As summer was coming to an end and Shane had to leave soon, we decided to go on a date or two. This was one, we had gone to Columbia, MO to see a movie, Fast 9.

As luck would have it Shane wound up going back to Louisiana to finish his masters' program online. This allowed us to connect again to do something we both love... watch our LSU Tigers Football. On September 18th, 2021 we made it official.

First Christmas season together and if anyone knows me they know I love Christmas so obviously I forced Shane to take photos in front of my tree.

College day at church, week before Hope started senior year at LSU and close to a year of dating.

December 6th 2022, Shane graduated with his master's in Physical Education and Coaching.

May 19th, 2023, Hope graduates with her bachelor's degree in Sport Administration with a concentration in Commerce.

To wrap up the 2023 summer we attended a Post Malone Concert in Dallas.

Celebrating 2 years on September 18, 2023.

On December 28th, 2023, Shane brought us back to where it all began and popped the question!
