Sam and I met in High School. I knew of Sam in Middle School, but we did not actually meet face to face until my freshman year of High School. This is embarrassing to admit, but before Sam even knew of me.. my password on my iPod touch was Sam S. I have had a crush on him since I was 14 years old. In High School we both played basketball, so that is how we ended up meeting. I would look forward to seeing him in the hallways along with during anything basketball related. We started dating the summer before my sophomore year of High School which was the summer before Sam's Junior year of High School. He asked me to be his girlfriend on my 16th birthday. Here we are 8+ years later!
Sam proposed to me on the Fourth of July, 10 days after our 7 year anniversary. It was right after a fireworks show that we were at up north. He asked to take a picture with me, for the first time EVER. I thought it was a little strange. As my sister was taking photos of us, he got down on one knee and proposed. I did not see it coming!
