It was a Sunday like any other, at least that is what Shannon thought as she rolled over sleepy eyed and noticed Connor wide awake. Connor could not wait to get our Sunday pancakes started. He had a "new design" he wanted to try out with his new pancake design bottle, but Shannon could NOT assist as it was a surprise. Of course, Shannon was fine with that and decided to drink some coffee and chill on the couch. After about 20 minutes Connor announced that breakfast was ready. As Shannon collected her coffee and water glasses and headed to the dining table she noticed that Connor was not sitting in his regular chair, but rather down on one knee next to the table. Confused and shocked Shannon noticed the pancakes spelled out "Will you marry me?" and busted out laughing... This is not what Connor had in mind as he struggled to find the words. Finally Shannon caught her breath and asked if he was serious. He quickly replied "Yes" and with tears in her eyes she answered "Of course!". In a celebratory hug, we were quickly "greeted" by our pup Rio who felt she needed to join the moment. We spent the remainder of the day celebrating with friends and family near and afar.
