It began with Katie leading Sam and his Mom on a tour of Southwestern University. We reconnected at a science open house later that Fall. Katie (a junior) was intrigued by the bold freshman. Sam was impressed by the beautiful researcher. A fast connection was formed over our mutual love for nature, adventure, and food. We have cherished our love and grown together since December 2013, and can't wait to celebrate with our family and friends in December 2022!!
