Well this is definitely "NEW" for me.I have never been one to journal or write down my feelings although the many years spent in therapy have I have always been told you "NEED" to write down your thoughts/feelings and keep a journal.So here I am in all of my glory.I know kinda scary huh? I guess what has finally pushed me into at least trying to blog is the friends that I have met through Twitter and other blogs I have read.I am not good at writing but hey we will see how this goes.So I guess I will start this first blog with a little about me and my family.
Let me start by introducing myself my name is Shannon and I am a 35 yr old stay at home mom.I have been a mom since I was 17 so that is pretty much all I have known.I have 6 skin children ranging in ages from 20 yrs-16 yrs and 8 fur children ranging in ages from 14yrs -7 months old.My husband and I have been married 14 yrs. (wish I could say happily but hey this is life so happily would mean we aren't alive) but I can say we have been happily married and at times not so happily but we LOVE each other and that's the part that counts.During the past 18 years I have spent raising my kiddos,taking care of my home/family and falling deeply in love with dogs (Mini Dachshunds mainly but also Cocker Spaniels,Boxers and Shih-Tzus). For 12 of those yrs I raised and bred Mini Dachshunds it was during that time that I developed a deep love for dogs and animals in general and made the life changing decision that I want to go back to school to be a Vet Tech.After that I would like to attend Vet School and then one day my dream is to open a clinic for low income families and rescue organizations.I am a christian (Baptist) but do confess that as of lately I have gotten away from the Lord and my walk with him isn't what it should be.I am hoping with this blog I can use it as a tool to reflect and get back on track where I need to be.I am not sure where this journey will take me but I hope to learn allot along the way and become to child that my God wants me to be.
