SPOTLIGHT<br />
Amanda<br />
WYRICK<br />
Why did you make Madison your home?<br />
When my husband and I graduated college,<br />
we decided we wanted to live in Madison due<br />
largely to the ambience of the community.<br />
Driving through town, I have always felt safe<br />
with the strong presence of law enforcement.<br />
The streets are always clean and public areas<br />
are well maintained. I love the way the city takes<br />
the time to decorate for holidays. Madison is<br />
an excellent place to have a family with its<br />
strong school systems.<br />
How long have you lived in Madison County?<br />
13 years<br />
Tell us about your family.<br />
I’m married to Brandon Wyrick from Laurel.<br />
We have been together since college. We have a<br />
Yorkie named Belle that loves to go on walks.<br />
We are expecting our first child later this year.<br />
He will be the first grandchild on my side and<br />
number nine on my husband’s.<br />
What is your favorite memory of living in<br />
Madison?<br />
I always love the Festival of Trees. We enjoy<br />
decorating our tree each year and watching<br />
the Christmas movie.<br />
Where are your three favorite places to eat in<br />
Madison?<br />
Local 463, Strawberry Café, Half Shell Oyster<br />
House.<br />
What are some fun things to do in Madison<br />
County on the weekends?<br />
Brunch at the Gathering, cooking school at<br />
Livingston, shopping at Rennaisance or the<br />
shops on Main Street, or a movie at Malco’s<br />
IMAX.<br />
Share some things you enjoy doing in your<br />
spare time.<br />
Reading, spin classes, brunch with friends,<br />
traveling.<br />
What are three things on your bucket list?<br />
I love to travel. Top three trips on bucket list are<br />
Italy, Alaskan cruise, and Maldives.<br />
Where do you see yourself in ten years?<br />
Working at Community Bank and living in<br />
Madison with my family.<br />
What is your favorite childhood memory?<br />
Family trips. Each summer we used to take a<br />
trip to a theme park or the mountains.<br />
If you could give us one encouraging quote,<br />
what would it be?<br />
There’s nothing wrong with being afraid. It’s not<br />
the absence of fear, it’s overcoming it. Sometimes<br />
you’ve got to blast through and have faith. -<br />
