We met in February of 2021 in Los Angeles, where Sam was born and raised. Natalie was doing a travel contract there when one day, a travel nurse she knew invited her to hang out with some fellow healthcare workers. One of the healthcare workers invited their friend who just so happened to be Sam! At the time of Covid, restaurants were not allowed to seat more than 6 people at one table and Sam was the 7th person. Thankfully, the waitress didn't mind and it was clearly meant to be! Even though Sam wasn't thrilled that Natalie is a packers fan (him being a cowboys fan), Sam still asked Natalie on a date and they were hooked ever since!
