Here's how they met...
"Sam and I met in college my freshmen year at Tennessee State University. We both had a Psychology course together but we never spoke in that class. I remember the first time I saw him, he had on his fraternity shirt, coming in class late, and I thought to myself, "he must be one of those crazy frat boys who dates everyone and think he can roll in class whenever he wants like he is a big shot". I was SO wrong from my first initial judgment of him.

After seeing him around campus more and more we eventually became Facebook friends and eventually exchanged numbers. I really wasn't into him at first, but Sam has a determination to show you who he really is, and he did just that. He was consistent, honest, sweet, and loving. It was just what I needed in my life at the time. After sharing our first kiss at Centennial Park, the rest is history! We have had a long journey and our share of struggles and triumphs but there is no one I would rather share the rest of my life with than him! He makes me better and we work so well together. We have shared a long distance relationship due to his military career and my college career, but it has taught us patience, understanding, and most importantly UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!!!"

We cannot wait until August 4, 2012!! It is the beginning of our wonderful lives together and we are glad to have such wonderful support around us!!"
Here's how it happened...

"Sam planned a spontaneous Skydiving Trip in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We had a wonderful time there from eating at a Brazilian restaurant to shopping and getting spoiled in the mall, I was really enjoying sightseeing around the city. We then drove out to Skydive New Mexico for our Tandem Jump together. The day of the jump I was SO nervous, well we both were. I remember telling Sam, "I'm jumping out of a plane for you?! What else do you want from me?!" He just told me in his kind voice, "Baby, this will be a weekend you will never forget, trust me!"
I put my trust in him and it definitely paid off! After jumping out of the plane and coming back to El Paso, Texas in one piece, I was excited to announce my engagement! Yes, Sam had asked me to marry him and after me screaming, I said YES!! I then called all my loved ones to share the news, of course after first calling and telling my mother! I was so excited. It seemed unreal!"

Kaila and Samuel, we wish you the very best.  Enjoy many happy years together!
