Need I say anymore? lol I've been in a lot of pain. And most definitely look like a chipmunk. :/ As I'm writing this, my sweet Momma is making me some homemade chicken noodle soup. I'm so thankful for her and my Fiance who has been taking good care of me these last few days. It's been a little rough. I can't hardly laugh or smile without it hurting. Can only open my mouth so far....but, I'm hanging in there.<br />
<br />Just wanted to give a big shout out to my Fiance and my Momma for everything you've done for me these last couple of days. Also thank you to everyone who has called, texted, and sent messages to see how I've been doing. You're all awesome!! :)Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14298906706650128624noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101255707446985234.post-13842862734950959842012-08-27T10:08:00.000-05:002012-08-27T10:08:17.116-05:00Save the Date!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We just recently got our "Save the Date" pictures done! I'm so thankful for a Dad that's a professional photographer! Thanks Dad for taking these on the spare of the moment. :) I LOVE them!</div>

It's Kansas City Tradition! I love how diverse Kansas City is. We have so many different cultures represented. There was somewhere between 50-60 nationalities represented, which includes artifacts from that country, food, drinks, hats, folk dancing...you name it, it was there. :)<br />
<br />
This is the entrance for the Ethnic Festival. Love all the different flags!<br />

I am sooo glad that they got to come down. Absolutely loved getting some girl time in with them! It had been almost 2 years since we had seen each other! Way too long if you ask me! But we had a wonderful time! Nessi is so full of personality...I just love that little girl! We didn't get many pictures, but here are a few after church before she left town.<br />

I've dreamed of that moment my entire life. What girl doesn't?! :) Growing up, my Dad was (and still is) a professional photographer and we photographed weddings almost every weekend of every year. Growing up going to so many weddings, I always dreamed of how my wedding would be. And now...I actually get to plan my own!!! It's been a full week of planning, trying to set the date, planning the Bridal party, colors, getting the church reserved, searching for unique ideas, and I keep staring at my beautiful ring asking myself if its just a dream. But, I'm glad to say that its reality! :)<br />
<br />
I get to marry the man that has become my best friend, who knows how to communicate. Who is so sincere, sensitive, caring, and tender hearted man who most importantly loves God and puts Him first! I'm so glad that God allowed our paths to cross. He's seen me at my best...and he's seen me at my worse. The times where I didn't feel so pretty yet he told me I was the most beautiful girl. And yet, he still loves me. I'm a blessed girl. No matter what anyone else might think. :)<br />
<br />
Now, I better get off of here, my sweet friend Kristy is coming in this afternoon for a short visit. I'll take what I can get! I love having girl time! :) There is also some wedding planning to do! :)<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend!Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14298906706650128624noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101255707446985234.post-42395604666205480092012-08-14T13:24:00.002-05:002012-08-14T13:29:20.578-05:00The Proposal!!!!Saturday, August 11, 2012 will be a day that I will never forget!!<br />
<div>

<div>
One of my best friends, Dorenda, was in town for the weekend and we met up with my cousin, Paulette, for some girl time! We wanted to show her downtown Kansas City before she left the next day. So after Dwight got off of work we were going to meet him and Jeff (Paulette's husband) at Union Station for coffee. As soon as us girls got to Union Station the coffee shop closed! I love this coffee shop and was kind of bummed that they just closed! So after a few minutes, we decided to go to Liberty Memorial to show Dorenda the view. It's one of my MOST favorite spots in Kansas City!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So we get up to the lookout at Liberty Memorial, we are all doing our own thing...walking around, talking, taking pictures. Dwight and I were standing there talking and he says, "I have a question to ask you..." Still looking at the skyline not realizing what is going on, I said, "What?" I look over and he was down on one knee...and said, "Will you Marry Me?!" I said, "YESS!"</div>

<br />
Well, once again I haven't been very good at keeping up the blog. I seriously need to become better at this. Soo soo much has happened since I last posted in April! I'll do my best to catch you up!<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>In May, my Honey came up to see me! We had a fabulous time! We had a date to the Chris Botti concert at the Midland Theatre! It was FABULOUS!!! </li>
<li>Over Memorial Day weekend, I drove to Indiana and SURPRISED my niece with a trip to New York City!!!!!!!! She was so SHOCKED!! I'll do my best to post a "few" pictures of our time together! My sister, cousin, and her daughter also met us there and we had a blast!</li>
<li>Over that time period, I drove several thousand miles, and was in almost 15 states in 2 weeks! Talk about being tired!!!</li>
<li>At the first part of June, I traveled to Tennessee to see one of my best friends, Jen. She is like a sister to me. And of course, I got lots of Auntie K time in with Bradyn too! I had a blast just having some girl time. There is nothing like it!</li>
<li>From Tennessee, I traveled down to Mississippi to see my Honey!
Of course it was wonderful. Loved getting to spend a lot of time with him, meeting more of his family and friends. Loved getting to spend time with his best friend and his wife. They are like brothers. I've quickly learned how amazing Bradley and Paige are! I'm so glad to have met them and become such good friends with them. </li>
<li>My Honey is moving to Kansas City!!! Yay!!!!! I am so excited that he will be close to me!! So in the meantime, we have been fixing up my grandma/grandpas home since that is where he will be living. :) They've been gone for several years and my parents now own their house. It's such a cute little house that sits on 2.5-3 acres right in the city! It has so much potential and it'll be really cute once we get it fixed up! :)</li>
<li>July 1st...one of my besties moved home from living in Honduras for 2 years! Yay!!! If you've been following my blog for any length of time, you will most likely remember all the stories and pictures of my time in Honduras a little over a year ago. Anyone remember the hermit crab story on our private island?! HAHA!! :) Sweet memories! But I am so glad she is back HOME now!</li>
<li>July 10th, my Honey moved to Kansas City! I was (and still am) such a happy girl! I went to bed with a smile on my face knowing that I would get to see him every single day! This week we had been talking for one year!</li>
<li>Towards the end of July, we went to the Shaw Family Reunion. It was such a blast!! I'm so thankful I got to spend some time with all of my family!</li>
<li>One of my best friends, Dorenda came to visit me last week, along with her adorable daughter!! We hadn't seen each other for almost 2 years and it was wonderful to get some girl time in with her!!</li>
<li>Now that brings us to this past weekend! But it deserves a different post! :) Teehee.....stay tuned!!!</li>
</ul>

I simply adore this picture! :) Seriously can't wait for the next 2 1/2 weeks to pass by! I miss him! He is the most genuine, sweet, and real guy I've ever met! I could go on and on about all the things I like about him, but I shall save that for another time. :) I love how we accidentally matched on our way to church that night! :) *sigh* He makes me smile! :)Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14298906706650128624noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101255707446985234.post-190189521034620692012-04-21T23:15:00.002-05:002012-04-22T00:13:11.010-05:00Off to Ole Miss land!This past weekend was amazing!!! I drove down to Mississippi to see my handsome boyfriend! :) *aww* I seriously had the best time and loved getting to spend time with *him*! It's hard when your 11 hours away!<br />
<br />
I was so honored to meet some of Dwight's best friends, Paige and Bradley. They are fabulous people whom I had an instant connection with. I felt like they were family. They were so kind to let me stay in their home! (I *stole* this picture from her facebook page since I failed to get one of them myself.) I left feeling like I had gained a sister in Paige. Love them!<br />

<br />
When I arrived, I was able to meet them and Dwight's Mom, Janet! She's so sweet! Excited to get to know her more! She had bought me flowers and had a goodie bag full of food for me for my drive back! Along with some goodies that Dwight bought for me! The flowers were gorgeous!!<br />

Now that was a challenge...but it was fun. :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir5djmd8X83JHOml7skDOW4iMFfZUhjUfHcViwIHxBRvMT_NoThhQGKouHfAHfPA2vuVBMkH-CXfWlzDx9ZY0hq1XODiMlnhO0qmh8KCniIZ3CCzaWjV2bXQp_SU2Q2j09ejAqUobvm_o/s1600/iPhone+Pictures+140.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir5djmd8X83JHOml7skDOW4iMFfZUhjUfHcViwIHxBRvMT_NoThhQGKouHfAHfPA2vuVBMkH-CXfWlzDx9ZY0hq1XODiMlnhO0qmh8KCniIZ3CCzaWjV2bXQp_SU2Q2j09ejAqUobvm_o/s400/iPhone+Pictures+140.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5726136101803829794" /></a>Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14298906706650128624noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8101255707446985234.post-30607946314467915062012-03-11T15:40:00.003-05:002012-03-11T15:44:53.668-05:00Community Health FairOur church, <a href="http://www.tlckcmo.com">The Life Church</a>, had our 1st Annual Community Health Fair yesterday!!

I came across this letter today....I'll keep it forever. It makes me cry every time I read it. This past January marks 4 years that she passed away. I miss her so much. <div><br /></div><div>January 13, 2008</div><div><br /></div><div>Dear Sister Shaw,</div><div><br /></div><div>I knew you as an acquaintance...until yesterday.</div><div>I knew you as a fellow laborer...until yesterday.</div><div>I knew you as our daughter-in-law's "Big Mom"...until yesterday.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yesterday, I learned to know you as a saint of God who has fought the fight and gone on to claim her reward.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yesterday, I learned to know you as a loving wife who put her husband's needs above everyone else's...except the Lord Jesus Christ.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yesterday, I learned to know you as a mother and grandmother who successfully passed on a heritage that is rich beyond anything this world has to offer.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yesterday, I learned to know you as a lover of people...a lover of souls...who prayed diligently for those she loved.</div><div><br /></div><div>Yesterday, I learned to know you as a servant of God who is now blessed to hear those words we all long to hear some day..."Well Done Thou Good and Faithful Servant!"</div><div><br /></div><div>Era Belle Shaw (I mean no disrespect by using your name instead of the more respectful, Sister), I am writing this to you with no knowledge of your awareness. I like to believe that after we leave this life, God allows us to see some of the impact our lives have made on others.</div><div><br /></div><div>Era Belle Shaw, I am writing this to you because you are changing my life.</div><div><br /></div><div>Era Belle Shaw, I am writing this to you because you will never be forgotten.</div><div><br /></div><div>Era Belle Shaw, I am writing this to you because you have motivated me to make some fresh commitments in my life to the Lord Jesus Christ.</div><div><br /></div><div>Jesus, I commit to loving souls more than I love myself.</div><div>Jesus, I commit to loving my soul mate more than ever and letting him know he comes first.</div><div>Jesus, I commit to making more memories with my children and grandchildren.</div><div>Jesus, I commit to loving the ministry more...and letting them know that I do.</div><div>Jesus, I commit to praying more diligently for those I love.</div><div>Jesus, I commit to rearranging my priorities so my time is yours to use.</div><div>Jesus, I commit to learn how to smile unceasingly.</div><div>Jesus, I commit to living a life that will live on after my life is over.</div><div><br /></div><div>Era Belle Shaw, this is written as yet another testimony to a life well lived...that will continue to live on in those of us you have touched...even after your life on earth has ended.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thank You, Era Belle Shaw.</div><div><br /></div><div>Kathie H.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I read this letter with tears in my eyes. I miss this godly lady so much. Someone who put others before herself. Who loved people and someone who LIT UP when you walked in the room. Who loved giving you hugs and making sure you had everything you needed and more when you were in their home. Someone who always gave God the glory. She's been in Heaven now for 4 years. I only hope that I can be half the person she was, one day. I love you, Big Mom!</div>Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14298906706650128624noreply@blogger.com0
