Hi There.
Its me Gabbie. AKA Shannon Hadley. Thanks VaVeeka for setting up this blog. And by the way what's the story behind the name VaVeeka I never asked? My family and I had a great time at the reunion. Is was fun to see some of you. Wish we could have seen everyone. My kids tried out the zipline and had a blast. My daughter who is seven smacked face first into the mattress but still loved it. Let me catch you up on what I've been doing the last few years. Two months after camp I got engaged to my missionary, Brett. Some of you may remember me talking about him and my collage of pictures of him by my bunk. We got married shortly after and have been married 12 years. We have adopted two beautiful children. We got them both when they were two days old. It has been the greatest experience. Our daughter Emilie is 7 and our son Logan is 5. We live in North Ogden. We built a home their about 4 years ago. My husband owns his own electrical business called Master Electrical. He loves his job. I love being a stay at home Mom. There is nothing better. My newest hobby is our blog. At this point I think I am the only one who ever looks at it because it is so new. So please check it out! I can't wait to catch up with all of you!

One of my favorite hobbies these days is my blog too. I started it when we moved to Australia just to keep the family involved in our life and so they could see the baby grow up. Now I love to do it. It is a bit of a journal. Off to check yours out now!!!
What a cute family you have. It's so much fun to hear what you have been up to. I will go check out your blog!
This is how "VaVeeka" came to be. I was 13 and had just returned from Oakcrest. I loved it so much I just kept thinking about how much I wanted to go back someday and be a counselor. One night I was watching a movie with my friend who went to Oakcrest with me and during the credits someone with the name VaVeeka was credited for something. We were laughing about it and just couldn't believe someone would actually name their child VaVeeka. I thought it was just wacky and crazy enough that it would be a great Oakcrest camp name. So, right then and there I said to my 13 year old self, "If I ever go back and work at Oakcrest, that will be my camp name!" 5 years later when Beep called to welcome me to Oakcrest that was literally the first thought that entered my mind. .."I'm going to be VaVeeka!" The rest is history.
VaVa that is so funny! You were so prepared. Me I was like a name - let me think.....
