Sam and Bridget met in August 2019 at the University of South Carolina. They hit it off immediately and quickly grew close. After a few months of being friends they made their relationship official. Sam wouldn’t leave Bridget alone and Bridget realized that Sam checked every box on her list. Sam and Bridget spent the first couple years together having fun in college. They walked with each though the pandemic, apartment floods, (many) car breakdowns, training a puppy, and the ups and downs of broke college kids. After graduating in 2022, Bridget moved to Philadelphia and the year of long distance began. Through the uncertainty of being hundreds of miles away they kept up with countless FaceTimes, flights, and roadtrips between South Carolina and Philadelphia. In that year they decided they never want to be apart again and dreamed of their next chapter being adventuring together. By jobs aligning and random selection they landed on Utah. They have loved living in Utah and exploring the western side of the country. Together, they love to roadtrip, hike, run, try new restaurants, and obsess over their fur baby Paisley. They have made it through Sam teaching Bridget to snowboard and golf so they can make it through anything, right? They plan on spending the next couple years in Utah as Bridget finishes her doctorate of nursing practice at the University of Utah. They’ve grown a lot together over the last 6 years and can’t wait to celebrate entering this next chapter with you.
