dress

·         Laughing so hard that milk comes out of her nose

Those are just a few fun times that we’ve had together…there are lots more and I’m looking forward to many more to come.  Here’s to you Amy and I hope 28 treats you well.  Love ya!

Shark Week 2012


Tonight it has began, Shark week 2012.  I always look forward to watching it; this year makes the 25th year that it’s been on television.  It is truly amazing how there are people out there in the middle of the ocean capturing moments that the rest of us can only dream about.  The power that sharks have is incredible and how smart they are makes my brain run over time.  God’s creatures are something else, and I’m thankful that people are out there researching so that I can learn about them.
