Spencer and Amanda first began "talking" in April 2022. They met up for beer and UFC (how romantic) on May 8th. They spent the summer getting to know each other and growing closer. Spencer met Amanda's family in May and Amanda met his family in June. It was clear to both families that this was a very special relationship. After several trips back and forth between Clarinda and Maryville, they decided to purchase a home together in Clarinda. Spencer popped the question on November 11, 2023 and the rest is history!
