He moved from Florida to Wisconsin for us, became the role model my boys deserved, and is still my favorite person to come home to.
We would like to thank you for supporting Shawn & Emily in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
What started as a friendship grew into something neither of us expected. After months of talking, I flew to Florida to see him. During that trip, he asked me to be his girlfriend, and our first official date was at an incredible seafood restaurant in St. Johns. Not long after, he made the decision to move from Florida to Wisconsin. Since then, we’ve built a life together centered on family, trust, laughter, and showing up for each other every day.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?My favorite memory isn’t a single moment. It’s watching him become the man my boys needed. When he moved from Florida to Wisconsin, he didn’t just commit to me, he committed to my family. Seeing the relationship he has built with my sons and the life we’ve created together means more than any vacation, celebration, or special event. Those everyday moments are the memories I treasure most.
What would you do with $20,000?We would use the money to invest in our future together. Part would go toward projects around our home and part would be set aside for experiences with our family. We value creating memories, spending quality time together, and building a strong foundation for the years ahead. The greatest reward wouldn’t be the money itself, it would be the opportunity to continue building a life we love.
