How We Met

In the summer of 2008, Amelie arrived to Austin, TX as a contract traveler in physical therapy. Her first assignment was working in Austin where she met Jennifer Micyk, a speech therapist. Jennifer, knowing Amelie didn't know a soul in the Austin area, invited her to a summer camping trip in Concan, TX which Brandon took every year with his friends.

Jennifer hinted around that she had a single friend  she wanted Amelie to meet. Hesitant about going and with no interest in meeting anyone, she agreed figuring it would be a new experience nevertheless

Amelie entered the trip, all ready in progress late that Friday night, met an intoxicated group of old friends catching up and talking about old times. The next day however, the group loaded up for a 6-hour float down the Frio River. This is where Amelie and Brandon first shared time together as they spent the whole float talking. This continued after dinner, and till early in the next morning as they lay outside under the stars while the conversations still going strong. The next morning, Amelie went back to Corpus Christi, where her current contract assignment was, and Brandon headed back to Fort Worth. Six months later, Amelie's agency offered her a position in Dallas, TX. Both were looking forward to seeing each other as they had been keeping in touch via texting and Facebook (of course).

They started dating early in her Dallas assignment. After Amelie's contract ended the two traveled to the East Coast for a road trip that included three states and Canada. They had a blast and when they arrived back to Texas they decided to move to the Austin area where they have been ever since.
