Our every day and outlandish stories
Hi! We’re Rhys and Shannon and we started writing this blog in 2006 as a way to stay in touch with loved ones when we moved cross-country (our first of many) from Indianapolis, IN to Portland, OR. After a 13-year hiatus, we’re back and better than ever with more adventures to share, including our recent move from Atlanta, GA to Valencia, Spain. Follow us as we navigate this amazing life we love and all the twists and turns that come with it.
