We met in November 2016 while working at Punch Pizza in Vadnais Heights, MN. Sam was working full time and Katie was finishing up her last year of college, so we were just co workers for a while. We started to work more and more shifts together and became friends as we would chat during work go out with co-workers for drinks and bowling. Eventually we admitted we had feelings for each other and started dating in March 2018. Since then we've: - Moved into an apartment together in NE Minneapolis - Adopted our two cats Maximus and Calvin. - Taken Trips to San Francisco, San Diego and Lake Tahoe - Had new jobs and new work locations - Bought a car - Moved into a new place The past few years together have flown by and through it all we've continued to grow in our relationship and plan for marriage. Sam proposed on October 16, 2023 at Gooseberry Falls State Park and we couldn't be more excited to start the rest of our lives!!!
