I had already started this blog a few months ago, but I didn't really know what I was doing. I still don't know how to do everything on here but I decided to start fresh and start at the beginning!



The Beginning:

Jeremy and I met in an English class at ISU, I came in late (what a surprise) and sat down in front of him. It was already a few weeks into the semester and this was the third class I transferred into due to conflicts with scheduling and classes being cancelled. As they say third times a charm, and I couldn't have picked a better class to add! At that time we both thought our lives were headed in totally different directions, little did we know... the best was yet to come! Yay!

After a couple of weeks, and only a handful of words exchanged during class (mostly hi's) Jer was walking behind me out on the quad and yelled "Hey Amanda!" He got right to the point and asked me out. That was that! I didn't know anything about him (honestly, I didn't even know his name.... sorry lovie) and now I can't imagine being without him. It's crazy to think about how much both of our lives changed after we met.


Our first dates were so much fun and so memorable, I loved it! On our very first official date Jer was bound and determined to take me to Lava and to this cute little pizza parlor. But the weather was dead set against us going out! It was the worst snow storm, ever. The winds were so strong, and the roads were so slick. It took us a long long time to get there, especially since we couldn't see where we were going! When we finally made it the pools were closed down due to the storm. So we went to get some pizza. We had just ordered our drinks and boom, the power goes out! Pitch black. It makes me laugh when I think about it, could things have gotten any worse!?! Then the waitress comes around and lights all of these little candles on the tables and all around the room. It was so great! The power was out the rest of the night, so we had a candle lit dinner and it was the very best! (By the way we did get to eat because the oven didn't need electricity to run and it was still working.)

I love thinking about when we first met. There were so many fun times, it was all wonderful. I am so lucky to have Jeremy in my life! I LOVE HIM!
