Hello friends and
family!
So, I thought it has
been a while since I have updated our blog. I know you have all been waiting
with bated breath to hear what we have been up to lol! So, for the few of you
that may care, here are the highlights for us over the past few months …
· We started Shannon’s
green card process … the ball is rolling!!! This has included … obtaining a
lawyer (the best option ever), gathering the most massive amount of paperwork
that I have ever had to compile, waiting game to get the letter stating that Shannon’s
paperwork was accepted, fingerprinting and now we wait to have an interview for
the 2 of us … to make sure we are a real couple! J
· As of September, I
will be a fulltime Pre-K teacher at FXW!!!
· I am taking the
summer to rest, get in shape and prep for next year … I can’t even put into
words how excited I am to have my own classroom and my co-teacher is amazing!
· Tilly is doing so
well … she is such a big girl and has been such an amazing addition to our
family! We often comment that we don’t know what we did before she came into
our lives!
· I am going to Vermont
to see my parents (Tilly will be coming too) and Shannon and I will rendezvous
in NYC for a romantic/much needed long weekend! His work load has been crazy
with an upcoming application. He is my hero with the things he does … I am in
awe!
· Fingers crossed and
barring no complications i.e. no work conflicts, we are planning a trip to
Australia in the spring to visit family and friends, since it has already been
2 ½ years since we were last there … time flies!
· Shannon and I have
had such crazy schedules, we are hoping that life slows down a bit this Fall
but we know us and there is always a new adventure around each and every corner
we turn, we always have something up our sleeves lol!!! There are quieter
moments but never a truly dull moment for The Crawford Clan!!
That is about it
here. I can’t believe the summer is half over but it has held a lot of small
gems that I will cherish, like running around in the rain last night with the
love of my life and our puppy, when the city was nearly as quiet as it could
be. I fall a little more in love with my husband each day and I am so very
thankful for that and for him, every day. It was 3 years ago this month that he
told me he loved me on the streets of London after knowing each other for such
a short time, but when you know, you know.
I am just so lucky to have Shannon in my life, just a thought to end this
update. We hope you are all well and we love and miss you all!
Best Always,
Katie & The Crawford Clan
