Little did Rob know that hiring Sam at LensCrafters back in 2010 would be the start of his greatest adventure... Sam and Rob met back in 2010, when he hired her to work at his optical office. The two created a friendship beyond work through mutual love of good food, good music, and being good at flirting. After eight years of frustrating but flirty banter back and forth (and always finding reasons to get to see each other), the couple decided it was time to kick the relationship into gear, and fell in love (even though Rob tried to play hard to get for about two weeks). One fine day in Charleston, South Carolina, the couple stumbled into an antique jewelry consignment shop and decided all signs pointed to spending the rest of their lives together when they found the most beautiful ring, and it fit perfectly... just like Sam and Rob :) The couple has enjoyed spending time in their new home with their three fur babies- Reese (the terror puppy), Stella (the tiny, grumpy one), and Siggy (kAt, king of the castle). When they aren't snuggling in bed with the animals or enjoying a beer on the back patio, the couple enjoys travelling together and kicking each other's ass at the NYT Wordle and Connections puzzles of the day.
