It’s birthday time!!
It has been big year of transitions for Gabe and Shannon!
And I have loved watching this girl face every adversity, challenge, and opportunity with such grace, humility, gratitude and sense of adventure.
From graduating last Dec to entering the world of full time employment, to losing her job due to cutbacks to starting her own business! She has packed and moved multiple times – including cross county, and had a fun stint in NYC.
I’ve also loved this year bcs we finally got to see Gabe and Shannon after over 2 years!
We got to see them in the summer for 10 days and a whole month over Christmas!
So we got to have a lot of “everyday” interaction too which was so so nice!
Here are 10 of the many things I love about Shannon:
She is hardworking. It was fun seeing her in action and bcs she works in the life coaching industry we have some common circles and I love hearing how much people love working with her!
She is always up for an adventure . Moving cross country? Done. Moving again? Why not?! Travel anywhere – sure!
She has strong opinions. I love that she is a strong, independent woman who has ambitions, perspectives, desires, beliefs and is never afraid to speak her mind.
At the same time, she is so respectful of others. She advocates for herself, others and her beliefs, but is patient and tolerant all at the same time.
She is always so quick to respond to any text our family (or me!) sends. I can count on her to be one of the first to respond!
She is supportive of everyone around her. If you have something going on, she remembers. She asks questions, offers help, shows enthusiasm – she takes an interest in all around her.
She needs her quiet time – and is not afraid to show it, take it and recharge!
She is resourceful – whether it be finding out how to do something, make something, go somewhere – she figures it out. She researches things and is always willing to share.
She is a planner. Nothing more to say except she’s a woman after my own planning heart!
She is a great life partner with Gabe. She is loving, kind, supportive, fun, playful, serious, honest, considerate, challenging (in the good way lol)… they are so great together and it’s fun watching them grow together in life!
So happy to have Shannon as part of our CDF family !
Happy happy birthday and much love to you! Looking forward to another fun year together!!
Love you!
