We met online in April of 2022. Our first date consisted of Sam showing up looking like a homeless man and Erin looking like she was actually going on a date. Sam even considered trying to reschedule, but is so glad he didn’t. At the time Erin was working as an ICU RN at Carson Tahoe Hospital, and Sam was working as a Firefighter/Paramedic with East Fork Fire. We quickly realized we had a lot in common and a lot of the same friends. We spent the first twoish years of our relationship in Reno, NV, of course with our wonderful Black Labrador, Maverick by our side the whole time. We then took a leap and moved to Lincoln, CA to start a new life together. We both got new jobs, a new house, but had the same amount of love for each other. We got engaged in August of 2024 and are so excited to do this thing! And we can’t wait to see you all there!
