Our Proposal Story

I am so excited to finally be able to share the details of one of the most magical days of my life with you!  The holidays and the first few months of 2017 have been quite a whirlwind, sorry for the delay!

I knew something was happening on the morning of December 11th, because Johnny was so emotional.  He told me he had a surprise planned for me, and ended up taking me to get a massage.  That was the last time I saw him until he was proposing that night.  When I walked out of my massage, two of my friends who now live in Wisconsin, were there to pick me up!  I was shocked!  We spent the day together eating brunch, getting my hair done, manis and pedis, and love notes from Johnny at each place we went.

His brother, who lives in Missouri, surprised me at a couple of locations too with a rose and a bottle of wine.  When my friends brought me home, I had a note waiting telling me to get dressed in my new sparkly gold dress!  I quickly got dressed and waited for what was going to happen next.  There was a knock at the door and my parents were there to pick me up in a limo.  After a short ride, I realized we were pulling up to Doak Campbell Stadium (Go Noles!).  We all got out of the limo and my parents walked me to the edge of the football field.  There were rose petals in the shape of a heart at the 50 yard line!

I walked out to the middle of the field and the jumbotron started playing “The Big Proposal” video.  Johnny talked to some very important people in our lives trying to come up with an idea for a really big proposal (this included family, but also legendary Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden and Mickey Mouse!).  Once the video ended, Johnny walked out to meet me and, as we were both crying, got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.


Even after all that, he wasn’t finished yet!  The jumbotron started to play another video with friends and family members celebrating and dancing to one of my favorite songs followed by an incredible fireworks display.

Once it was over, we turned to walk back and that was when I realized so many of our friends had been watching the whole time up in the Champion’s Club.  







We went upstairs to join them to celebrate the rest of the night!  Tons of food, a chocolate fountain, a string quartet from the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra…the list goes on.  I could never have imagined such an incredible and special night!


You can watch the full proposal video here ——–> https://youtu.be/8CjQ8Kyjk7M





We went to Disney World the following weekend to celebrate our new engagement at one of our favorite places.
Now the wedding planning begins!  
xoxo, Shannon

Holiday Bucket List!

This is my favorite time of the year!  I put together a small bucket list to check off during this holiday season.  I can’t wait to share these moments with all you as the month goes along.

Just outside of Tallahassee, there is a Christmas Tree Farm in Havana, Florida.  There are rows and rows of trees and it’s so pretty!  I knew I wanted my friend Kate to take some pictures for us out there and they turned out fabulous!  I was really excited for the first chance to wear my blanket scarf...even though it was HOT when we took the pictures.  If you are in the area and want a live tree, I definitely suggest the drive out to Havana.  They also have a great gift shop and large light up pieces for your yard.  (You can get the Kissing Krystal here)
I would LOVE to hear what items are on your Holiday Bucket List!  Please share them in the comments below.  I love hearing about new traditions and fun adventures!
xoxo Shannon

I’m currently using Vanilla Milkshake and it’s perfect for making a Candy Cane protein shake - just add some peppermint extract, peppermint syrup, or crushed peppermint. Add some Christmas sprinkles to make it extra festive! 

Discount code will end at midnight on Cyber Monday 11/27.

It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving is just around It’s hard to believe Thanksgiving is just around the corner! I’ve partnered with NotMilk™ by @notcous to make some of our favorite Thanksgiving side dishes dairy-free, like this green bean casserole with a homemade sauce! You can purchase NotMilk™ at Whole Foods staring this month nationwide. It looks like milk, tastes like milk, froths like milk, and cooks like milk...but it’s made from plants. NotMilk™ is created by NotCo, a global food-tech company now launching in the US. I need to know - what side dish are you most looking forward to eating during your Thanksgiving meal?!
