Zach and I have actually known each other for a few years as we both attend the same life group through Beltway Park. I always saw Zach as quiet, kind, and devoted to the Lord. Zach always saw me (in his words) as "the beautiful girl way out of his league with a heart for others." We only shared a few conversations together and Zach was always excited to sit next to me on the rare occasion at life group. In the fall of 2019 we started hanging out together in groups as just friends and then on February 10th 2020 he asked me on our first date. We went to The Local in downtown Abilene and ate tacos and drank margaritas. That next weekend we went skydiving together with friends and then the last weekend in February we went on a ski trip with some close friends. It was either the mountain air or the fact that he was a pro on the snowboard, but I fell for him that weekend and we haven't looked back since!
