Jul 19, 2014 8:08pm Hi there! I'm Sam. How are you doing this evening? I saw you just moved back here from another state. I moved back here about a year ago. Where did you move from? Jul 19, 2014 9:04pm Hi Sam! I'm Mike. I moved back after visiting several states. I was in New Jersey, Texas, and Hawaii. Most recent was Arkansas. I missed PA while I was gone so decided to move back. Where did you move back from? Jul 19, 2014 10:08pm Massachusetts! Which is really my home state but I came down here for college.... Like most millennials, we met through online dating. After passing messages back and forth for a few weeks, we decided to meet in person. Needless to say, sparks did not fly. Samantha was working a new job and concerned with other things and Michael was about to leave a work trip to Germany for a few weeks. We went on a few dates and let things fizzle out. Fast forward to October 2014. Samantha went to recruit at Michael's Penn State campus. Nerves buzzing, she remembered the cute boy she had dated briefly this summer went to school here and wondered if she would run into him. He walked in the door and the rest is history.

As an early Christmas present, we had bought tickets for Michael's parents to go see Josh Groban in concert. They came down to stay with us in our apartment and sight see in DC. Michael waited until everyone was dressed up and waiting to leave in the living room. Then he asked Samantha a very important question - would she not go as his girlfriend but as his fiancee? He got down on one knee and asked her to marry him. She thankfully said Yes! Michael's parents kindly took pictures!
