We have known each other for quite some time and both attended the same church growing up. I particularly remember a blonde-haired boy (Ryan) who sat in the corner pew with his family. We did not grow up in the same neighborhood or have the same group of friends, but our families always knew each other. Fast forwarding years later to our adult years, Ryan started coming around the "baden crew" once his family built a home in Baden. We crossed paths again at the weekly corn hole tournaments our friends hosted in the summer and then a few weeks later at a friends graduation party. We had some sparks that summer, Samantha went back to college, and we both went our separate ways for a few years. About 4 years after Samantha graduated college, we both crossed paths once again. We rekindled that flame we once had years ago and here we are today! I guess you could say, "Good things come to those who wait". Our love story will always hold a special place in our hearts!
