An event 22 years in the making...

Okay ladies and gentlemen, parents and siblings, family and friends, lomls and sisters, Shivonne Nicole Glenn is officially off the market. Yes, you read correctly. I, for the first time in my life, have an honest to goodness boyfriend (Mom, don't freak out. I'm not staying across the world or anything...well not for a boy at least). Turns out I only had to move to another country to start dating...weird, I know. Anywho, he is a very nice boy (that's what you're supposed to say..right?); his name is Chris, he's originally from Maylasia but has lived in London since he was eight, he works at Mhor Fish, and somehow he got me to stray from my "I don't date" ways and we're going to see how things go. Probably because he's tall. Y'all know how I am about height-I've analyzed myself in a froydian way and decided it's because all the men in my family are tall, so that must be why. Kinda awkward to blog about this, but I thought y'all should know. Okay. Enough about that. Moving on...

I've had a few rather uneventful days full of work and not too much else, though I did have a nice dinner at an Indian food restaurant the other night (yep. that would be a first date. again, weird.) Also, tonight Ian's-the Mhor Bread chef-girlfriend is coming into town so I'm going to meet her for the first time and then we're going to have ourselves a little sophisticated wine and cheese action with Veronika....well, at least pretend sophisticated. I don't know how successful I'll be. I'm only a redneck from Texas after all....

Other than that, all has been rather quiet here. Of course I work again tomorrow, but I think I might have another day off in my horizon somewhere...how far in the horizon I'm not sure, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'm also going to start reading more again...I haven't picked up any of my books in over a week, and I keep forgetting how many good reads I have lined up. I better get on that. Okay. Enough random ramblings. Love you all! Muah!

hahaha, that is so incredibly awesome! It sounds like you're having an amazing time over there. We just finished our spring break over here and I only have 6 weeks left and then my student teaching starts in the fall. eek!! Love you bunches! My entire apartment is riveted to your saga abroad. Can't wait to hear what new adventures you get yourself into.

Thanks for letting us know about Chris. We have lots of questions, but I'm sure you let us know things in future blogs or otherwise. Take care Princess, and we're praying for you.

Hey Shivonne,
Noah and I were talking and we got to wondering, with you working in a bakery, and Chris in a fish shop, what does it smell like when you guys get together after work?
