 The Story of Us

We have been together since 2017 and got married in 2020.

We have no children and probably will never have biological children due to infertility.

Meet Matthew

Matthew finished high school and went right into the work force. He is currently a foreman at an asphalt maintenance company in the community. Some of Matthew’s favorite things are fishing, hunting, and spending time at his grandfather’s lake. When he is not out in nature, you can also find Matthew enjoying a football game or cooking something new.

Meet Amanda

Amanda finished high school and attended college. She has worked in healthcare and finance for most of her career. She enjoys spending her time gardening, attending theater shows, and camping. She also likes to use her creative mind taking photos and painting.

Our Free Time

We love spending our weekends with family and friends. You can find us camping, hiking and at the lake most of our summer days. Matthew’s mother owns a lake property along with Matthew’s Grandpa owning private lake land as well.

Our Home

We had a wonderful opportunity to purchase Matthew’s childhood home in 2020. Some of our favorite things about our home are the big backyard, large deck, and how close it is to a park. We also enjoy the golf course, local restaurants, and school programs in our community.
