It’s not the usual love story. It wasn’t love at first sight. It wasn’t a whirlwind romance. It was a blossoming, slow and steady, and it gets more beautiful every day.

Samantha was a hairstylist at the salon I would go to get my hair done. At first, it was nothing, but I felt myself drawn to go up there more often and eventually struck up conversations. It took months for me to add her on Facebook and I remember the the first message I ever sent her. Immediately it went from a every so often conversation to all day, every day. We just connected, became best friends.. then eventually more.

We started dating and eventually we got our first house December 2018, where Sam, our son Wade, and I made it a home and Wade helped me propose to his mom. Then in February 2020, we were able to get another house and start making the life we both always wanted.

Now here we are, planning our wedding and our happily ever after.
