What started our relationship was a simple "hey" sent by Colton to Amanda on Facebook one night after her volleyball game. From then on, we found out that we had a lot of similar interests & our personalities suited one another perfectly. There was an undeniable chemistry right from the start & we started dating when Colton was 16 years old & Amanda, 15. Amanda didn't even have her drivers license yet so Colton would drive her to her job at a local greenhouse after school! February 10, 2012 is the official day that we started dating & who knew that day back in high school would be the start of the rest of our lives! We have made it through long distance, college, career changes & ultimately growing up together. We adopted our "dog-son" Milo in 2015 who is a little weirdo, so he fits perfectly into our little family. Through the years we have been on multiple adventures that have created lifelong memories. Colton proposed to Amanda on April Fools Day 2020 on a walk at Fonferek Falls, while the world was shut down from the pandemic. What a story we will have to tell our kids someday! We are so fortunate to have such supportive friends & family that have stuck by our side for the past 9 years. From starting out as just small-town kids, to looking at where we are now, we believe that our souls were truly made for one another. Our engagement has been a long time coming & we are ecstatic to officially tie the knot!
