| Ack! I can't wait! Jonathan and I had our engagement pictures taken about 2 1/2 weeks ago and we're now waiting on the photographer to post the photos online! I think I'm going crazy.
Our photographer is really amazing- well at least with everyone else's photos.
I'm looking for red evening gowns for my bridesmaids. Really red. And stunning. And... conservative? I think this is making me more crazy. Girls, what's the most you've ever paid for a bridesmaid's dress- and was it worth it?
And I need a wedding dress. *Deep Sigh.* I don't know what I'm looking for! Something pretty? Does anyone have something pretty?
I'm sleepy and I need to clean my room.
Bye!
Shannon

| Hello All!
Yes indeed, I am engaged to Jonathan Jessup. And we have a wedding date! March 7, 2008. I am exceedingly happy. 
Jonathan and I are driving up to South Haven, Michigan late tomorrow night for Thanksgiving. My first holiday with his family- yikes! I think the whole family is going to be there, and I know we're going to have a wonderful time.
I'm at work, which is probably why I can think of almost nothing to say except- I posted!
Talk to you soon,
Shannon

| Hello Everyone
I don't feel well. People keep telling me that I look tired. I had 8 hours of sleep!
It has been raining heavily for the past several days, especially in the mornings. This enormous flash of lightning struck near my house, and my dad stood on the front porch watching the seemingly torrential rains. I wanted to join him but didn't.
Thunderstorms are amazing things; sometimes they are just absolutely beautiful. But not today. I am exhausted. I want to lay in bed or on my couch all day with my husband. But I'm not married, and I have a job, so I'm sitting here posting over my lunch hour.
Death, where is thy victory? Grave, where is thy sting?
Have you ever watched someone worship God? Standing in awe, with their arms towards heaven, fully yielded and fully surrendered- even in the midst of unspeakable trouble and pain? I have. Sunday, after Sunday, after Sunday, after Sunday, for eleven years. In the same space of the same pew in the same church, faithful and true, supporting her husband and loving her Jesus with every ounce of her being. A pure and spotless vessel, willing to be sanctified, running the race set before with patience and endurance and joy in the Savior.
Debbie Wells has finished her race. She has run into the arms of Jesus, and now stands and worships before the Throne of Almighty God. She has received her crowns of glory and is casting them at His feet with all of her heart, worshipping. She sees Him face to face! She knows, even as she is known! She is part of the Great Cloud of Witnesses by which we are encompassed.
"Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." -Debbie's life verse
I love you all.
Love,
Shannon
