Sam and Mike met on their co-ed dorm floor at Montana State University through a mutual group of friends. Thus starting their 8 year adventure!

First trip to Colorado- Family will say that Mike was introduced as a "friend". Sam says otherwise. Sam had to show Mike her favorite ski hill, A-Basin

First 'couple' picture as wee freshman

Sam and Mike took their love for adventure and ran with it- always searching for the best views.

Outdoor hobby #unknown- backpacking through Yellowstone. They've spent an unknown number of days in the woods together.

Sam taught Mike how to bowhunt. Now almost every fall is spent in the woods. Also a reason that the wedding is not in September.

Enjoying many trips to see the other half of family in Minnesota and teaching Sam the joy of "Lake Life". They're lucky enough to see Mike's family at least twice a year!

Continuously enjoying their endless backyard playground in Bozeman.

Another outdoor hobby = more equipment to store in the garage. Would be silly not to fly fish when surrounded by Blue Ribbon rivers.

Had to add in an Av's game when Sam's family still lived in Colorado, featuring the less superior team, the Wild. House stays divided.

Mike taught Sam a new hobby- Scuba Diving! They've been to Mexico and Hawaii for diving- definitely a necessity for the honeymoon trip .

College graduations! Sam graduated in 2018 for Wildlife Ecology and Mike had a Covid graduation in 2020 for Microbiology.

Sam worked in Colorado for 5 months (long distance?) Took a chance to road trip back to MT at the end and explore more national parks.

As if they don't share enough hobbies, they have a love for working out and like to be workout partners when Mike isn't out-lifting Sam by 300lbs.

Bobcats fans all the way! Sko Cats!

Mike taught Sam the joy of powersports!

Lots of hunts over the years- they're much more successful hunting deer than the *mythical* elk

Vacations have to include either Mountains or Beaches, no in-between.

A few trips to Hawaii through the years with Sam's family. Don't be surprised if they disappear to live as scuba instructors one day.

Can't count how many country concerts they have attended in their boots.

Surprise engagement on Sam's birthday.

Mike and Sam's family were there for the surprise!

Finally engaged!!
