The Bride
The boring stuff:

Amanda Raeanne Heinsch was born on December 22, 1983,
in Rochelle, Illinios.
She is the oldest of 4 children and has lived in four states, four Chicago suburbs,
two countries (if you count the six week apartment stay in Turkey), and
multiple in-betweens. Thankfully, since graduating she's only moved thrice.
She is an '06 grad of Taylor University Fort Wayne
in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Her degree was in Professional Writing, and no that doesn't mean
she wrote this herself (although it's very likely).
Since graduating, she has worked as a waitress, an Admissions Counselor,
a freelance writer, a freelance slogan maker (is there such a thing?),
a kind-of-but-not-really newspaper editor, and, most recently,
a market researcher and social media expert (in the making).
Still, she insists that she didn't spend $100,000 chasing a hobby and yes she will one day finish that book.

Now, the fun stuff:
Amanda loves to travel. Here she is in Colorado:

Here she is in Chicago (her favorite):

And here she is in Boston. Sorry, no photoshop'ed picture here.
Just her and Paul Revere. (Thankfully, Amanda has lost some weight since June).

Unfortunately, she did not release the right to publish the photo of her climbing
out of a sarcophagus while visiting the ruins on Mount Olympos in Turkey.

Nor did she release the photo of her performance as "Greed"
in a stellar mission trip production in Moscow.

Amanda also loves coffee, music, culture and friends.
She has only owned foreign cars. She only reads fiction.
And if she had a superpower, it would be telekinesis.
That way she could float herself and her bed to work every morning.
