We want to start off by saying that yes, this is our story but more importantly this is God's story & a glimpse of his faithfulness in our lives. Anyway, we met at Bethlehem Baptist Church’s Jr. High summer camp at Camp Shetek back in 2016. Brandon was playing football with some friends & Amanda was convinced by a friend to go & play football at the same time. Love at first sight? nope! We didn’t really like each other at first, Brandon thought Amanda was annoying & Amanda didn’t really give a second thought to Brandon other than a little “oh, he’s maybe kinda a little bit cute.” We didn’t see much of each other that summer but come fall 2016, the school year starts & Amanda walks into her first class on her first day at a new school & who should she see but Brandon sitting at the table across the room. Love at second sight? nope! We spent that school year focusing on our classes, making new friends, sports, & that's about it. Over the next year, Amanda's feelings for Brandon began to grow. Spending long nights in deep conversations with girlfriends, surrendering her prayers to the Lord & seeking a deeper relationship with Brandon. While Brandon on the other hand was trying his hardest to avoid any feelings towards Amanda. After many months, Brandon finally realized that he did indeed have feelings & allowed himself to admit them to a close friend. Not too long after, we spent many long hours in conversation, often up late talking on the phone & getting to know each other. After realizing we wanted to date each other, we decided to wait until after we both graduated high school so that we could focus on our academics & our relationships with others & the Lord. So after 1.5 years of waiting to date, 2.5 years of dating, which was the greatest adventure & challenge thus far, Brandon proposed to Amanda at Centenial Lakes in Edina, MN, & of course, she said yes to the man of her dreams. & now, together we are planning for the best adventure Christ has gifted to us!
