A letter from Dec 19, 2024

Dear Shannon, It’s Dec 19. You’re starting ic and about to head to k&r and then go home for Christmas. Everything seems daunting rn. I’m scared and tired but I’m also told I just won’t know anything or be good for another 3/6 months. So I’m counting on that. I’m afraid I will never get detail oriented and I’m about to be THIRTY????. Now let me tell you what I hope for. I want to love and rely on Jesus more and more. I want to own a home with Andrew. I want to see him succeed. I want to move my body and reduce the weight in my knees. I want to start taking some workout classes so I feel good in the gym again. Maddie just got engaged so I need to help her plan a wedding! I want to wake up feeling excited and energized and cut my dopamine addiction down. I want to take more steps into my career so that it feels more long term, does that make sense? Thanks for living through all the things I’m scared of right now. I think you’re probably pretty brave and that you like to trust God and take it day by day. I’m actually really proud of you. I’m not just saying it either I’m amazed and you got through it and I’m willing to bet you made friends and people like you and think you do a good job. I love you, can’t wait to meet up!!
