We met through Mountain View Christian Academy. When I was a senior in high school, Sam's younger brothers transferred to Mountain View from Shenandoah Valley. Sam had already graduated high school, but I would see him fairly often at sports events. Our first date was in May 2016 at Buffalo Wild Wings and Pack's ice cream. While we were eating our ice cream we sat in my car and talked for hours. After a few more dates, I knew he was the one.
