How We Met

October 2018

Justin and Sam met through a mutual friend (Noah) while we both were attending Wright State University. Justin was at his friend Noah's apartment (3C) to watch a new episode of South Park, Sam lived a floor below Noah and had just gotten home from Class when she put her pajamas on (unaware that a cute boy would be there) and went to hang out at Noah and Colin’s for the evening. Sam walked in the door ( announcing her arrival in a loud and crazy fashion), messy bun and all to see a stranger sitting on the couch in the far corner. They made eye contact and exchanged quiet hellos. Sam pulled Noah into the kitchen to ask "who the cute stranger in the corner" Noah barely finished his sentence before Sam blurted, "is he single"? Noah didn't know for sure if Justin was single or not but he said he would help her find out. A few other friends of Noah and Sam's came over and the group decided to Play Jackbox Party Games. During a drawing game Sam's word was the planet Uranus and she decided draw a Bum to describe the Planet so people had a chance to guess it correct. Which by chance just happened to grab Justin's attention to notice this new girl. Sam added Justin to the friend group chat and from there they added each other. Late that same night after most people had left Noah was texting Justin trying to convince him to message Sam. It only took a little convincing due to Justin's shy personality. Luckily the next night our friends had planned to go to a haunted house and we invited Justin and he said yes! They were each others buddy while going through the house and we didn’t let go of each others hands, he made Sam feel so safe. A few days later they went on a real first date with just the two of them to Steak and Shake, they have been inseparable ever since, and the rest is History. 💕

Oakley Grace Barker

Justin and Sam share a beautiful daughter named Oakley Grace. She was born on January 19th 2020. She was one of the best surprises to have ever happened to them both and they couldn’t be happier that she will be there to celebrate her mommy and dada’s offical union❣️
