The story of us started back in December, 2017. Our paths may have even crossed before then since we both went to the University of Arizona and had the same mutual friends. However, our first official meet cute all started at Stag Bar in Newport Beach circa winter break 2017. I can hardly say it was a meet cute as I was not entirely convinced of this new man named Sam, but he was fully confident he could change my mind, and although it took several years...boy did he.

Over the next three years we built a friendship, until the Summer of Covid 2020. In a time where I was just simply trying to get through each day, Sam became a light for me, full of positivity and a whole lot of energy (which I still don’t understand how he has so much of). He slowly became more and more prominent in my life during this time. But it all really started with a gathering of friends at his place, and from there our relationship began to change from just flirty friends to something much greater.

Our relationship continued to grow over the next few years with major milestones and transitions that have brought us to where we are today. From the first I love you's, meeting each other's families, becoming roommates, to getting engaged in Greece this past September, and everything in between. While I could go on and bore you with all the details, the simple thing it always came down to is it was never a question of whether Sam and I would end up together once we fell in love. That we have always known for sure, and it's been the powerhouse that drives us. It made Sam and Lynsie an "us"... it made us an "our" and it made everything at the end of the day easier in knowing just that. We have built a life together, explored places we've never been and have created a foundation to forge our forever.
