In November of 2017, it was my (abby’s) freshman year of high school, and zach was a junior. i remember one sunday morning i was at a friend’s house, and i got a notification that “Zachariah Powell” had snapchatted me!! my heart started racing because he was so much older than me (really only two years haha!) . i was so nervous to open it, but when i did it was a picture of my mom and him and it said, “are you an atheist? why aren’t you at church!?” I laughed out loud and nervously tried to come up with a witty response. At church the following weeks, I was so nervous to potentially see him, so I would run to the car as soon as service was over. That never stopped him from chasing me out there. every. single. time. since those first few moments, he has never stopped pursuing me and making me laugh! we were friends for a couple months he told me he loved me in late January we made it official on February 2, 2018 & he told me he was going to marry me two weeks after that (which was extremely bold of him, but hey, he was right)!! he is my biggest joy in life, and we are beyond thankful to have finally reached this season!!
