The theme of Ashley & Sam's relationship has always been divine timing. Sam grew up in MA, but after college moved to Colorado and then to Florida. His time in Florida wasn't what he had hoped for and moved back to MA in October 2022. Sam and Ashley matched on Hinge right around Thanksgiving 2022 and quickly had their first date on November 30th, 2022.

Sam and Percy had partially moved in with Ashley and Jodie in early 2023 to start their little family of four. In August 2023, they moved in with Sam's mom, Kelly, for a short while to save up a house. Things went south quite fast for Percy when he was diagnosed with Stage IV lymphoma for a second time, but they did everything to give him more time with the help of Tuft's Oncology team. Percy was officially back in remission after 3 chemo treatments and Sam and Ashley had found their perfect first house at the end of 2023 to go out on a high note.

January 2024 couldn't come soon enough to move into the new house, and we were so excited that Percy was able to make it to this step in our lives! We settled into our old, but beautifully renovated farmhouse in Brookfield and added some new creatures to the family.

We now have 16 trouble-making hens and a mischievous rabbit, Charlie.

In May 2024, we got the unfortunate news that Percy's cancer was back for the third time of which we were expecting. We were told we would have most likely 2 months with him, but he is defying the vet's estimate. On that 2 month anniversary, Sam knew that this was the day he would pop the question with the help of Percy.
