If you’d told me that a trip to Florida to visit my best friend Amanda, would end with me meeting my future husband, I would’ve laughed, cackled even. I was there for some good ol' sunshine, not a lifelong commitment! ...But, as it turns out, life had other plans. While I was there, Amanda introduced me to her then-fiancé’s brother, Shane. He was sweet, funny, and had a quiet charm about him (don’t tell him I said that). We spent the day talking, laughing, and realizing how easy it was to be around each other. Fast-forward 11 years, and we’ve built a relationship I'm truly proud of. I'm so thankful I took that trip to Florida all those years ago. It's a reminder that sometimes, the best things really do happen when you least expect them.
