the long awaited update

After the evening service last night, I went over to talk to some friends of whom I have not talked with in a long time. They complained that I have not updated my blog, since that is there source of information on the happenings of the world of Sharon. So here is my long awaited update, to keep my readers happy and entertained.

Since last posting, many things have happened, and I'll probably forget some of them in the midst of typing this post. Basketball season has ended, and I have notified the A.D. that I will not be able to coach next year. I have prayerfully thought this through, and I know that in order to put into teaching all that I wanted to and spend quality time in my relationships, I needed to let go of something. I will miss my cheerleaders and the fun times I had with them. I enjoyed getting to know each one of the girls, and see them grow through out the season.

Derek's family came for an 8 day visit, which went smoothly. His family met my family, and all seem to get along, which is great. I am glad that they had the opportunity to come up here to Pennsylvania from sunny florida.

My nephew, Luke Taylor, got saved, which is a huge blessing and answer to prayer! You can pray for Audrey, she has had some health issues come up, and the doctors are unsure of what is causing it. They thought it was some kind of seizure, but the tests were clear. She goes in for an MRI soon, and she has to be put under. It makes my sister a bit nervous for her 18 month old daughter to be put under, so I ask prayer for her as well.

Teaching has been going well. We started the looooooooooooooooong process of learning how to write a research report. . . You can pray for my sanity. From now until April 18th, that is all we are doing. . . learning the writing and researching process!!! At the end of it all, the effort is worth it, but in the midst of the storm it seems endless.

Well, that's a brief update on life for the past month or so. I hope that satisfies all curiousities:o)

The picture at the top is another one of Derek and myself after church one Sunday, and the picture on the bottom is of the flower Derek gave me for our 5 month anniversary. AND to answer all questions, no, we are not engaged. . . YET:o)

Hey Sharon,
Thanks for the update :)
I know the ugg that goes with research writing. It seems like as kids we had no idea what it really was. I mean the teacher made you do a whole bunch of steps, but you never see the big picture. Ha.
I'm not teaching it right now. I'm writing one, well sorta (same concept) in order to finish my prayers. So while you're praying for your sanity, you can pray for mine too. And I'll think of you too. Best, Katie

thanks Sharon for updating the blog! Good to see you last Sunday night. I understand about letting something go from your schedule, so that you can focus on other things. I feel like that is where I am too!
Will be praying for your niece. Let me tell you, the worst thing for her going under is the experience of getting an IV. The rest is usually really easy and if she gets too sleepy, there are meds that they can give that wake her up right away. I have had to do it to a couple kids for procedures. The kids do great, it is the parents that are a wreck. Nonetheless, I will be praying for Steph too.
