This is Us
We met in 2013 at a birthday party for a mutual friend. After a brief introduction, I went home and “stalked” Brendon on Facebook. After looking through his profile and thinking he was the cutest guy I had ever seen, I quickly added him as a friend. A week later he sent me a message and asked me on a date. The rest is history! We dated for two and a half years before we got engaged. Brendon surprised me by having our entire family waiting for us at dinner after he proposed and then surprised me again after dinner by having an engagement party with all of our friends waiting to celebrate. Brendon always goes above and beyond to make me feel special and he pulled out all of the stops for our engagement. We were married on February 6, 2016 in Dallas, Texas. Our wedding was the most memorable day of our lives. We celebrated our love for each other surrounded by all of the love of our family and friends. It was truly unforgettable! Since our big day, we have been through some highs and lows, but through it all, we have become stronger. We live each day together as a team and as best friends. We work to encourage one another daily, we respect and value each other’s opinions, and we do and we do a lot of laughing which helps to make our days bright!
About Amanda written by Brendon:
Amanda is the sweetest, most caring person, the best mommy to Harrison, and at the same time, undeniably tough as nails. She is nurturing and loving with all people in her life. Family always comes first, no matter the situation. She’s a very hard worker and great at balancing many different tasks – whether it’s playing with Harrison, counseling students every day, trying a new recipe in the kitchen, or planning a get-together with friends or family. One of the many things I love about Amanda is her sense of humor. It is the best! She has an infectious laugh that can be heard for miles. Her good sense of humor, loving personality, and trustworthiness are qualities I know she’ll pass along to our child. She is a wonderful mother and will welcome another child with unconditional love.
About Brendon written by Amanda:
Brendon is the most incredible man I know! He is my rock, my strength when I am weak, my listening ear, my encourager, but most of all the love of my life. To say that Brendon is my favorite person would be an understatement. He is the best dad in the world to our sweet Harrison, hard working in all that he does, dedicated to his family, and strong in his faith. He loves with his whole heart, would give the shirt off his back for anyone in need, and has never met a stranger. He makes me want to be a better person! I love watching his face light up when he comes home to Harrison at the end of his work days. Harrison adores him! He is so much fun, always ready to play, gives the greatest hugs, and most important, he loves a good cuddle. It has been the blessing of a lifetime to watch him be a daddy to our son. I cannot wait to watch him become the best dad for a second time to one lucky child!
