Shannon.....

Shannon and her friend Sara went out to Salt lake and saw Parachute in concert.  They had back stage passes and had a fun time.  It's her first concert.  Aunt Amy graciously let them stay over night.  It was a big step as a mom letting her go but she made some fun memories and came home safe and sound.

 This year for Halloween the "gang" all decided coordinate their costumes for the single adult dance.  Shannon and Steven went as Cinderella and Prince Charming.  She bought the white jacket at DI and I made all the embellishments to make it look like prince charming.... and not to toot my own horn but "TOOT TOOT"  I think it turned out pretty darn good!  We are saving the jacket so that if Brad needs it when he gets home for next Halloween he will have an awesome costume!

 Sara was the perfect match for Snow White and she made Nate's outfit.  Alan came up with his costume....a little weird but I guess when you don't have a partner you gotta do what you gotta do.

Shannon and her friend Bailey went to Salt Lake with dates to go to the Jazz game.  They got really good tickets (row 22) and had a fun time.  Shan's was a blind date kind of thing and it turned out fun.  Another one of those parenting moments of indecision of whether going 3 hours for a date is ok.... but they all arrived back home safe and sound and with fun memories to boot!

 Shannon just hit her year mark working for Papa Murphys.  She is now on the morning shift to accommodate her college classes.  She has been a little frustrated lately but is sticking it out due to the fact that she is hoping to be accepted at BYU and wanting to start there this summer. 

good old Pappa Murphys

 It is really sad to think that we only have about 6 more months with Shannon around and then she will be off doing her own thing.  I know that is what they are raised to do but it still is just a bit sad.
