    Congrats on getting married! I was in banking 11 years before I became a stay-at-home mom. I worked at small bank's call center for two of those years. Regardless of what department I was working in, I enjoyed banking.

      Thank you! I'm so excited to be getting married, I can hardly wait until September!

      This is my first call center job, but I've been with the bank for 6 years. I've never regretted coming to work here!

    Shannah, I was chosen for this award by Michelle at I Hope You Dance and I would have picked you had you not already received this honor. Books are fun, but it's your smiling face that I always notice first. You've faced incredible loss for one so young and I just want you to know that I share your feelings about our military men and women. And I rejoice with you over your upcoming marriage. Thanks for sharing your heart, Shannah.

      Thank you Carole, that really means a lot to me! I couldn't have faced it without my Lord carrying me every step of the way. He kept me grounded and smiling when I wanted to hide, and I credit Him for bringing me my wonderful fiance. To God be the Glory!

    God bless you.

    I'm so sorry for your loss and can't even imagine the unbearable heartache of becoming a widow at such a young age. *Hug*. And warmest congratulations to you and your fiancé, Shannah.
