Shannon, I have been catching up on your blog. Kudos to you because I think its amazing. Great work lady. Also, your post about Chicago is fun... I want you to look back at it in a year, and then 2 years to see what has changed. The cold doesn't seem as bad when you have the great city of chicago to call home.
