Sam and Alyssa met during Alyssa’s senior year and Sam’s junior year of high school. Alyssa was going to Enterprise for her first semester of senior year where she met Sam. She decided to move back to Central Valley for her second semester. It wasn’t until after Alyssa made the switch back to CV that the two started dating. The first day they hung out was January 11, 2019. Sam asked Alyssa out shortly after their first time hanging out, on February 2. They found their first fur baby (Dixie) in September while they were hunting in French Gulch. The two saw each other every single day from that point forward. They moved into their own place on April 7, 2021. That same year Sam was hired on with an oil drilling company where he was gone for months at a time. The two pushed through those hard months and came out stronger than ever. Alyssa brought home their second fur baby (Bo) in January of 2022. In October of 2023 they bought their first house together and just a couple months later Sam proposed to Alyssa on December 2. He popped the question at the end of a photo shoot the couple were doing in their home. He was so nervous the only words he could get out were “Will ya?” The two are so excited for their future together and can’t wait to spend their special day with all of you!
