Illness has Struck the Ennis House

I remember the last time I had the flu. It was about four months before Kevin and I were married.  About five years ago exactly.  Nothing has ever knocked me down quite like that before and I hoped to never feel this way again.  If you think this would have encouraged me to seek out […]

Two Years Ago

Two years ago, we (as kids) received one of the worst phone calls you can receive. I’ll never forget it… We were eating dinner at Bandana’s, and Kevin’s phone rings. This rarely happens.

We should probably have some concept of the city before making that decision. Indianapolis has an actual downtown that you can walk around […]

Regardless of the significant event, I have an onslaught of friends/ colleagues/ random strangers tell me that the world […]

My goal is to write daily (or every other day) while my adventures unfold although I will only post during adventures and not during my daily (boring) life.  Prep time also counts towards my adventure!  I’m going to attempt to add at least one picture to each post to help […]
