Samuel & Claire started dating in August of 2024. Our first date was at Nelson Park in Abilene where we walked with Sam’s dog Sage and got to know each other. A few weeks later, we went to the Mill with some friends and got this sweet picture.

We went to the fair in September and on the way, Sam asked if I would be his girlfriend!

We both attended HSU and got to go to Homecoming together!

Since we started dating, we’ve pretty much been inseparable. We’ve gotten to do a lot of cool things like Winter Lightfest!

Sam proposed on December 21st at a campfire cookout we had planned for our closest friends. It was the most special day!

We can’t wait for the rest of our lives together!
