A little about us...

My name is Ryan and my wife's name is Amanda. We are just two people with a lot in common that fell in love. Just so happens that one of those commonalities is Cystic Fibrosis (CF). We are breaking all the rules with being together, but love knows no boundaries.

Amanda and I met a few years ago at a CF walk kick-off event. Who knew our path's would cross again.

I was going through a rough time in January 2012, and a friend of ours mentioned to Amanda that I might need someone to talk to. Being the caring person she was, she contacted me to talk. We had an instant connection. She had previously gone through what I was going through, and was there to lend an ear. We started talking more frequently and feelings started developing. When we saw each other, there was a feeling that we had never felt before, almost like in the movies, love at "first" sight. Our friendship was stronger than ever and with feelings developing stronger and stronger every day, we decided that we had to make a hard decision. Being that we both had CF we had to decide where this relationship was going, did we want to take it to the next level, or was it going to end at just being friends. After a little time we both decided we were ready to take it to the next level. There was no turning back. We were in love, and took our last first kiss.

Redbox Relax Day


Well it’s Sunday evening. The weekend home went by fast. Saturday was spent doing stuff around the house and babysitting Jude Bug. This morning woke up to do IVs and treatments at 9. Amanda went and picked us up some breakfast tacos and redbox movies so we could have a relaxing day. Then she filled the crockpot with roast, potatoes, and carrots to cook for the day. We watched 21 Jump Street first, it was pretty funny. Then Amanda’s dad aka Buddly came over with Taj to bring me the cheese curdz he picked up in Wisconsin and kept cold all the way back to Texas for me. We sat visited with them for a while, then they left to go eat lunch. We picked a couple snacks out to come start our second movie Safe House with Denzel Washington. 5 o’clock came around and it was time to start my next round of IVs. After I hooked up, back in bed I went. After finishing the movie Amanda went to check in the kitchen to check on the pot roast, ITS DONE! She took the meat, potatoes, and carrots out to make gravy out of the juices, opened the fridge to her surprise of no milk! Luckily our neighbor Nichole was home and let us have some so we could finish making our dinner. Now I’m laying in bed waiting for dinner to be ready. Even though it was a day of rest, I am still pretty tired. My eyes are heavy and I have a slight headache. Hopefully I will feel better in the morning.
