Sam lived in Mankato and often came up to the cities to visit on the weekends. One of Sydney’s good friends was having a get together one weekend, and this friend turned out to be Sam’s childhood best friend! They introduced us, and the rest is history!! We dated, then became official November 29, 2013. That’s right…. This November will be 8 years together ! 🥰😍 In those 8 years, we have done 3 years of long distance- Arizona to Minnesota, got our first “fur baby” named Beau, and had a romantic Christmas Eve proposal in 2020! 💍
