Yes, I'm alive!

So it's only been a "few" months since I last posted. Pretty much a TON has happened since March 6. I, Shanny, am engaged to the most awesome-est guy I could ask for and am getting sealed to him for time and all eternity on Oct. 14. Life can change so fast and unexpectedly. I feel so blessed right now! Life is great. I have a job at a junior high that I really enjoy being at and wedding plans are a blast despite the stress that comes along. I have decided that I LOVE summer. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Being a teacher definitely has it's perks :) I love to garden, camp, organize, and just do summer stuff! I'm afraid there is no way I could get all of these lesson plans and wedding plans done if I was working right now. Pretty sure that school is going to get here super quick and then the wedding just as fast! (hopefully!) . Anyway, there is my update for the day! Hope everyone is doing fabulously whether or not you still read this!

Sooo it's March!

Hello blog readers! It is now March and I realize I have not entered a blog for 2 flippin' months! I am sure you have all missed me dearly. ;)
Well, life is good. I'm over halfway done with student teaching and I very much love that fact. I like to remind myself often! Student teaching has been one of the most trying experiences of my life but I have learned sooooo much about my profession and myself. I am lucky I work with such great teachers! Some of those kids test you like you wouldn't believe and I have learned the true meaning of patience and classroom management! I will get through it, though! Only a month and a half left! But who's counting, right?
As for the other aspects of life, things are good. We had a dear family member pass away about a month and a half ago which royally sucked-- he was an awesome man! Funerals are a hard thing I decided. Whether you expect them or not. They just suck brick. But thank goodness for the knowledge we have of life after this! Such a blessing!
The dating world. . . well, let's just say I've entered it again. And it's good :) Muhahaha.

A Mighty Change

This year marks the year of "A Mighty Change" for Shannon. There has been a lot I have been pondering on and realize that this year will be full of changes. I will begin student teaching soon- becoming a real teacher and that frightens the goose-eggs out of me. Then I will GRADUATE college. I will then be applying for jobs to be an even more real teacher which is just plain nuts. I will be creating/bettering some personal habits that I know will enhance my life and my happiness-- both in spiritual aspects and physical aspects. I am super excited for these changes to happen and am ready to become the Shannon I know is in there somewhere! I know what I want and well heck, I am going for it and no one is going to stop me! Boom baby!
