About Shannon

…but you can call me Shan! My wife, family and friends are my number ones. I’m a team leader working with 14 to 21-year-old CPS/foster care youth and truly enjoy supporting their very unique situations. I love living in AZ, although I can never get used to the summers. I think it’s important to return unwanted items back to the correct aisle/bin at the grocery store (especially refrigerated or frozen foods). I love to sing, play the piano, and I can even still do the splits…seriously, I can but only with my left leg in front. Although it’s hard, I try to live by a set of rules my big brother shared with me in 7th grade: #1. Don’t Care What Other People Think, #2. Be Nice, #3. Smile. In our community, people struggle every day with sharing smiles and accepting them…I hope we can ALL smile at each other one day but first, I will share mine with MRSter.

    Just wanted to say how informative this site is. I love the candy buffet idea and the wonka bars are a great touch. We’ve just bought some from http://www.personaliseyourwedding.com and they went down really well. I couldn’t recommend this idea enough. All our guests love them

    Good luck and keep up the good work!

    I believe you should choose to call yourself Mrs., if that is what you would like. You are married, therefore a Mrs. Most importantly, you should do whatever you feel best represents yourself and makes you happiest! :-)
