Amber and Blake’s love story begins back in 2009 in a little building tucked behind Planet fitness in Ocean Springs, MS. This building was a dance studio as well as a boxing studio. Amber danced competitively while Blake boxed competitively but their paths didn’t cross quite yet as God’s timing is always right. While Amber was attending college at Valdosta State University, her mom went to eat at Shaggys with a friend and their server was none other than the charming Blake Ross. They sat in his section for hours and talked with him about everything under the moon and by the time they were leaving Ambers mother said, “I wish my daughters could meet someone like you.” Finally, Amber moved back to the gulf coast and on July 27, 2021, her and a friend went to eat at Shaggy’s in Biloxi. Their server was also Blake. Amber got a twinkle in her eye for him but he paid no attention to her attempts to flirt. She ended up getting a job at Shaggy’s and the next year of working together Amber and Blake went from strangers to friends. July of 2022, Blake decided he was ready to go in for their first kiss. He told Amber, “I forgot what Michelob Ultra tastes like” because that is what Amber was drinking at the time, and they shared their first kiss. August 19, 2022 Blake asked Amber to be his girlfriend in Jacksonville at the Cheesecake Factory. Three months later, the day after Thanksgiving (during the Florida vs. FSU game) they found out they were pregnant with Kohen. July 14, 2023 they welcomed their sweet baby boy and their hearts were filled with even more love. The following Thanksgiving Blake asked Amber to marry him and she answered, “yes!” as tears filled her eyes.
