Logan, UT leaves much to be desired in terms of dating. So when Amanda moved there she quickly realized she was not going to be dating for the next five years. Near the end of the first semester of grad school she was relaying this somber assessment to another classmate, who took pity on her. Melanie decided to set her up with one of her husband's friends.

After passing the "coffee test" (Dec 2014), Dylan decided Amanda was sane enough to go hiking with. Amanda's life coach, Jasmine 🐶, tagged along to appraise her suitor. That cold trek to the Wind Caves would be the first of a lifetime of adventures, each one more fun than the last.

Despite the soul crushing demands of grad school, this partnership flourished. Together Amanda and Dylan learned how to snowboard and rock climb, took up backpacking and camping, and even visited 20+ national parks and went ice climbing on a glacier in Alaska. Dylan even learned how to cook more than Eggos and "Sriracha noodles".

It has been an exciting and wonderful ride. Successful relationships bring out the best in both partners, and when you find that person there is much to rejoice in. Thank you for celebrating our love with us!
