In October 2021, Amanda, alongside her amazing neighbors, planned an Octoberfest party. Tyler, one of the neighbors very persistently tried to get his friend Josh to come to the party but Josh stubbornly declined the invite. Tyler knew Josh was in need of a night out, so he drove over to Josh's house and forced him to get into the car! Josh had no choice but to comply! Once at the party, Josh introduced himself to Amanda. Conversation was easy and they both had each other laughing throughout the night. Numbers were exchanged and the conversations continued beyond the night of the party. 
Josh and Amanda were both very focused on their kids and for both of them, it was nice to meet someone going through similar life circumstances. Both Josh and Amanda had been through similar trials that had created an immediate bond. Neither one of them had planned to ever meet anyone, but even more shocking, this chance meeting had quickly developed into something amazing! Thanking God for His perfect plans! Josh and Amanda are blessed for the family they've created and most of all to be able to share it with one another.
