Shawnna has always been one to embrace a good challenge. No task was too daunting for her. That came to show when just weeks after her move to St. George for her 1st year of school, she spotted Tanner, the lawn maintenance boy. Feeling a spark of intrigue, she had the courage to ask for his number. However, despite the initial fun of their interaction, life took them on separate paths for the following year.

Then, Tanner finally made his move, reaching out to Shawnna a little over a year after their first encounter at the Holland lawn. Their first date was truly magical; they quickly realized there was a connection between them that felt unlike anything they had ever experienced. It was as if they had known each other for years. They even decided to extend their time in St. George, choosing to forgo their Christmas breaks to spend more time together.

As weeks passed, they came to the conclusion that the timing wasn’t right—summer was approaching, and they would soon be apart for months. However, after navigating that summer and reflecting on what they had, they were eager to rekindle what they once shared. Upon their return to university in the fall, Tanner and Shawnna knew they had to give what could be another chance. As they reignited that flame, it has burned brightly ever since.

Today, Tanner and Shawnna are not only deeply in love but also the best of friends. They have learned to love and grow together through every twist and turn of their relationship. We are so excited to see where life takes them!
