We ended up on the same tiny beach alongside the Dunedin Causeway bridge. Hayden saw a blonde girl running the beach, failing to inflate a balloon hammock without wind. She declined his help, so he watched run around a little longer for a good laugh. As she ran back again, he asked again if she’d like help yet. She proudly showed him that the hammock was ready, so they sat together and talked until the sun went down.

Hayden and Shannon celebrated her graduation and Christmas with a Carribean cruise. Hayden proposed on the top deck of the ship on December 9th, 2024. Cheered on by family and strangers, then surprised with flowers & a toast at sunset. Incredible memories of Puerto Rico, Barbados, Martinique, St Maarten, and St Lucia decorate the breathtaking memory with waterfalls, volcanos, caves, and beaches.
