First date. After nearly a month of FaceTime calls that lasted for hours, we couldn't wait to meet. I (Shane) was so nervous but excited. Ruth's Chris for the win.

Second date in Huntsville at First Watch.

By date three, we knew God was doing something so special; look at the joy on our faces!

Such a special weekend. Saw the movie Mercy together.

Special day date!

Another date getting to go to church together followed by Jim 'n Nicks and we went to see the movie Solo Mio.

We love walking. Our first trip to the beach in Panama City and walking a trail.

Our first flight together to visit family in Florida.

Strolling Green Market in West Palm with Luke, Malia and Finn. Such a beautiful day.

Beach time.

Beach stroll after we met for breakfast.

Headed out for a lunch date.

More time together on Easter weekend.

Our first Easter services. So wonderful.

Day date just before her big surprise birthday party.

The ask!

SHE SAID YES!!! (TWICE) The first time she said yes, she grabbed the ring and put it on her own finger. We had to do it again.

Sealed!

Engagement joy!

Couldn't have done it without our new friend Gully the sloth!

Walking into what God has next, full of hope and gratitude... and one more surprise!

Part 2 of the surprise, Kristyn's family and friends surprising her after she said yes!

Kristyn's crew. Chuck & Pam (Parents), Josh & Rami (Sister) and little Charlie Grace (Niece), Alice (Friend) & Brandy (Friend).

Enjoying our first pictures as an engaged couple at the Nashville Zoo.
