A Different Direction

I really don't write much anymore! But reading through some of my friend's blogs, it seems to be the trend.


I have no excuse, no apology or anything. All I can say is that my blog has become something that I no longer have much time for. It's pretty sad considering it's been a BIG part of my life for the past 5 years. I look back and read about all the places I've been, the things I've seen, all the things I've overcome, the heartbreaks, the amazing moments and all the goals, hopes and dreams I've accomplished! I must say it's been an awesome 5 years!

With all that said, I'm not giving up my blog...I'm just thinking of going in a different direction for a few months. Now some of you (the ones who have been waiting for a new post from me) are saying, 'What's this new direction?' Basically my blog is going to become a place for me to record memories and moments.

Now you're saying to yourself 'what's the difference in that and what you've been doing?' Well, I'm glad you asked.

There's not too much of a difference except it's going to be specifically geared towards my life moments. Recording events and things that go on in the day to day life of Shannon White. Pictures of vacations and friends... basically it's going to become my journal of life and all about me so that when I turn this blog into a book one day, it will represent my life to a T.

I hope that's okay?!

Do you guys think it's different from what I've been doing?? Would you still read if it's all about me, my thoughts, my fears and my daily experiences?

Hummmm, now I'm thinking it really isn't that much different!

Destin... How I missed you!

There's always those places that you just can't let go!


Destin/Fort Walton Beach is one of those places for me. You see, my first experience there was amazing! It was a Summer of living at the beach and getting work with with awesome people and just experiencing life on the road. We ate great food, we relaxed in the turquoise water and we embraced a place so beautiful that I teared up when we left.

Well, this past weekend I got to return to Destin/Fort Walton Beach and this time I got to share the moments and make new memories with Kevin!

It was so great! We ate at Old Bay Steamer... had some crab legs and shrimp that will make your mouth water. We walked along the white sandy beaches while the ocean breeze blew across our faces. We played football on the beach and relaxed under an umbrella. We even made time to go get doughnuts at the Donut Hole (twice). It was just an all around perfect weekend!

Memories made:



The Sunsets were gorgeous!

Then there was this sand hole. I thought it'd be fun to play in it, ha!



Feet by the water!

The water was just amazing!

I want to go back...NOW!
