Samarra and Phillip met on the East Side of Milwaukee in April 2020, not too long after a global pandemic was announced. Like many couples these days, they met via Tinder- when the world was full of uncertainty and fear. On their first date they ate buffalo chicken wings, per Samarra's request. Buffalo wings is probably one of those foods that you should only eat in front of someone whom you are very comfortable with, haha. It was love at first bite! By December 2020, they were living together on Bartlett Avenue and had adopted one cat they named Anubis. A year and some change later, they had moved from the upper duplex off Bartlett, to a tiny 2-bed home off Thomas Avenue, where they had acquired an additional cat named Cloud and a golden retriever named Holly (A small zoo!) June 7th, 2023, Phillip and Samarra officially secured their first starter home, located in West Bend, Wisconsin. Phillip proposed to Samarra on December 24th, 2023! Present day, they have been together for 4 1/2 years, and in September 2025 they will get married and look forward to starting their non-fur family in 2026! Cheers!!
