It must be in the air...

I talked with Shannan for close to an hour last week to follow up on the trip report she emailed about her climb to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro. We also talked about our wedding preparations (or lack there of) and I asked her if they had any plans. She said that they'd talked about it, vaguely, but that there was no planning going on.

Then last night Shannan calls to let us know that John popped the question! I'm very happy for both of them - I think they make a terrific couple and complement each other very well. It seems that they'll even beat us to the wedding, since they plan to get married before John's school year starts in the fall. Of course, if anyone can organize a wedding on short notice, Shannan is that person. Jfer and I think that she would make a pretty good wedding planner - maybe that's something she can consider as a career.
