Dating, Dances & Drama

Shannon was just SURE that she would NEVER go on another date again since we made her move to Vernal, away from all of her friends. but I KNEW that would NOT be the case. Here we are just a few weeks later and she has already gone on 2 dates and has been asked to Homecoming. This doesn't happen without a little drama though. so here is the story.

The first date was with a guy who took her up on "U" hill (with her friend since the other guy had to work at the last minute) and they played games and watched the sunset. (That was on Tuesday) Then on Saturday, her friend Shelby set her up on a blind date and they all went riding quads. (college boy...yikes!)

And then on Sunday, she got asked to Homecoming by a different boy....Here is where the drama begins! because this boy is the boy Michelle likes! Yes! Shannon DOES NOT like him, but Michelle REALLY DOES! Ahhhhh
We came home to a big ice thing on our porch with this clue. It lead us on a scavenger hunt to a park, gas station and back to grandma's house..... all the while Shannon was sure that it was Kaydn (a guy in our ward) was the one who was asking her. (I knew it was Chad (the one Michelle likes because his mom gave me a heads up that he would be asking her because he wanted her to have the opportunity to go to Homecoming her senior year. ) I wasn't really sure how this was going to work out. Because I think Chad likes Michelle since he has sat by her on the bus every day and opened her locker for her when she couldn't do it and also walked her to class several times. so anyway, the last clue was sitting on grandma's table in her toaster but her door was locked! They had already left for church, but good old grandpa left the key in a place for us to find. Well, when Shannon read that it was Chad who was asking her, she didn't know how to react because she knew how much Michelle liked him. Michelle started to cry and Shannon felt soooooo bad. But after a little chat and some explanations, both were ok with it all. Michelle even helped Shannon answer him. They blew up tons of balloons but the answer was on a poster inside his bed.....

They hung streamers all over and then put the poster with the answer in side his bed.
The poster said..."Roses are red, violets are blue, I'd be a "dum dum" not to go with you" and she put two big bags of dum dum suckers inside his bed.

But the story doesn't end there.....Then Chad called last night and offered Michelle a ride to school. Now how can you not let her after she was so sad? But we compromised and said yes just this one time and we had Rachel go with them and they dropped her off at her school which is almost by the high school. So..... we will see if this story has a happy ending.
