High school sweethearts <3 I knew that Sam was going to be the one. I always knew. I met Sam when I was a sophomore, and Sam a junior. We started off friends, and by the time I was a senior he asked me to be his girlfriend just after I asked him to be my date to the senior prom. I brought him to "The Point", an amazing overlook of Sioux Falls (April 9th, 2014). It has become one of my favorite spots. On the day of our engagement Sam made a video while at "The Point" where he shared how happy and excited he was for this day. October 4th- I've never felt more loved. -Kiya October 4th we closed on our home. Little did Ky know, I had much bigger plans scheduled for the day. After closing, we drove towards home to start moving things into our new to us house. I suggested we take a walk through Mckennan park and take in the fall colors before undertaking the stressful task of moving. Upon arrival, there was a perfect picnic complete with macaroons, sweets and of course champagne. I knew for a long time that Kiya was the one and I had to make sure she would never forget October 4th. After a few minutes and some words that I don't believe came out coherently.. She said yes! Ky and I met in high school and the rest is history. We've been through so much in the last 7 years and I am forever happy and grateful that we have each other. I couldn't imagine going through life's phases without my best friend! - Samuel
