Our Wedding

Back in 2021 Shaley decided she was going to move out to Texas and leave everything she knew behind. Little did she know two years later in March of 2023 she would meet the man she would marry. Around the same time Dillon had moved back to Texas from Mississippi, never knowing he would cross paths with Shaley a couple years later. Thanks to good ol' Tinder the couple had both swiped right on each other. It wasn't until two months later when she would finally agree to go on a date with Dillon. In his words "I was just about to give up on her." Little did he know good things come to those who wait. They agreed to go to lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. Right before Shaley left the house Dillon had told her he was bringing his son Kash who was 4 at the time. He told her if Kash doesn't like you then there is no way they could be together. Shaley and Kash hit it off instantly, when they were leaving and driving out the parking lot Kash had the biggest smile and waved saying "See you soon Shay!" After that day they both knew there was something special. Here we are now planning a wedding! Here's to this little family!

Travel

If you would like to take a drive up the coast I would highly recommend going to Hearst Castle. You will get to see the Zebras in the mountains and see one of the coolest artifacts around.

Hearst Castle

Avila Valley Barn is one of my favorite places to go in fall. They have so many little and big animals all the kids love to feed. In the fall they have all their pies (which are delicious) and it is only 2 minutes from the beach.

Avila Valley Barn

Downtown SLO is always a great place for shopping and food. If you get into town early on Thursday they will be having their farmers market.

Downtown SLO

Go ahead and get yourself some cake at the Madonna Inn and see all that's pink.
