We have known each other since high school, but our story actually began after college. Life took us in different directions but had its own way of bringing us back together. It was during a time when Sam moved away that we reconnected and decided to give our

relationship a chance.

Our first dates were filled with long-distance travel; flying between California and Central Texas. It was during these long flights and short weekends that our relationship began to grow. A weekend of plans gone awry turned into exploring the Hill Country, where we

realized we were in love and that we wanted to be together. Determined to close the distance, Sam moved back to Texas, the two of us eventually landing in Austin.

The proposal was another adventure in itself. Our Christmas trip to New York was cancelled, but the engagement ring made the flight to The Big Apple and back without us (unknowingly to Zoe). Ring in-hand, we rebooked our plans and set off for Marfa, Texas, for a long weekend. It was at the McDonald Observatory, under a sky full of stars and in freezing temperatures, that Sam proposed.

We share a love for music, the outdoors, our dogs, and unique cuisine, but most of all, we cherish the time we spend together. As we look to the future, we are excited about growing our love, exploring the world, and savoring all the moments, big and small, that we will share.
