My Life in a Nutshell

On April 27, 1992 a legend was born named Shawna Lynn Furman. :) I was born in Florida, moved from there when I was about a month old. Lived in Pennsylvania most of my life. I have two sisters: Amanda (Mandy) and Chelsie. My father walked out on us when I was 21 days old. He has lived about 25 miles away from me my whole life and has nothing to do with me. My mom has been a single parent our whole life and has done a very well job! I love my mom with all my heart. She is my strength. Us four girls grew up to be very close. She struggled to raise three girls on her own but we all ended up just fine.

 

 

 

July 9, 2005 my sister gave birth to a handsome baby boy! Devon was my first nephew and pretty much has grown up with me. He is more of a brother to me than a nephew. June 4, 2008 my beautiful niece was born! Trista is my sister's little 'mini me'. She seriously acts just like us.

Up until I was 16, I went to KAHS. I moved to OE in my eleventh grade year in January. I hated my mom for this up until April 2009.

A boy named Joshua started flirting with me, throwing pieces of eraser across the classroom at me. May 12, 2009 started the rest of my life with the man I love. I now thank my mom for moving me away from my home town.

 

 

Josh graduated that year and I still had one more year to go. Once I graduated, I moved in with him into his mother's house. I started college August 2010 for Business Management.

June 2, 2011 my sister gave birth to her last child she'll ever have, Donnie James Matthew. Donnie (Bum) is my little man. He is such a ham now! My sister's husband also has a son, which I consider to be my nephew also. Trentin was born November 18, 2008. I love my niece and nephews with everything I have. Without my babies, I don't know what I would do with myself!

 

 

May 2012 my mom was in a terrible car accident. She had to be life lighted. but after 6 weeks of therapy, she was semi back to normal. This was the biggest scare of my life. I'm sure I will make a blog on just this subject. Josh and I moved in with her to help her out. I grew very close to my mom in the past year.

 At the beginning of this year, I switched my degree to Early Childhood Education because I love children, but I really plan to go into nursing and just going to school for ECE just to become more educated before I have my own children. I am still not completely sure of what I want career wise.

May 3, 2013 Joshua proposed to me with a Zippo lighter. He works at Zippo, so he thought it would be a good idea. He had it engraved with the day we started dating, the day he proposed and "Will You Marry Me?"

A little over a month ago Joshua and I got our own house with my best friend, Sam. Josh bought me a ring a week ago. I am the happiest girl alive now that I am officially engaged to the man of my dreams! 4 1/2 years was a long wait! Now we are starting to plan our wedding. May 9, 2015 I will marry my best friend! So this is my life in a nutshell. My life basically revolves around my family, friends and work. Nothing really amazing, but planning for a wedding should be pretty interesting. After we get married, we plan to start our own family. My lifelong dream is to become a mother! I cannot wait to make Josh a daddy! I know he will do great.

I will try to post everyday! I hope you like my blog. :)
