Dear Friends & Family,
Six months ago this week we made the move to Omaha. The only thing I know for sure is that it has been one heck of a transition. I know people are shocked when they hear that I sincerely miss Cheyenne. I think I had a different experience than most who travel through there. I met some pretty incredible people and made lifelong friendships that I will cherish forever. Now I'm not saying that definitely won't happen in Omaha. I have met a few people that would fit into that category, but in general the move has been different. Different in a good or bad way is still questionable. It has been a learning experience and I am looking forward to seeing what the future has in store for me. I'm also looking forward to warmer weather and exploring more...at least I can finally get around without always using the GPS. I try to appreciate little things like that. In the meantime, I am trying to keep a positive attitude and hope for the best. I also have several trips planned over the next 5 months, so that is a nice distraction.
Wedding preparation is well under way. I made a trip to San Antonio last weekend and am finalizing a lot of things. So far the planning has been relatively easy, I can't deny that I have had one or two "bridezilla" moments, but I'm sure everyone does. I'm thankful for an understanding support system. Burdette and I are getting pretty excited and are looking forward to married life. Did I mention that we are going to the Dominican Republic for our honeymoon? I'm definitely excited about that! It'll be a nice way for us to unwind after all the wedtivities.
That is the most current update. Burdette is still enjoying his job and staying active in his sports. I am spending a lot of time with wedding stuff and trying to add new craft projects, thanks to the addictive Pinterest. As always, thanks for stopping in.
Love,
Shannon

We miss you and love you. Glad you are keeping busy. Can't wait for May!
I always look forward to your posts. Welcome to military life. I know you were a military brat, but being a wife is different. I know what you mean about moving to a new area. We hated Alabama when we got here. Just couldn't wait for four years to move again. Something happened along the way and now this is home. Not saying I would have chosen some where different, but this is where the Lord wanted us. We all adjust because of our husband' career. I made dear friends along with the different moves and how fun it is to say we have friends around the world.
I'm excited about your wedding and know it will be beautiful. Just keep the happy thoughts. One day you will wake up and say it can't be 56 years ago. LOL
Love you much.
