We both grew up in Grinnell, Iowa and dated for a while during high school. Flash forward a few years and we reconnected in the fall of '15. We decided to meet for a drink one night, and we haven't looked back since!

We were on a trip with Sam's family in Estes Park, Colorado for a fun New Year's getaway. We spent New Year's Eve hiking and sight-seeing during the day, and came back that evening to hang out and watch the ball drop at the cabin. Once the count down reached one, Sam got down on one knee and asked Lindsey to marry him! After Lindsey turned around, she realized that Sam had planned to have her parents on face-time, and they had been able to watch the whole thing! How great is it that both of our families got to be a part of that special night!?
