Conner and Amanda, as many already know, went to Fishkill Elementary School together. We were in the same 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade class! If you ask Amanda, she will show you her yearbook, specifically from 2nd grade, where she crossed out everyone's pictures but put a BIG heart around Conner Simmons with the scribble "LOVE" across his spiked hair. Clearly, our love did not stop there! Fast forward 19 or so years, Conner would see Amanda at Golds Gym in Fishkill. He texted as many Fishkill Frogs as he could to find out why Amanda Verdon was in town. Turns out, she had moved home to live with her Mom and Tim, and then planned a trip to Europe for the summer (womp..). Conner knew he had to make a lasting impression, which he clearly did! Amanda ended up coming home a month early, eagerly, to spend more time with the not so little Conner from Fishkill Elementary School. Everything fell into place going forward. Amanda and Roo took an awesome job in Cornwall, moved in with Conner and then eventually La Playa Simmons with Jen, Glenn, and Tayler! We knew nothing could get between us if we could survive a pandemic, multiple moves, close quarters, and the up’s and downs of the housing market. Now with a home of our own, Conner knew just the right spot to propose. Amanda could not imagine a more perfect place than on their newly decorated front porch! Now let's get us married! Woo!!
