Website/True Beauty Expo/Miss USA

Since I finally had some extra time today to work on my website, I thought it might be something worth writing about. I don't consider my self an expert, by any means at web design, but it is still fun to do. If any of you out there have built you own sites, you know know my frustrations when it comes to getting code right. Its hard! It is such a long and tedious process that would make most impatient people's heads spin. Luckily, I am one of the patient ones.

A more notable topic of today is the True Beauty Expo. I just bought my plane ticket and will be attending the weekend expo in Vegas in about a month. It will be part of my training process for Miss Texas USA. I have coaches I work with here in Texas, but it is always good to get additional tips/advice/perspective. I am open and willing to absorb any and all training I can get my hands on this year!

This trip to Vegas will be one of many this year. I also recently booked my ticket to Vegas to attend Miss USA in June. I am so excited to be apart of it, and cheer on the beautiful Texas state title holder, Miss Ana Rodriguez along with the Florida state title holder, Miss Lissette Garcia (In case you didn't know I have a history with Florida pageantry). Let me know if you will be attending Miss USA in June as well; I would love to connect with all of the pageant people out there!

Blog Launch!

This blog was written a few days ago... but just now posted :)
Today marks my first official blog for www.shannonmcanally.com! It's a snow day here in Dallas, TX and I'm for the most part trapped inside my house which freed up a lot of time for me to work on the website.
I wanted to have the chance to explain exactly why I created this website. It's not because I was just bored, but rather because I wanted to share parts of my life with everyone that you would otherwise not be able to see. To be honest... I Googled my name one day earlier this year and saw a lot of old random pictures and news that wouldn't be very helpful to someone who wanted to know more about me. I like to consider myself technologically savvy, even though I am nowhere near an expert level of website creating.
So as of right now, the site is basic, my blogs might be boring, and the site visitation will be slow. But... I have to start somewhere. :) So in short, Thank you for taking the time to stop by and be a part of My "Big Picture."
