Pretty sure this was the first photo ever taken of us together... circa 2014 before we were dating! A group of friends came to visit Shannon in Miami for Spring Break.
For two years, we did long distance from Miami to Clemson. All the FaceTime calls and visits paid off though - look at us now!
Despite the distance, we were still able to be there for all the important milestones: Conner's graduation from Clemson in 2015!
Next up was Shannon's graduation in 2016 from The U!
We decided we didn't want to be apart any longer, so in the fall of 2017 Conner joined Shannon in Southwest Florida.
First Christmas together on Sanibel!
The past 7 years have been filled with lots of love, laughter, good food, and adventures together - a recipe for any solid relationship.
Headed to swim with whale sharks offshore near Isla Mujeres!
Grand Stand at the Miami Open
The one... and probably only time... that Shannon got Conner to dress up with her on Halloween. A bird and her admirer.
First time we got the whole family in one photo! Lola, our sassy lab, is five years young. Nestled in Shannon's hand is their leopard gecko, Pico de Gecko.
Our 5th anniversary circa January 2020 - we ate charcuterie and drank champagne on the beach at sunset.
