“There’s some people in life you always find your way back to..”

Josh and Samantha met in 2005 at a high school football game. Samantha was a junior and Josh was a senior. Sam was hanging out with some friends who knew Josh from high school parties, and he instantly invited them to the Friday night after party. They both hit it off from the start of the night and started to hang out after school and on weekends together. After a few weeks, at Homecoming, Josh asked Sam if she would be his girlfriend.

They dated for 5 years -- proms, homecomings, trips to Florida, Kansas City, and many fun summers together. They were each other's first love.

Like many first loves, things began to fizzle out, and they were both entering into different seasons of life and decided to end their relationship.

Josh and Samantha went their separate ways, the way God had intended and planned. Josh ended up creating a family of his own, and Sam moved to Chicago. An entire decade went by; they didn't speak or see each other. Sometimes we just need to grow into who we are meant to be. In 2020, the flame rekindled, and Sam moved back to Grand Rapids to try out the relationship and see if God was guiding her to where she needed to be.

Things to Do coming soon!
