Week 4 Intro Post

Hello blogging group members.
My name is Elise Morford. I am originally from Asheville, NC. I have an undergrad degree in American History and a minor in PoliSci with a concentration in Education from Appalachian State University. If you keep up with college football at all this is the school that beat Michigan last season in one of the biggest upsets in history.

After graduating I decided I wanted to see the world a little before settling down so I joined the Navy and became an Intelligence Officer. I was on active duty in the Navy for five years, during which time I was stationed in Corpus Christi, TX, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and San Diego, CA. I also met my husband in the Navy and after a few years of moving around we decided to rejoin civilian life. Now we live in Westernville, NY just north of Rome. We are expecting our first child (a girl) in a few weeks. We also have two cats, a black cat named Cosmo and an orange cat appropriately named O.C. (short for orange cat).

I have never blogged before so I am looking forward to this experience and to talking with you over the semester. My first topic is Digital Storytelling, followed by Vlogging (Vodcasting) so I will try to find some interesting and informative information for you on these topics in the coming weeks.
