Our journey began August of 2021, courtesy of the good old fashioned internet! At that time, Sam resided in Minneapolis, and Mike was in Lacrosse. Somehow, the algorithm worked its magic, bringing us together. While our initial date wasn't the smoothest (literally, the boat ran out of gas in the middle of Lake Minnetonka), there was a mutual sense that this was something special. Following numerous road trips between Minneapolis and Lacrosse, Sam made the move to Packer-land and we welcomed our dog, Franklin, into the mix. We fell in love with the life we were building together. The rest, as they say, is history!
