We first met during our Freshmen season of track & field at the University of Dubuque. We started as friends, but the more we got to know one another, the more we both knew there was something bigger there. We officially started dating at the beginning of our Junior year in August of 2015. The rest, as they say, is history. Amanda would tell you that she was the first to say "I love you" but that is still up for debate. Since graduating from college in 2017, we have moved three times and adopted two loveable dogs, Finley and Remington. After living in apartments for a few years after college, we bought our first home back in Dubuque in summer of 2020 where Remington and Finley now enjoy a big fenced in backyard. We are so thankful for all of the love and support we have received throughout our relationship, and we cannot wait to celebrate with you!
