Innana’s Story

Innana spent her childhood in California where her family moved when she was 3. She would spend every summer with her grandmother and cousins taking trips cross country together in a big red van named Clifford. When it was time to go to college she moved back to Minnesota where she followed her dream of becoming an educator. In her free time she loves to paint, embroider, and participate in community theater.

Sam’s Story

Sam grew up in Faribault, Minnesota and has always loved his community. At 10, he became involved in community theatre and immediately felt at home. He began making local history documentaries at the age of 14, which led to his current career as a public television producer. In his free time, Sam has served his community on City commissions and the Rice County Historical Society Board of Directors.

Our Relationship

Innana and Sam met in—where else?— community theatre. They instantly bonded over their love of The Dark Crystal and other puppetry-fantasy-storytelling topics. They were friends in theatre for four years before going on their first date. Pretty quickly, it was clear they were well matched to be life partners. It was easy to fall in love.

Innana and Sam moved in together in the autumn of 2023, blending their home of 3 cats (Butternut, Honeysuckle Augustus, Peaches N’Cream) and 1 bearded dragon (Cornelia.)
