Just an update in general

I haven't posted in 2 years so I figured I'm due for an update. Lots have changed for me in 2 years...the first and most recent change is we have a house!!! We bought a house in August from our friends Coby and Brian. We now live in Kennedale and we love it. Shaheen loves it because his commute is 1 whole minute. He works at the highschool across the street. My commute is much longer...it's 30 minutes to my elementary in Alvarado. I used to LOVE buying clothes and shoes but now I LOVE buying things for our house. Shaheen surprised me today with a kitchen table. I was out shopping all day and I came home and just chilled. He asked me to get him a drink of water because he knew I would walk past the dining room. So I did walk past the dining room and noticed nothing...on my way back I screamed in excitement. He said, "What Shannon wants...Shannon gets." I guess I have trained him well...lol

Another new thing is Shaheen and I work in our youth department at church. He teaches 10-12th grade boys and I teach 9th and 10th grade girls. WE LOVE IT!!! Some of the students are our closest friends. Working with the youth makes our relationship with God grow stronger every day. The kids love the Lord and it's evident in their lives. We are very blessed to work with them. It's not a job to us...it's a joy.

Geez...I need to work out. I got all the way up to 10 miles last month and just stopped one day. I haven't started back up and it shows. I was training for the half marathon but my knees kept giving me a really hard time. No excuses...I'll get back on track soon...after the holidays.

I have two weeks off.....YAY!!!!!!
