Google... What a wonderful invention

Well, I googled my maiden name while I was on the comp at work today and the third link down was MY pleonast account, which I had completely forgotten was in existence.
Sooo, I guess it is time for me to catch this thing up...
I have now been VERY happily married for going on 6 months... (We ended up eloping on Halloween.. :) ) We haven't even had "our first fight" yet, and I still feel like I am walking on clouds with him :)
We have a dog (Shih Tzu) named Boston (like the Red Sox, my hubby is a huuuuuuuge fan) and a kitten named Tiki. We love our little family very much. Annnddd I have a new job as a Nanny which I love and adore!!
Since the last time I was on two very major and exciting things have happened... Hannah has gotten married :) and one of my best friends, Tiffany, has gotten baptized.... OOhhh how time flies...

And amidst all this wonderful news, we have had some difficult times too... I have been battling health issues what seems like my whole life and just recently I was diagnosed with Myalgic Encephalomyelopathy (ME) also known as Chronic Epstein-Barr Virus (CBEV) or CFIDS. It is an emerging illness characterized by debilitating fatigue (experienced as exhaustion and extremely poor stamina), neurological problems, and a variety of flu-like symptoms. Severity in patients can vary from mild to being totally bedridden and completely disabled. It is a very tough thing, but we are very hopeful, that now we know exactly what is causing all these problems, we can start working on treatments. But I am so much luckier than so many people who have to deal with disease and constant illness because I have the most wonderful husband in the entire world and a congregation that loves me and supports me and would do virtually anything for me, and for that, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world :)

Well, I guess that is all I have to say right now, but I DO hope I can get back in touch with some of the wonderful people on this site... (Todd Buck, that means YOUUUU... Don't be a STRANGER... We miss you SO much at Melrose!!! Please come visit :) ))

Anyways everyone have a wonderful day and remember... Walk strong!!! We can do ALL things through CHRIST who STRENGTHENS us!!!

Katie Shutt--- wow, my NAME has even changed since I was last on here.. hehe

JANUARY 14, 2006

That's the wedding date... I don't know if I changed it on here or not. We had to switch it from Nov. because his fam' couldn't make it down here until the beginning of '06... Anyways, just wanted to correct that...
  • hannahbanana

    Nay Sayers? Nay, a nay-sayer I am not. My parents met and were married in six weeks. I will, however, strongly suggest (as I would for anyone and everyone) that you should seek pre-marital counseling before the big event. I plan on it and I think everyone should.

    ...Oh, and Congratulations!

    by csusoftballgirl at 09/06/05 9:40AM
  • katieladytx
    Yes, I am serious, Yes we are doing pre-marital counseling, and the date has changed from Nov. 5 2005 to Jan. 14 2006 because his fam' couldnt take enough time off until then... But everything is going GREAT and I am so desperately in love it is almost sickening... hehe... Hannah... now you have more time to plan that shower... RIGHT ON!!!!!
