I’ll let Sam tell it in his own words….

“We have a wild story!

Having grown up only 15 minutes away from each other in a small town in Michigan, we have never seen or heard of each other. Ironically, we both met the very first day of college orientation in 2011 two hours away from our hometown.

I know this sounds corny, but she really caught my eye! And as an 18-year old boy, let's just say that we have no clue what my intentions were when I first said hi. She probably knew, because she immediately shut me down.

To make a long story shorter, this prompted about a two year close friendship before distance extinguished that connection.

Having dropped out of college to join the Army, I was stationed all over the world. In 2018, I so happened to be in Korea and had orders to Savannah, Georgia. And guess what? She happened to be there for her Masters Degree. Such a God moment!

This time, she was putting the "flirt" on hard. Having learned my lesson the first time, I played hard to get. Well...that didn't last too long, and about a year and half after we reignited our connection, we tied the knot!”
