Shane: Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast where life always comes before work.  We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. We're a real family who figured out how to make our entire living online.  And now, we help other families do the same.  Are you ready to flip your life?  Alright.  Let's get started. What's up, guys?  Welcome back to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast.  Super excited to be back with you again today as Jocelyn and I continue our story about our entrepreneurial journey so that we can inspire you and show you what is possible, kind of what happened to us, this whirlwind ride that led to where we are today with the Flipped Lifestyle as compared to our old 9-to-5 jobs. In our last episode, we talked about how we got married, how we ended up finally getting married, then we got engaged.  It was a really, really whirlwind process because I was coaching football.  I just got a job at West Virginia as a graduate assistant.  Jocelyn was living in Lexington, Kentucky.  I was moving to Morgantown, and I basically called Jocelyn one day and we had a nice logical discussion about if we should get married or not. Jocelyn: Of course we did. Shane: Of course we did. Jocelyn: Because that's how I roll. Shane: I like to tell Jocelyn I was on one knee on the other end of the phone, she just couldn't see it at the time. Jocelyn: Yeah right. Shane: That is totally not true.  We were just seriously having a good conversation. We decided that it would be a good idea that we should get married on July 3.  What year did we get married? Jocelyn: 2004. Shane: 2004.  Okay, that was a total man thing.  Not even remembering the year.  I do remember the date.
