Amanda decided to visit her best friend Alli at UMASS one weekend during college. Alli had been formulating a plan for some time to set Amanda and Sam up and thought this would be a perfect time. They hung out the whole weekend until it was time for Amanda to return to SUNY Geneseo. Amanda thought this would be the last time she saw Sam, but little did she know, Sam had a job lined up in New York after graduation. Upon Sam moving to New York, he reached out to Amanda to go on their first date to the high line, and this was the start to their forever.
