Shannon 4-1-1



I am linking up with Becky from From Mrs. to Mama and Charlotte From Carolina Cotton to Illinois Corn for a bloggers 411.

Hope you enjoy!

1. How long have you been blogging? And what got you started on blogging? Has your blog changed?

I started blogging shortly after graduation (May 2011) hoping that someone would stumble upon my blog, think I was great writer, and give me a job writing my own column. We all can see how well that plan worked out. HA!

It clearly changed after I got my first real job...said job had potential to be very boring on most days, and my bestie Marla encouraged me to use that downtime to blog! Shes a smarty-pants.

2. Did you go to college? If so where, and what did you study?

I went to the College of Charleston in Charleston, SC where I studied Communication Media Studies and Philosophy. ( Funny Story: I chose a minor in Philo. because, at the time, it was my life goal to have my own TV talk show. I thought if people knew I was fluent in philosophy that would mean I was a great thinker and therefore I would have tons of great things to talk about on air. Another HA for today.)

3. Where have you traveled?

US Virgin Islands, Dominican Republic, a few spots in Mexico, the Florida Keys, New Orleans, Washington D.C, NYC, and other various places in VA, NC, SC, GA, and FL.

Currently deciding where we should go on our honeymoon! Somewhere tropical. Any suggestions?

4. If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you would buy?

Forget buying something, I would pay off my student loans, then pay for the wedding, and thennnn buy myself a Tahoe. Let's be for real, if I'm winning the lottery, I better win BIG.

5. What are your 3 biggest pet peeves?

1.Wearing white after Labor Day/before Easter. Yes, even in Charleston.
