We met the old-fashioned way, at a local tractor pull, through friends. Shauna at the time was too young to be dating so they had talked on and off for a few years. As time went on and Shauna got older, we reconnected. Allen met my dad in order to take me out on our first date, and we have been inseparable since. Allen proposed to me in our home, we were remodeling our porch and I was sanding the wall; I turned around and Allen was on one knee. My reaction was priceless, the first words that came out of my mouth were "I can't wait for you to do this for real" well sure enough, it was.
