we're so excited to celebrate with you!

In the 8th grade, I moved schools to Indian Lake, OH. One of my first ever classes there was wood shop class, where I met my current best friend Emali Sroufe. Emali's guy friend at the time Cody King; was friends with Zach, soo we all sat at the same lunch table that year. It wasn't until freshman year of High School, that Zach and I started to talk more seriously. Especially, since we sat next to each other in a lot of classes. He finally got my number one day when we went our usual separate ways in the bus lot. A couple months of getting to know each other; Zach asked me to be his girlfriend on a Valentine's day in history class! So, here we are 9 years later, still loving every minute of life together with our two cats; Milo and Kora!

The early months of August 2019, Zach and I booked a trip to stay at a cabin in Georgia near the Appalachian Mountains. I thought it was a birthday/relaxation trip. Zach's birthday was the 7th, so I thought it would be a good time to get away for a couple days. On the 6th, we had a great and long day of hiking. That night he proposed intimately with the only audience being a black bear outside our window!
