Zach and I met roughly 4 years ago. I had just started my job at Kroger and he was one of the first people I saw when I walked in for my first day. I thought he was exceptionally cute, kind of reminded of Ezra Fitz from Pretty Little Liars. I remember pointing him out to one of my friends one day saying, "See, that's him! That's the Ezra look-alike!" He noticed me, too, kind of. We passed each other several times in the store and he even helped me fill up a mop bucket one time, but he swears he doesn't remember that. (I'm surprised I remember that, to be honest!) I never did think much of it though, I just thought he was a cute guy who I'd never had a chance with. I prayed one night though that if it was something that was meant to be, God would work it out, in His time. I ended up leaving Kroger just a few months later and Zach and I didn't see each other again, except the few times he popped into Dollar General after I started working there. Fast forward to last March. I had been praying, once again, for my future husband. I prayed that whoever he was, that I would be prepared to be his wife. That I would be content in my loneliness until it was time for my husband to come along. Just a few hours later in the middle of the night, I got a friend request on facebook. The very next day after accepting it Zach and I started talking... and we've been talking ever since. We found ourselves growing closer and closer every day, even though he was thousands of miles away at times. Despite the distance and the hardship of being apart, we fell in love. Three months after we had made it official, Zach told me he wanted to marry me and I knew that he was the one I wanted to spend the rest of forever with. I've waited my entire life for this, for you; I love you and am so happy I get to spend the rest of my life with you.
