A Little About “The Sams”

Hello! 

I’m Samantha, and my fiancé’s name is Sam. Our friends refer to us as “The Sams” and we’re just a couple of 90s kids buying a house and planning a wedding. 

Our super awesome dog is named Skipper (hashtag #SkipperGuy on Instagram) and he’s a Welsh Terrier and just had his 14th birthday. 

I got the idea of starting this blog when I read a Buzzfeed post “82 Things That Every Couple Thinks When House Hunting For The First Time” (read here: http://tinyurl.com/zdh7kyp ) and it did not ring true of our 10 month long experience. 

I’ve also read several articles about Millennials not buying homes, so I wanted to introduce a somewhat rare look into what it’s like as a Millennial who is also a homeowner. We’re finally closing on our house tomorrow, and I am chomping at the bit to get to work! 

I’ll be posting what our home buying experience was like, and what our home ownership experience is really like. We’ll be posting our DIY projects and don’t be surprised if there’s some wedding-related posts as well. We’re 6 months away from our wedding, and I am super excited about it! 

Happy (house) hunting! May the odds be ever in your favor!

-Samantha
