this is not the entire story. this is nearly a glimpse.
on me:
hi, my name is shaynah i am a big dreaming, hopeless romantic. i always over-romanticize things in my head, and i like it that way. i am from the midwest (home grown in minneapolis). i think all moms have superhero powers. i collect coffee table books and constantly draw inspiration from them (even though my inspiration is mostly kept in my head with nowhere to go). i am continually changing and even i can barely keep up with all my different moods. i love to laugh, laughing is the most beautiful thing in the entire world. our house is constantly filled with chaos and laughter.
on him:
i am married to my high school sweetheart. andy is that gentle, stable voice that my keeps me (well... all of us) tethered to reality. i swear the man never loses his cool. he has the purest heart and is lead by God. andy is completely under our boys spell, as well. he is the type of man who kneels down and talks to the boys at their level verses talking down to them. he loves teaching the boys and is kind and gentle. i am sure you already know this, but there is nothing more romantic than seeing your husband as a father. i am not lying when i say we are more in love now than we were the day we got married. we are so very blessed.
on being a mom:
i am called many different names throughout the day but my favorite ones are"mama" (by rowan) and "mommy" (by brinley). the moment i saw each of them i was forever changed. i was hooked. being a mom is the most defining thing i have ever done. it is challenging and inspiring and rewarding. i am one of those moms who does everything i swore i would never do before i had kids. who really knows what they are talking about anyways?! i had no idea how much i would hate saying "no" to those beautiful blue eyes when they look at me. seeing the world through my child's eyes is the most enchanting thing ever. i love living in their world. i am a huge believer that my kids have taught me more than i have taught them. i can not thank them enough for the wonderful gift they are to me each and every day. they are my everything.
on us:
we jump on beds and couches. we sometimes leave the dishes in the sink over night. we sometimes wait to do laundry until someone is out of underwear. we ride bikes together. we go on adventures. we often crank our music up way too loud. i am pretty sure we all talk at the top of our lungs at all times. we don't care about perfect grammar. or punctuation!!!!!!! we have family slumber parties in the living room. sometimes we wear the same shirt 2 days in a row. we play ball in the house. we have nerf wars. sometimes we have dessert before supper. we laugh. we pray together. we aren't perfect.
on me and you:
nice to meet you friend.
