K
ari and Gary Sammons were friends for seven years before they began dating. They met at Anderson University
in Indiana, but went their separate ways soon after. Gary
moved away to law school. Kari received her MBA, taught English
in Madagascar, and backpacked around Europe. Years later, they
found themselves once again in the same city and decided to attend
Anderson’s homecoming football game together. This time their
friendship felt different, and they both recognized the chemistry
developing between them. Gary asked Kari out again on New Year’s
Eve, and they haven’t looked back since.
When Kari was pregnant with their first daughter, Madelyn, she began seeking out
natural remedies and replacements for chemicals in their home. Kari said, “The realization hit me that I now had another life that I was completely responsible for.
