John and Amanda met in college. They were both part of Greek life on campus at ISU. John's fraternity was attending a philanthropic event Amanda's sorority was hosting. This allowed them to become friends. The official spark that started it all was during Homecoming October 2012. John being the gentleman that he is, offered a helping hand multiple times over the weekend. This blossomed into him inviting her over to watch episodes of an old school British television show- Dr. Who. Amanda quickly moved in - as John lived closer to campus. But they would often go visit Amanda's apartment because the laundry was included and to spend time with her roommate. Year after year Amanda became just another roommate with all of the guys until both of us graduated. We have had the ability to learn and grow through the many challenges and adventures that life has thrown at us. From moving into our first non school apartment together, to getting new jobs and being laid off. Being able to explore new cities and states to finally moving out of IL to TX and then to finally buy our first home in AZ. We can't wait to see what crazy things that life throws at us next. Here's to the past 10 years, and to many more.
