It all began at UWSP in 2014. We were both freshman living in Burroughs Hall. Haleigh was living on the fourth floor, while Sam was living on the third floor. For the first semester we did not know each other. Then, Sam decided to get Haleigh's attention on Facebook. Haleigh responded with friendly conversations but was not interested at first. Sam persisted and continued to pursue Haleigh. After numerous chats on Facebook Sam ventured to the fourth floor and finally met Haleigh in person, capturing her attention. From there we became best friends. We realized we had much in common! We have a love for baseball/softball, outdoor activities, attending sporting events, and spending time with family and friends. Best of all, both sets of our parents had also met at UWSP.......It was meant to be! Throughout the rest of college our relationship continued to build. We helped each other learn, grow and succeed. After much time and effort we both graduated college and were ready to move forward. We had the opportunity to travel together out west, down south and to Nashville. We both got jobs and moved to places that are very close to each other. We started a tradition of taking at least one camping trip each summer to Wisconsin State Parks. So far we have crossed off four of them! After nearly six years of dating Sam decided to ask Haleigh to spend the rest of her life with him. We have a special bond and love for each other that is so strong. We are both so excited to see what the future holds!
