In 2015, Shannon and Josh met at Crossfit Fayetteville. Shannon was the stubborn aspiring athlete and Josh was the coach always in a tank top that took the time to help athletes progress. Eventually, they realized that their friendship could be so much more. Not to mention they both had cats named from The Lion King...fate. Shannon moved to Charlotte, North Carolina in 2016 which left the couple to navigate the difficult waters of long distance. In 2017, Josh decided to take his chances on Shannon's cooking skills by joining her in Charlotte. The couple spent 3 years in NC building a life together. They adopted the 4-legged love of their life, Zoey. They spent time pursuing their passions. Mountains were hiked. Beers were drank. Josh learned how to "properly" load a dishwasher and Shannon learned that there is always a basketball game on TV. This year, Shannon and Josh were able to move back to their hometown in Arkansas to pursue a life closer to family. However, Josh didn't want to leave Charlotte without asking Shannon to be his bride for the rest of his life. Back in Fayetteville, the engaged couple is settling in and enjoying being around fellow Razorback fans.
