A Mid Summer Update ...


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
