Just When You Thought it was Safe to Forget About Us

Just in case you were wondering, if you ever leave your home, your friends, your family and most things familiar to you, chances are they will be more or less the same a year later when you return. Now that we've been back in the states for just about four months it seems as though we were never gone at all. Life has a funny way of making it simple to slide back into a regular day routine--especially if you're Shanon and go back to the same job. (Thanks for being the bread-winner.) Anyway, we're alive and well, and back to dealing with the struggles of real life; i.e. bills, jobs (or lack thereof), house tenants, moving, car trouble, dirty dishes, presidential campaigns, etc., etc.  

As Shanon works to save the world one cancer patient at a time, Jared serves food in a local Pub, The Pub to be exact, and tries to figure out the inner complexities of his existence. There are rumors that he might start another blog that targets the cockeyed idiosyncrasies of people and the clever, or oafish, things they do. That may not make sense now, but if he gets around to it you'll see what he means. And no, he won't be talking in the third person when the new blog hits the www, but he will post a link on this site.

For now, enjoy the last of the photos from the final days of our time spent in the N.US and Canada. We hope you've enjoyed reading as much as we've enjoyed sharing. 

Here's to unexpected surprises and life-changing experiences.

Shanon! I randomly came across you blog. What are the chances? I haven't seen you forever. Maybe since the country club days. You clearly have the best life ever. Ha. I just wanted to say hi!
