I'm Back!

2011-06-08T18:45:00.000-07:00

Well since the last time I wrote I have become a god mother to my new nephew Kannon, I'm only working one job now!, and still not healthy.

It has been kinda nice only working one job and being able to make new friends and have time to do things outside of work. Shawn is enjoying working for Spec. and likes that he is back in the field that he loves. I kinda feel like I have had time to find me in the mess that life was before. I was totally sinking and not enjoying life!

Health wise Shawn is doing well. I on the other hand not so much. I get up everyday and put a smile on and fake it hoping that one day I'll feel better. I pray daily that one day we will figure this out so I can be a mother and be the person I was put here to be. I will always stay strong and keep my head held high.

GREAT news in my family three of my brothers are having babies!!! Makes up for the lack of one in my life! Richard is due in oct/nov. and Michael and Timmy are both due in Jan. Thanks boys for adding to the family!

I spent the day at my mothers with my nephew Cire and had a blast. The kid is hilarious. We made brownies and he ate a few. I asked if he had brownies at home and he said no because he is Mexican and they don't make them. He also started using a gel that is kinda like sunin. He said it makes his black hair stylish. Crazy 7 year old. He used to live with me I miss him!!!

Other then that nothing has really been going on! Ill try to be better at posting but I'm not promising anything!

sorry for the break!

2010-09-28T21:59:00.000-07:00

Well I have been working two jobs so I don't have time for anything. I get up at 4am and most days my head hits the pillow at about 11pm! I feel most days that I'm losing track of people time places... losing track of me, becoming a horrible wife, friend, sister in zion everything.

Today everything came to a head when i walked in and did not even get a Hi. My role as a person right now is worker, dish person, laundry doer, complainer, bad at everything. The only thing I can seem to get right is work! The sad thing is its not my dream job... either one. What I want to do in life seems like a light year away. I can't seem to take care of my self enough to get better health wise. If I can't get healthy I will never become the person I want to be. I want my family to be proud of me, I want to be proud of me.

I know even if Shawn does not voice that he is thankful for what I am doing that he is. Personally for me though I am not doing enough. I hate coming home and not having a clean house, and being so tired I cant find strength to fix it. I pray daily for the strength to beable to become a better homemaker on top of working really long days. For strength to do things on my nights off, instead of relaxing and trying to feel better.

What keeps me going is the knowledge that there are people that are worse off then me fighting just as hard; physically, mentally and emotionally to keep their heads above the water as am I.

As weak as I feel now I know that one day this trial will be what made me strong.

Sorry for being a downer this is just how it is right now.

On a happy note I am going to be an auntie again to a baby boy(from Allison and Cory) Kannon Tripp is going to be his name!!!!!

THE END

Live Oak Canyon Rd. and Twilight!!!

2010-03-06T14:47:00.000-08:00

So on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have been going to school at night. I get out of class at about 9:30pm and get home about an hour later. I take this road name Live Oak Canyon Rd. Here is a picture

Every time I drive this road at night I think about Twilight and where they are running from Victoria and her group. I think about Edward and how he practically flies out of the trees and lands on her truck. This started about a month ago.

I'm kinda glad it reminds me of that because before I was always waiting for some crazy person to be standing in the middle of the road! Or scared that I may find a body or something like that. Crazy what imaginations do!

Buddy the elf whats your favorite color?

2010-01-18T13:56:00.000-08:00

So this is Buddy!

Shawn has been home since the middle of October. He decided he need a dog (without me)

So Shawn went down to the Orange Shelter to look at an other dog that he had seen on the internet. Turned out that that dog had already been adopted. So Shawn decided to walk around and look at all the other dogs. There were a ton of chihuahuas there and then there was a puppy with no name. Shawn feel in love. I got a text saying he found the dog he wanted. One thing was it was not up for adoption yet and he would have to go back and be first in line to get to see him the next day.

8 am the next day Shawn was at the shelter and took a number and was the first person to see the puppy. Shawn then texted me saying he was going to adopt the dog. I was totally ok with it only because he always said hed never get an animal and this had to be a really special puppy if Shawn was ready to take him home.

So now we have a puppy and we named him Buddy. We have had him a week and he has been so good! We are excited and cant wait to see him grow!

The Office

2009-12-28T22:48:00.000-08:00

So I'm home all this week! Shawn and I have some big plans for the house this week. Today we painted the office and Shawn built himself a desk. The office was an awful light purple color that had to go. Here are some pictures Shawn took with his phone.

This is in the first stages! Shows a bit of the purple.

Shawn's desk. Simple!

Shawn mounted the router and the cable box under his desk.

This is Shawn's little work station. It has the phone mounted to the wall and both his lap tops!

Shawn also put shelves in his bedroom closet. I have the walk in and he has the small one;)

Shawn has also been working outside.

The little stream in our back yard!

The rest of the week we are planning on painting the outside of the house and Shawn has a job interview on wed!!!!!!

Thats it for now. We are doing well and loving the new house.

Its been awhile!

2009-11-14T15:37:00.001-08:00

So Its been a really long time since my last post! Shawn notified me, so if he noticed then it really is true. Well we went on our once a year week long trip in early Sept. We talked the Fishers into going on a cruise with us!!! It was to Alaska and we had a blast. Here are some pictures.

Christie and I on a train ride in Skagway, Alaska

There was a random toilet on our way back to the ship!

This is in the Tracy Arm Fjord!

Christie and I being dorks

Shawn and his best fried the bear:)

Shawn and I in Juneau, Alaska

Sarah Palins house is the green roof one!

Formal night!

Other then this Shawn and I have been married a little over a year! We are doing ok. We both had a few health issues and are working to get those fixed. Shawn is doing better then I am at changing to get better. We are enjoying our new home and will post pictures as soon as we take some. Other then that we are just taking it day by day.

We bought a house!

2009-07-22T16:02:00.000-07:00

Shawn and I are now living in Trabuco Canyon. It is so peaceful out here, when i get home from work it's like I'm on vacation! Our home is a 2 bedroom one bath that we plan to add onto in the next 5years. Its so nice to finally have a home of our own. When we are done getting it all Barryish I will post pictures. I have been super busy. Nothing besides the house has really happened in our lives. Hope everyone is well!

venting!

2009-04-06T09:40:00.000-07:00

So I decided this morning while I was in the shower to write about things that bug me today!
Its Monday so of course it started off a tired me.

1. When I'm in the shower or if anyone is DO NOT flush the toilet. Seems like common sense right? Nope not here.
2. Most people don't know but since about second grade I have had migraine headaches. Well if any of you have ever had one they do not get any better the next time you get one! So just because they are there almost everyday does not mean I am used to them. I hate it when people say yeah but you always have a headache.... does not mean it hurts me less then if you had it!
3. I can't stand that parents are not teaching there children common simple manners. I have kids at school that sneeze all over the place and fart and anything that you can think of that is gross and makes normal people want to vomit, they do.Because I have had my Thyroid removed which controls part of the immune system I tend to catch everything that is going around the Elementry school. So it is important that theses kids learn manners and start washing their hands and things like that which you would think their parents would have taught them years ago!!!
4. One last thing that really bugs me right now is people complaining that no one is helping them out yet they never ask for the help. I'm not a mind reader and neither is Shawn we can't do anything if you don't ask for the help!

O.k. guys that's all for the venting for today and I really hope that next time my post can be happy and upbeat! Hope everyone in the Blogger world is doing well.

Service Men and Woman

2009-03-20T08:57:00.000-07:00

So I was just watching the newest episode of the Real World. There is a boy on the show named Ryan. He is a decorated solider. He served his time in the Army. He got called back to go fight again in the war. He did his active duty and was on his four years inactive. I cried during this show!

Most of you know that my brother Richard is a United States Marine. I can remember the day he left for boot camp. I had just graduated high school and had just gotten back from a trip with the Langton's to the river. My mom called and we were still unpacking the car. She told me that my brother was leaving that day and that I'd better get home so I could see him. I sat down and all I could do is cry. It was after 9/11/01 and I knew that he would be fighting in that war sooner then later. I did not want to see him go.

His first tour was so hard for me. I was able to talk to him a few times and write emails all the time. He went through a ton on that tour but it was good to know that he was with his good friend Steve and that they could watch over each other. Steve is like another brother to me. He got through his first tour and mom and I were there to greet him and Steve when they got home. It was such a great feeling to be able to see him and give him a hug. Richard never did tell me about what happened over there. I think he wanted to not scare me in case he had to go back

He was home for about 7 months and he got called to serve again this time I think it was even harder. He now had a girlfriend! I was not the one he called when he could call someone, I was not the one that he wrote to daily. I had no idea if he was ok or not most of the time. It was so scary. I had to her through her how he was it was crazy.

When he was getting home I made shirts and we made a sign. I was so nervous. I made sure that I was the first one to see him and give him a hug. His girl friend was not too happy with this but I'm the sister and I get what I want.

Now he is about to get out of active duty at the end of April. He had a chance to go on another tour and he turned it down so he can start new and be a civilian again. You know what I was actually going to try to get him to go! now I'm thinking I was crazy but he will be out soon and be safe. But even then there is inactive duty that they can call him back when ever they want. They own him. Just like Ryan.

My brother Richard Stephen Walters is a Iraq War Vet. He is a hero a true hero. I look up to all those that serve to keep me safe and when ever I see a service man or woman I make sure to thank them for there work in keeping me safe. I hope that you all will also do so.

Twilight

2009-03-02T10:03:00.000-08:00

So thanks to Christie Fisher I got hooked. I was really against reading the books because the one thing that really freaks me out is vampires. Well these books were really good and romantic. I read all four in just about a week! Im kinda sad that there are only four of them. If anyone knows of any really good books let me know. I love reading.

NANA

2009-01-17T16:58:00.000-08:00

This past week has been a tough one to say the least. My dear sweet Nana passed away at 5:20 am on Tuesday January 13, 2009.
My Nana was such a strong woman who was a good example. She was a strong member of the church and a loving caring woman.
Here are a few memories I would like to share with everyone.

Nana was always kind. She would help everyone and anyone. Whenever my mom needed help Nana was the first to help her. When I had questions about the church she was a phone call away. My uncle shared his last time spent with her and it shows just how giving she really was. He went to go visit her on sat. in the hospital and could hear her yelling and when he got to her she said get me out of here. He got the nurse and they made her comfy and after a while he took her on a ride toward the end of a ride in her wheelchair they stopped in the movie room of the hospital. Ryan saw a woman the was crying and went over to her, she wanted to be takin back to her room so he did so. When he got back Nana asked him who she was and what was wrong. Ryan told Nana her name was virgina and that he did not know why she was sad. So Nana insisted he take her to Virginia's room and there Nana befriended this woman. Nana even in her last day was christ like and was doing for others. She always thought of others before her self.

My last memory with my Nana was at my sealing to Shawn. What a great last memory to have. She is the only woman in my family that was worthy to enter the temple and be with me on the most special day. She sat to my right and held my hand before I went to the alter and knelt with Shawn. She has been a great example to me and how I am supposed to live my life as a woman of christ, a daughter of God. She never once questioned the Church or ever questioned her faith. She is where i must get it from. I hope that I can live to be like my Nana.

Another thing that I look up to Nana on is her faithful love to my grandfather. He past about 30 years ago and she was always in love with him. She never remarried and always loved him. Im so glad I have found Shawn and that I to can have that. Thanks goodness for people like her!

Christmas

2008-12-27T13:37:00.000-08:00

So we had a great christmas. Shawn had to work Christmas eve so I went to my families yearly dinner thing and came home before they started eating. Shawn and I both thought that his aunt had dinner that night also so we were going to go there. But it was not so we went to the store and had lunchables for dinner! I much rather would have stayed at my families and had yummy food but it worked out great. Christmas morning we got up and packed, we are moving this week and decided it was a good time to do it. Shawn gave me my gifts and I gave him his and then we headed to his aunts! My sister was also having a Christmas dinner so my brother picked me up from shawns aunts. Shawn stayed with his aunt and cousins and I went to hang out with Cire and my family. I made my way back to shawn and we had a good night.

The day after Christmas we went out to dinner with Scotty and Christie and had Olive Garden!!! We had some interesting conversations. Glow in the Dark things and all that good stuff. Shawn and Scotty are random and a bit weird. But we love them! We then went to thier house and played the Wii for a bit and now we are finishing moving. Ill post pictures when we are all moved! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and have a great new years.

HOLY COW!!!

I've been tagged!
I was tagged by Palmyra Thompson! I'm supposed to write 6 random things about myself.

1. I am the worst speller in the world. In school growing up I could do every thing without having to study or even try except spelling. I was never taught how to sound words out so it was super tough. The dictionary is my best friend.

2. My goal in life is to be a judge. I want to be a LASD then a lawyer and in the end a judge. I want to be a crime solver and a good role model for my community.

3. I like to make up words and try to make people believe they are real. I like to mix words together and make them the new cool words. Yeah I know kinda weird.

4. I have always wanted my future child(ren) to have Irish names. Shawn and I both have strong Irish names and I think it would be totally cool. Id put them up but someone may steal them because they are so awesome.

5. The only time I remember my dreams is when someone in them died. The scary thing is when someone dies in my dreams they usually die in real life soon after. Kinda creepy.

6. I am so scared to cut my hair. I have this strange attachment to it or something. It has gotten long and I still can not bare to cut it. Thank goodness my hair is healthy and strong!

Giving Thanks

2008-11-19T13:56:00.000-08:00

So Shawn and I are talking in church this Sunday! We are to speak on gratitude for the Savior and his sacrifice and on the restoration of the church. This has made me think of the things that I'm thankful for.

I'm thankful for Shawn. His understanding, love, humor, and just him as a whole.

I'm thankful for my crazy brothers and sisters that are disfunctional, but we will always be there for eachother.

My Parents. My mother that is a great person. She is so strong and can get through anything.
My daddy who gave all us kids a love for sports and outdoors.

I am very thankful for my nephew. He has held our family together. He is so smart and extremly funny. The kid is awesome and will grow up to be a great man. Because he is so darn cute I'll put up a few pictures of him.

I'm thankful for the church and everything it brings into my life.

I'm thankful for my country and for those that serve to keep us safe. Thanks buddy.

I'm thankful for life!

Wedding Pictures Finally!

2008-10-25T17:38:00.001-07:00

We got our pictures back here are some of my fav.

For Time and All Eternity!

2008-08-12T20:48:00.000-07:00

Shawn and I were sealed in the Los Angeles Temple on the 8th of Aug. 2008!!!! It was such an amazing day. I went and got my hair done and while I was sitting in the chair I get a call from Shawn. His car was acting up so he took it to the shop and he was going to get a rental car!!! Yes on the day of our sealing! I went to get my makeup done by Char and she was a half hour late but my makeup turned out great. There was traffic but my great husband took a couple different freeways to get us there on time.
The sealing was beautiful. Our sealer was a funny old man, he fit us well. I was so excited that my Nana got to sit next to me and my uncle was able to be a witness.
Pictures were so long! I will post some as soon as we get them back.

Other then that married life is going well. I see Shawn less then I did before. Starting next week we are both going to be full time students and work full time. The way Shawn has his schedule he is going to be gone Mon-Thurs from 7am to 9pm, and Friday from 7-10:30.... so sad. the only late night im going to have is Tuesday I do not get of class until 9:50 pm. so Shawn and I are going to have a hectic first few months of marriage.

We are truly blessed to have had such a great wedding and the reception was so great. If you werent there you missed out!!!!

We love each other so much and are looking forward to eternity.

1 month left

2008-07-07T22:21:00.000-07:00

Boy does time fly by. I feel like it is going super fast, that scares me and makes me so happy. Scared because I want to make sure I have everything ready and happy because I get to be sealed to Shawn for time and all eternity. Something I have been waiting for for almost 3 years. Shawn and I have had a great 3 years and cant wait for many many more. We are having so much fun and cant wait for the party to come. I hope everyone else is as lucky as we are someday!

Supprise # 4

2008-07-06T00:14:00.000-07:00

So I have been surprising Shawn each week with something. This week I thought it would be cute to write him a letter through blog! kinda weird yes but it is something I would never do normally. I'm not very good at expressing my feelings in public. You know you see those couples that are all lovey dovie... not me! except for when We are alone or with family where I feel completely comfortable! so here it goes!

Shawn,
This weeks theme is trust and confidence. (and whatever else i come up with)! Tonight I learned how much I truly trust you and love you. I know that no matter how crabby I may be you are going to be there to lighten the mood and make my day that much better. You tonight have shown me that just because I think one thing I'm not always right! yeah that's right i said it... :P I have complete confidence in us and have always. You and me we are like mustard and katchup. We are a pair and will work well where ever we are. I'm going to add forgivness to the theme. I am so thankfull that you love me so much even though I am not perfect and that I am still working to be the best me. I am so thankful that even though your not perfect I can get past imperfections. Thank you for striving to be temple worthy and for guiding me down the same path. We are making the most important step at this point in life and I am so thankfull that with out a doubt I know its right!!!! I know I tell you I love you a lot but know that everytime I say I love you I mean it, and always will. Im so thankfull I know you feel the same. Im so greatful that you are furthering your education and trying to be even better than you already are, so thankful you are trying to make a great life for us! Shawn your an amayzing man and I'm truly blessed to have you in my life! Shawn I love you and cant wait to be your wife. 32 more days!!!
Shannon :)

It's Been To Long!!!!

2008-06-30T19:56:00.000-07:00

So Shawn and I are a month and 8 days away!!!

We are just getting all the palns ready and sending out invitations this week. I never thought about how stressful everything was going to be.

Shawn keeps coming up with ideas like not seeing me for 30 days before the wedding. He thinks it will make it that much more exciting... NOT SO MUCH! Another grand idea he has is to not kiss me for that long either. He is so cute.... but i knocked both of thoes ideas away and hes gotta see and kiss me! YaY for me.

Not much else is going on right now. Just trying to figure out what classes to take next semister and all that good stuff. Shawn has also decided to go back to school. So we will both be working full time and going to school full time.

Whats new???

2008-06-04T19:53:00.000-07:00

So there has been so much going on and not enough time to write! Shawn and I are looking at houses, so exciting. I can't wait to have our own place that we can call our own. I can't wait to paint and decorate! But most of all I'm so excited to go through the temple. My friend Dani just went through yesterday and is getting married sat!!!

So on another note I have been reading the book, "P.S. I Love You." It is such a good book. It is about 500 pages and I have been reading for about 3 days and I am almost done! I can't wait to see the movie, I heard it is better then the book. Christie has dibbs on it next... but after that if anyone wants to borrow it let me know!.

So planning the wedding is comming along. Shawn has been so good. I told him it is as much his day as it is mine and that he could have whatever he wants. So he is picking the food and the entertainment and that leaves me to do decorations which is a piece of cake. He is so amazing! I cant wait to have him around all the time and to help me do everything.

3 Months Left

2008-05-12T19:10:00.000-07:00

So Shawn and I have a little under 3 months left til we are married. We are having a good time planning and thinking of fun ways to make our wedding reflect US! I told Shawn he can have anything he wants and he is totally coming up with great things. I love that he is involoved and having fun planning with me, takes some presure off me. I cant wait to be Mrs. Barry. Time is flying by so fast and today is another day closer. I LOVE LoVe Love Shawn

2008-05-08T10:00:00.001-07:00

Here are some of the pictures we had taken for our invitations!!!

cute

Goofy Shawn

As everyone can tell we had a blast! Shawn kept us all laughing the whole time. As always loved making his faces, even in the pictures. They would not have depicted the real us if he hadn't.

I'm Home I'm home

2008-05-05T00:33:00.000-07:00

So I got home wed. They had to keep me an extra day due to my lungs collapsing and the meds they gave me made me really sick. Throwing up and having a cut open throat do not mix very well. My lungs are getting stronger everyday. I have also decided that pain meds are not for me. While I was in the hospital the nurse came in every hour to give me my shot of dilated (spelling?) its a strong pain med. I did not like the feeling of being druged to the point i was not awake most of the day. Dont get me wrong i was in a ton of pain but there are other ways to over come that.

On a better note:
Shawn being the man he is visited me every single day.
Friday: After Shawn left from visiting me my mom said she was going to the store. I decided that I should go with her and practice walking and being around people. Bad idea. I was stared at and one lady even said "I cant believe she did that to herself." I hate that I live in a world of judgemental people. I was walking slower then normal and one lady cut arond and then cut infront of me and stopped. I was feeling really weak and very uncomfortable. So we finished geting the stuff I needed for the week and went home.

Saturday:
Shawn and I went to my aunts house and we went over house stuff. We left and went back to Shawns and I rested for a few hours being startled awake and having a coughing attack. But it got better. Shawn,Scotty, Christie and I went to dinner at a new italian place by my house for dinner. Our hostest decided to put us at a table in the middle of other tables. It was a bit uncomfortable, I thought people were going to run into me or something. The food not great, I love olive garden way better. But it was a good night and I was glad to be out and feeling better.

Sunday:
My goal today was to bare my testimony so that I could try to walk up the stairs to the mic. I didnt fall!!! We stayed all three hours and even for break the fast. I'm in a lot of pain but with prayer and faith that the Lord will bring me many great blessings for attending church even in the pain I'm in I had to stay. I'm so thankful to be here and thankful for everyone that is helping me recover!

The day of surgery

So on the day of surgery Mom, Marian and I drove to the hospital. We got there early, i hate being late! My surgery was scheduled for 12 and I had to be there at 9:30. I felt like I had to sit around forever. Finally after having to pee in a cup... pregency test.... hahahah told them it was not necessary! They finally took me to the "pre-op" room where the drug man comes in and puts my IV in and he did an amazing job. I have hard veins to find and usually they have to dig. This man was so good. Then the surgon comes in and talked to me and made sure I know what I was there for.

I then called Shawn knowing that my time was coming very soon. I told him that I loved him and that I'd love to see him as soon as I was done. All that while I was crying. As soon as I hung up they took me. Mom was crying and it was crazy. I remember being wheeled down the cold white halls passing OR-3 OR-7 OR-13 and then they put me in OR-18. There were two men in there joking and laughing as I was coming in and a nurse opening the surgical pacs. Then it was lights out for me, I dont remember a thing after that.

I dont even remember wakingup in recovery or anything. I dont remember the surgon asking me to talk to make sure he had not cut my vocal cords. The only thing I remember is waking up in my room and seeing mom and marian walk in. Right behind them was SHAWN!!! Just how I wanted it. The only thing I remember from the rest of that day was shawn sat by my bed side holding my hand for hours.

ENGAGED

2008-02-16T15:28:00.000-08:00

So Shawn and I are engaged as of Feb. 9th at about 9:30 am. It was so cute. We went to the balloon in Irvine(Great Park O.C.). We were 400 ft in the air and I noticed that his shoe was untied. Usually I would tie it for him but I was busy taking pictures and told him to tie it himself. Later I came to find out that he untied his shoe on purpose! It gave him an excuse to get on his knees. I was busy taking pictures, Shawn was done tying his shoe and said"Baby" and I turned to him and said what do you want. He said "Will you marry me" I totally thought he was kidding and when he pulled the box out of his pocket I thought that it was going to have something silly in it. But he opened it and there was my beautiful ring. Of course I said yes and we are getting married on the 8th of Aug in the LA temple. We are then having our recption on the 9th of Aug in the Stake Center

Thinking.

I was just thinking about life and where I am headed.
Well at this time next year I want to be married or at least engauged. I want to have a house and possibly a new job. I want to have had my surgery and have barly a scar. I want to love life to its fullest and just be happy.
In ten years I hope to have my schooling done and have a job in the field I want. I possibly want to have child(ren). I would like to be strong in the church like I am now and just plain loving life.

The rest I just dont know. Heavenly father has a plan for all of us and I hope I am living the way he wishes me to do so.
