The beginning of the rest of our lives together started on a Friday afternoon in May when Shawn proposed. Shawn planned a date night that replicated our second date - a hike in New Hope and then dinner following. Little did Amanda know Shawn would get down on one knee and a photographer would be popping out of the bushes. Shawn even added another surprise by flying Jill in from Texas from the weekend. We celebrated all weekend long - a Blink-182 concert on Saturday (a band we bonded over on our first date), and a surprise engagement party on Sunday. We can't wait to continue the celebration on our special day with everyone we love!
