The Latest from the Shepherds

Don't fall out of your chairs, I am updating our blog! So much happens in between my posts, that it's hard for me to remember it all, especially if I didn't take a picture!! Here are a few of the exciting events at the Shepherd home since last post. We had another successful school year wrap up with Meagan graduating from Mesa High School. Ashley finished her first year at Mesa Community College and is officially on the waiting list to get into the Nursing Program there. Emily was elected to Jr. Class Secretary, so she is already busy with StuCo stuff. Max and Zack had a busy summer with camps and friends. Julie and Ashley both completed a CNA course (Certified Nursing Assistant) and are awaiting their licenses to come in the mail so they can start applying for jobs. Steve and Max survived the 50 mile hike for Scouting. Steve and Julie survived another senior trip as chaperones with Meagan and her friends. We also survived another year of Girls Camp - as 4th year hike leaders this time around. There are so many things happening around here, so thanks for not giving up on me. I love blogging, but also find many excuses not to keep up. Thanks for stopping by.
