They met when neither of them were looking for anything serious. They were working at Logansport Juvenile and Jake had asked Sam to go out with him a few different times thinking that she could be cool to hang out with. She wasn't keen on the idea, and always came up with a reason to say no, however after a few weeks of Jake consistently asking her, Sam finally agreed to go to the work Christmas party with him. Needless to say they had a great time and have been attached at the hip ever since. They started dating officially in February of 2018 and got engaged in October of 2018 to be married in February of 2020.❤
