We&nbsp;reconnected&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;Spring&nbsp;of&nbsp;2024&nbsp;when&nbsp;Sam&nbsp;moved&nbsp;in&nbsp;with&nbsp;his&nbsp;brother&nbsp;and&nbsp;sister-in-law,&nbsp;Marissa's&nbsp;friends.&nbsp;What&nbsp;started&nbsp;as&nbsp;friendly&nbsp;late&nbsp;night&nbsp;chats&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;couch,&nbsp;quickly&nbsp;changed&nbsp;to&nbsp;subtly&nbsp;flirting&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;aisles&nbsp;of&nbsp;Ikea&nbsp;and&nbsp;secret&nbsp;kisses&nbsp;shared&nbsp;around&nbsp;the&nbsp;apartment.&nbsp;Sam&nbsp;"having"&nbsp;to&nbsp;ask&nbsp;for&nbsp;Marissa's&nbsp;number&nbsp;to&nbsp;confirm&nbsp;dog&nbsp;watching&nbsp;also&nbsp;turned&nbsp;into&nbsp;our&nbsp;first&nbsp;date.&nbsp;To&nbsp;finally&nbsp;the&nbsp;moment&nbsp;we&nbsp;realized&nbsp;there&nbsp;was&nbsp;no&nbsp;one&nbsp;else.&nbsp;And&nbsp;that&nbsp;beautiful&nbsp;sunny&nbsp;day&nbsp;having&nbsp;a&nbsp;car&nbsp;picnic&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;Sonic&nbsp;parking&nbsp;lot,&nbsp;when&nbsp;we&nbsp;said&nbsp;"I&nbsp;love&nbsp;you"&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;first&nbsp;time. I&nbsp;think&nbsp;rather&nbsp;than&nbsp;it&nbsp;being&nbsp;love&nbsp;at&nbsp;first&nbsp;sight,&nbsp;it&nbsp;was&nbsp;a&nbsp;feeling&nbsp;of&nbsp;home&nbsp;from&nbsp;the&nbsp;very&nbsp;beginning.&nbsp;A&nbsp;feeling&nbsp;of&nbsp;connection&nbsp;and&nbsp;friendship&nbsp;and&nbsp;rightness.&nbsp;And&nbsp;knowing&nbsp;that&nbsp;God&nbsp;had&nbsp;his&nbsp;hands&nbsp;in&nbsp;every&nbsp;part&nbsp;of&nbsp;our&nbsp;stories.&nbsp;We&nbsp;love&nbsp;each&nbsp;other&nbsp;in&nbsp;every&nbsp;sense&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;word&nbsp;soulmate.&nbsp;We&nbsp;know,&nbsp;it's&nbsp;cheesy,&nbsp;but&nbsp;it's&nbsp;true!&nbsp;There&nbsp;isn't&nbsp;another&nbsp;person&nbsp;in&nbsp;this&nbsp;universe&nbsp;either&nbsp;of&nbsp;us&nbsp;could&nbsp;picture&nbsp;spending&nbsp;the&nbsp;rest&nbsp;of&nbsp;our&nbsp;time&nbsp;with.&nbsp;We're&nbsp;goofy&nbsp;and&nbsp;nerdy,&nbsp;full&nbsp;of&nbsp;laughter&nbsp;and&nbsp;movie&nbsp;quotes,&nbsp;we have&nbsp;so&nbsp;much&nbsp;love&nbsp;for&nbsp;each&nbsp;other.&nbsp;And we're incredibly ready for our next adventure!
