Ashley and Zack met in 2011 during their junior year of high school. Their mutual friends invited them to a high school basketball game, which unknowingly was a setup. That night sparked Ashley and Zack's story. The next 1.5 years were filled with as many adventures as a high school schedule would allow. At the end of senior year, Zack was off to Washington University in St. Louis and Ashley was headed to Indiana University-Bloomington. They decided to adapt to college without each other. This seemed like the end of the story, but every break they made sure to grab lunch and catch up. It was apparent that their adventure wasn't over... When they met again for their Thanksgiving catch up sophomore year of college it was time to either go for it or really move on. They decided to go for it! Zack and Ashley began their "reboot", as they call it, in November 2014. After surviving long distance in college, they moved to the Chicago suburbs for a year, then relocated to California for 2.5 years, followed by a move to Northwest Arkansas where they will get married in June 2022.
