What once was considered to be an uncommon way to date, quickly became the most popular and preferred, and we jumped right on that wagon (thanks Bumble!). Sam loves to joke that I almost missed out on matching with him due to my slow response times, but thankfully we connected and started talking right away. We would talk for hours and be up way past our work week bedtimes, but finally one day we met up for brunch (my favorite), and then by the end of our second date we were official.

I thought I was planning and preparing for Sam's 35th birthday, as well as a house warming party to celebrate our first house together, but unknown to me, Sam had told everyone that he was going to propose. We had a house full of our family and closest friends, Sam stopped the music to thank everyone for coming to our home to celebrate us, and got down on one knee right then and there. Of course I said YES! And now we cannot wait to celebrate with you all!
