About Me

My photo
Shannon E
Originally a Hoosier, my life (husband) has taken me to Arizona, Delaware, and now just outside of D.C. I never really know what is in store for us next, so I try to soak up each place we go, and use this blog to record memories of our experiences (with additional info on our two kids for their grandparents to enjoy).
