Shannon Makes Officer

Friday night, Shannon tried out to be an officer of the Shining Stars Dance Team. She had been practicing the dance for a couple weeks before hand, and had to do an interview, and make a 'life book'. She worked really hard on the things she had to do, and was chosen by the other on the team to be one of the seven officers for this next school year. She was very excited, and they all went to Applebees after the try-outs to celebrate (I guess it's kind of a tradition thing..).

Go-in' To The Ch-a-pel.....Gon-na Get Mar-ried.......

Around April 10, Elise decided she wanted to bump up her wedding date to April 17, 2008, in Las Vegas. That was hardly time for us to arrange to get out there, but we scrambled and bought airline tickets/hotel reservations and flew out there on Thurs, the 17th.

We arrived around 9:00am in Las Vegas, rented a car, and drove to the Tropicana Hotel, where we were all staying. Elise and Rowdy still didn't have a wedding place picked out yet, nor did they have their marriage license.... so they had a busy afternoon getting the license, and finding a place to have the wedding. Karen went with them to look at wedding chapels, and they all returned back to the hotel around 5:00 pm. The wedding was at 7:30 pm.

Well, to make a long story short, I walked Elise down the aisle, and Elise giggled all the way, and kept pulling on me. As we got in front of the preacher, I was asked to give my daughter away.

It was a nice, short ceremony, and Elise and Rowdy looked very happy together. After the wedding, we went to Harrah's hotel and had their buffet, but since it was almost 9:00pm by then, we kind of got what was left. Having gotten up at 4:00am CST to catch our plane at 6:40am, we were pretty tired by the time the night was over.

The next day, we all just kind of hung out, did some shopping, etc, then met for dinner that night. I'm really glad my sister Dianne, and my Dad came for the wedding. It was good to have some family there. Karen's mom and sister couldn't make a decision to come on such short notice.

We flew home Saturday afternoon, and were ready for bed by the time we got back to Dallas that night. Daniel especially had a good time in the casinos. We hardly saw him. It was nice to see Annie again, and be with family for the short time.
