Dear Shannon.

Holy goodness did you SEE your apartment today? I think the twins were almost more excited than you, but it was a close tie. Cute love sac! Cute kitchen, cute bathrooms cute bedrooms and AMAZING balcony! Isn't it convenient that you have wireless? And tv channels and all the furnishings you already have? Isn't it great how you have a washer and dryer and a dish washer? Ahh the luxuries. You can... grow a plant on your balcony! And decorate your room in fun colors and styles... and those purple towels you found in WalMart? Perfect! Ideally, you could get that cute cooking set that came in purple. Or that pretty speckled blue. That'd be pretty fun to cook with. :)
And feasting today at the Malt Shop where you used to go with Grandma and Grandpa when they were on their mission was like visiting memories, not to mention really delicious! Walking around campus and meeting Brother Pollock at the Institute, and his wife at the bookstore was comforting. Daydreaming with mom and the twins about visiting when they come to go through the temple or have to go to Nephi for ortho was grand as well.

Basically, today was long and exhausting and ridiculously exciting.
You finished High School girl! You did it!

World, here comes Shannon.
