Emily is 2
My how time goes by. It's been 2 years since God blessed me with my first child Emily Leilani. It was by no means an easy delivery. I ended up with preeclampsia at 37 weeks so by 38 weeks I was induced. Two in a half days later my beautiful little girl was born. She was 6lbs 2.5oz & 19.5 in long. I will always remember the joy I felt when the nurse put her on my chest for the first time.

Seven Years Ago Today...
I had believed that I was saved as a young child {because that is what I was told}, but around the age of 11 I started to doubt that. Whenever Pastor would ask during the invitation if anyone needed salvation I would raise my hand, but never enough for him to see. I kept telling myself that I was saved, but I didn't feel it. Well in 2001 I went to the Northwest Youth Conference. The meeting was going the same as it had the previous years that I had gone to until Dr. Johnny Pope preached Friday night. He preached a sermon about salvation, about how he could remember every detail of what his mother was wearing, where they were at, etc. During his testimony & sermon I felt tugging at my heart. I had finally realized that I was not saved. I became scared. I waited til the end of the service then I turned to my youth director & told him with tears starting to form in my eyes that I didn't believe I was saved. He jumped over the pew & led me to the Lord. I instantly felt a big weight lifted off my chest. I was so happy. I can remember every detail of that moment. I thank God everyday for my salvation. I just felt the need to share that today.
I also wanted to say thank you to my youth director & his wife for willingly being there, not only for me but for the other teens alongside me.

Just a short blog to let you know{although I'm pretty sure you already know :-)} that Noah Joseph has joined us finally. He was born Wed. Oct. 29th at 12:18 pm. He was 8lbs 15 oz {almost 3lbs more than Emily} & 20.7 inchs long. I will post more when I'm finally out of the hospital & relaxed a little more.

Potty Training
My little girl decided 2 weeks ago that it was time to start potty training. She came to me & stated proudly "Potty" then headed for the bathroom. To my surprise when I put her on the toilet she actually went! She has now gone at least once everyday since then. I will be more on top of it when I'm not so pregnant but it is a great start to only having one in diapers, Yay.
About Me...
My name is Shannon. I was born Dec. 3, 1984 in Napa, CA. I have 1 older sister Stacey & 1 younger brother Owen. I also have 4 step siblings...2 sisters; 1 younger & 1 older & 2 brothers; both older. I was in church by the time I was 2 days old. I am a Baptist Christian. I moved to Port Orchard the middle of Sept. 1995 when I was 10 years old. Since then we have attended Bible Baptist Church, then First Baptist & back to Bible Baptist where we have been since 1996. I went to East Port Orchard Elementery School for 5th & 6th grade, with the same teacher both years. I then went to Marcus Whitman followed by the one & only High School in Port Orchard, South Kitsap, where I graduated in June 2003. I accepted Christ into my heart Nov. 9, 2001 while in Portland, Oregon for the Northwest Youth Conference. I teach a 2 & 3 year olds class, Hot Tots, during Jr. Church every Sunday since 2000, I was the helper before that. I met my husband, Richard, in Sept 2004 at a golf course. It didn't take us long to realize we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. We were engaged Dec. 8, 2004. We were then married Aug. 25, 2005. We had no intention of starting a family immediately, however God had other plans for us. We were blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Emily Leilani on Nov. 22, 2006. I am now a stay at home mom raising my wonderful & extrememly smart little girl Emy. I love the joys of being a mommy & watching my little one learn new things everyday. Richard works for Pierce County. As of Feb. 24, 2008 we are expecting another little bundle of joy, but this time a boy. I am also a proud aunt to my sisters 17 month old son Austyn & another one on the way.
