It's happening!

We were set up by a mutual friend. Ashli introduced us for the first time at a Seattle Sounders soccer game. Jared and I were friends for nearly a year before we started dating, but Ashli's matchmaking skills eventually paid off in 2013!

Jared popped the question during a family photoshoot in Wilbraham, MA. He and our friend Lauren planned everything and pulled off the epic NYE surprise!

July 30, 2013 - Our first official date! We took a scenic drive around Alki then ended with street vendor Seattle dogs in downtown Seattle. May 15, 2015 - We signed our first lease together. It was a one bedroom apartment in North Seattle where we made dinners, watched Seahawks games, and evicted bed bugs together. July 7, 2017 - We moved from Seattle, WA to Springfield, MA so Jared could pursue a career in football coaching at Springfield College (his alma mater). July 15, 2017 - We purchased our first home! March 15, 2018 - Jett Jamari Livingston was born in Springfield, MA. We've been chasing after him ever since. May 30, 2019 - We moved to upstate New York, to the small town of Hamilton, where Jared currently coaches at Colgate University. April 2, 2020 - Jaxton Rainier Livingston was born in Syracuse, NY. He was by far the best part of 2020. June 15, 2021 - We moved 6 miles south to Earlville, NY where we live in a farmhouse and have cows for neighbors. August 23, 2021 - Amanda started her most exciting job yet as an Account Director at a marketing agency based in the U.K. She's working on her British accent.
