Activity for Shannon

We are dealing with one car at the moment. I took Adam to work at 4:30 and it was already 75 and humid! I am trying to get stuff done in the house this morning before the sun comes up, because it is going to be way too hot and humid soon. Anyone else...

Some background, FH and I have done things a bit non-traditionally (if you read any of my posts...SURPRISE). I will try to keep this short, but it's really a long ordeal. FH and I dated off and on in high school. We were very close when we were...

I love finding cool old stuff and giving it a facelift. Currently, I am working on a solid wood coffee table that my neighbor gave us. I am working on getting all of the old stain off right now...but I have big plans for this thing. Anyone else like...

Our friends live on a large property that is very secluded and on the river. They are allowing us to hold our ceremony and reception there. I am aware that a lot of people think that "utilizing" (for lack of a better word) friends for things like...

We interrupt Shannon and Adam wedding planning to bring you Shannon's new classroom planning. LOL I've been teaching for a lot of years and one of my FAVORITE things is setting up a classroom for a new school year. I have a new classroom in a new...

After interviewing for multiple jobs in multiple districts, I was offered a job in a public school today! Meet Warrior Run School District's new Middle School Emotional Support Teacher!

I have a teaching interview at 9:10 this morning. It's for a district that knows me well. I have one of their students in my classroom. I have been looking to get into a public school for over a year. Many interviews, no job. I have a Masters degree...

I've mentioned before that I teach in a private school for kids with severe behavioral challenges. I have high school Autistic Support/Emotional Support. One of my boys is moving after this week and the district he is moving into wants to try him in...

I teach in a school for kids with severe behavioral issues. We are currently in our first session of summer school. I was sent home on Wednesday because my director and the nurse suspected I had pink eye. I stayed home yesterday because in the...

Adam and I plan to write our own vows. Although our wedding is over a year away, I am compiling ideas because I am a bit of a perfectionist when I write and this is so important. Does anyone have any tips? How did you get started? Anything you wish...

I feel like the first dance as husband and wife is so special...especially because, at least in our relationship, we don't have occasion to dance often. We're throwing around a few ideas...we have a while to plan...but we're enjoying talking about...

There seem to be a LOT of us getting married on 10/14/17. I thought it would be nice to have a thread to chat and get to know each other! I'm Shannon. My fiancé is Adam. We're planning an outdoor wedding and bonfire reception.

The unity sand/candle thread got me thinking...those ceremonies are relatively common. (No judgement. We're doing sand too.) What other elements or traditions are you including that makes your ceremony uniquely you (you meaning you and your love)? We...

Hello! I found this board after being on a different popular wedding site (which shall remain nameless) full of snarky people who think all weddings need to cost tens of thousands of dollars, rings need to cost 3 months salary, a ton of women who...
