We had the prototypical 21st century start. #ThankYouBumble. We went on our first date at Patio 850, one of the best "foodie" spots in Lakeland. Unknown to Taylor; Shelby had a back up plan... to run off to teach in Costa Rica. She left for 25 days which allowed plenty of time for us to get to know one another #ThankYouTechnology. Upon her return they began the process of spending more time together and the rest is history! Nearly 3 years worth of memories later, we have welcomed our precious Christopher, graduated from college, started our dream careers, and purchased our first home! In March of 2020, (the weekend before the pandemic really began around here) Taylor proposed at one of the most beautiful lakes in Lakeland! We cannot wait to begin this next chapter in our lives.
