The Happy Couple
How They Met
Samantha and Adam met in December of 2005 when Adam came up to visit his friends Shawn and Tim at CU-Boulder. Samantha lived next door to Shawn and Tim in the dorms and was immediately taken with Adam the first time they met; she also really liked his shoes and to this day will not let him get rid of them : ). Adam was also immediately drawn to Samantha and told another friend "I like the blonde one."
Samantha and Adam started hanging out in a group. One of their first outings was to ESPN Zone, and then Samantha convinced Adam to stay in Boulder afterward. They stayed up talking until about 6 in the morning and they both knew there was something there. Over Christmas break, Samantha and Adam were texting and Samantha invited Adam to a movie. He accepted and they went to Highlands Ranch AMC and saw the worst movie ever, Derailed. After the movie Adam and Samantha went their separate ways. Samantha though, decided to text Adam while sitting at the stop light to turn onto Broadway from the theater and told him "so I really like you, I don't know what you're thinking, but I thought I would let you know." Adam called Samantha back and said he liked her too. They met at the Kohl's parking lot to talk and have been inseparable since!
The Proposal
After 5 years of dating and Samantha dropping some not-very-subtle hints, Adam finally proposed on Christmas morning at 12:30am. After a long day on Christmas Eve of family get togethers, we came home and did our own gift exchange. Well, Adam gave me a Nook Color which I was so excited about and could not stop playing with. Adam asked to go lie down a couple hours later and I agreed and finally put down my Nook. Adam was being really sweet and telling me how much he loves me and how much I mean to him. He then reached around and held my hand and tried to put the ring on my finger. Well, I completely freaked out asking what the heck is that and trying feverishly to get my hand out from the covers. When I finally freed my hand I saw the most beautiful one carat princess cut center stone diamond ring with little diamonds down the side. I immediately started crying and could not stop saying "oh my god!". I turned around to look at Adam and he simply said "I love you so much, Samantha will you marry me?" I continued freaking out, crying, saying "oh my god", and hugging him that I forgot to respond for a few minutes, but of course I said yes! We are so excited to start planning our dream destination wedding!

Our Fur-Baby Bella
This is Bella, our terrier chihuahua mix puppy. We got her when we had
been dating for only about a year. She is 5 now and we couldn't imagine
not having her as part of our family!
