Sam and Kristin's favorite thing to do together is hiking! We have so far hiked together in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. So many more to come!

September 12th, 2020 Kristin said "yes" at Ecker's Apple Orchard

Sam surprised Kristin with a family dinner at the Freight House right after their engagement. Kristin had to run and get her nails done first...of course.

In June of 2021 Sam and Kristin closed on their first house together in Holmen. Only after 8 other offers on 8 other houses!

Kristin took Sam back home in Summer of 2021 to meet her family and friends. Of course she took him to Willamette Vineyards to try the Oregon wine!

Kristin also took Sam up to Seattle where they explored Pike's Place Market, the Gum Wall, and introduced him to the best Clam chowder ever!

When at home we were able to sneak in some crabbing! Kristin showed Sam the ropes (with the help of her Mom and Dad) and he was a natural!

September of 2021 Sam and Kristin brought home their fur baby, Pepper!
