SPOTLIGHT!

Shannon Gemmell-we think you are GREAT!!
I was born in/on: I was born at Long Beach Navay Hospital, in Long Beach California
I grew up in: That's a tricky question. Can I just claim that I grew up in Fallbrook? That's where home is :)
Married--single--children? Married, no children, but a very active puppy named Brodie
My career is: Working on that. Going back to school right now!
My favorite candy is: I don't know what they're called but they're hershey chocolate nuggets with pieces of almond and toffee in them. So Yummy! My secret desire is to be a: great pianist and quilter
I love: my family of course!
My favorite sport is: I love to watch the Fallbrook Warriors play some good football! (mostly because my baby brother is awesome!)
I am allergic to: Nothing
I have traveled to: Can I change this question. My favorite vacation ever was when my family and I backpacked through Yosemite National Park. It was so much fun and so challenging. One of our days we climed Half Dome. It was probably one of the biggest accomplishments of my life. Anyway, Yosemite is so beautiful, especially when viewed from the top of Half Dome!
I want to travel to: Scottland
My church calling is: Young Women's 2nd Counselor
A perfect day for me is: hanging out with my family and reading a good book
The food I most dislike is: I loathe Pickles! Yuck!
I am passionate about: too many things. I sometimes get myself into trouble.
I am proud of: a lot of things actually. I would have to say the thing I am most proud of is graduating from BYU-Idaho with a 4.0
My hobbies are: I love to read and I love to go camping
What I love about the gospel is: Everything! I love that I know who I am and that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me very much. With his help I know I can get through anything.
What I love about RS is: Visiting Teaching. I love being able to get to know other sisters.
Something interesting about me is: um....that's a hard one...I have three younger brothers and I married someone that only has brothers. Is that interesting? I have a scar on my tounge. Now that's an interesting story!


I love what her favorite thing about RS is!!!
