Life is a funny thing.
Hilarious, in fact.
In the beginning, the beginning of this blog, that is, I had no idea what I was doing, where it was headed, and where we would go.
I still don’t know where I’ll end up.
I do know this week I wound up in New York, and somehow, on a television show.
This is where I’ll tell you how it made me feel. I felt completely humbled, in awe, struck with general “how did I get here” syndrome.
I felt excited, thrilled, and curious to see how it would all turn out. I’ll fill you in on the in between later.
But tonight?
I have nothing but these two on my mind.
Nothing.
Here comes the funny part.
Dreamy and even once in a lifetime experiences come by rarely, but they truly almost always leave us wanting to be the one place we began.
Or me anyway.
For me, this notion is beyond comforting.
To know that wherever I go, whatever I do, I’ll wind up back in sweet home alabama.
And while that’s mildly cliche, tomorrow afternoon will most certainly be sweet.

I love your blog! This post brought a little tear to my eye…so true.
Your family is beautiful and those pictures are fantastic.
You are adorable and your children- precious! It is all well deserved and cannot wait to find out how the hubs liked NYC! Enjoy your blog and look forward to checking out your new adventures!
So sweet! When does the show air?
What a wonderful role model you are setting for your precious children! No matter what successes come, your true blessings from God are those precious children and family.
Too true! Each time I’ve had the chance to go to where I couldn’t have imagined a couple years ago, being away is a complete and total reminder that I’m where I’m supposed to be on most days, and that is at home! It’s a great thing to know and own! Janell

What a sweet post! I know the feeling…I love to travel and experience the world, but for me, sweet Charleston, SC is where I was born and raised, and it’s where I want to come home to!
the last picture is so sweet.
You certainly have your head in the right place Miss Shaunna. Congratulations on the success that took you to New York, but Congratulations on your beautiful family and your realization that all the success in the world is not worth much without the people you love the most by your side.
