Circa 2011, at the University of Central Florida, we met in an off-campus apartment of mutual friends. Ryan charmed Amanda with his goofy humor, and then they bonded over mutual music interests. After a few months, Amanda finally made the first move and asked Ryan if he liked her. They started secretly dating until someone in the friend group saw them on a froyo date together. The cat was out of the bag! The rest of their early dates were at Universal Studios, where they created great memories.

It's hard to choose just one, and it's hard to choose one without our two daughters. A recent favorite memory was our family adventure in Seattle. Riding the light rail and enjoying each other's company. We saw Cherry Blossoms at the Quad at the University of Washington. We enjoyed a beautiful sunny day, walked around the campus, had lunch at Dough Zone, and walked around UVillage, where we got refreshing ice cream from Molly Moons. We love getting out into the world and exploring it together.

We might be a little boring and use a bit of it to pay off debt. But, we'd love to use it to have our first real family vacation to somewhere we've never been before. A new state or country with a lot of nature and outdoor activities. We'd also carve out some money and time for us to have a couple adventure without the kids too. We still need to take our Hawaii honeymoon that we postponed after getting married in 2018 because of a big move across the country, then a pandemic, then babies.
