Amanda worked for the recruiting office for the Massachuetts Air National Guard, Ryan worked for Konica Minolta.  Amanda needed some upgrades to her machine at the office and Ryan was the representative in the area.  She called and called and called, and he wouldn't ever call her back.  Being the persistant person she is, she called his supervisor and other team members until he FINALLY called back.  He ended up getting her exactly she what she needed even if it took a few months.  Needing a good laugh, we decided to meet for drinks back on October 22, 2009, and ended up having a really great time.  We people watched in the Burger King parking lot, and had so much fun we decided to do it again the next night.  We've been together ever since! 

Above is our first picture together on Christmas in Vermont, where we went on a brewery tour and stayed in a cute little bed and breakfast (without the breakfast!).

Our parents lived in Florida and in May 2010 we came down to visit on vacation.  On the way home we decided moving to Florida was something we wanted to do.  We've been here since July 2010 and have been loving life ever since.  We brought Guinness, our Jack Russell into our lives in November 2010 and Rocco, our crazy Lab Mix, and they are a huge part of our family.
