It all began in August of 2015..both Jen & Zach moved to Conway, AR to pursue their Master's Degree at UCA (Go Bears!). They exchanged friendly hellos at orientation and even went out with their class that night. Neither of them had expressed wanting anything more than classmates. Jen was appalled that Zach wore wrinkly shirts and Zach thought Jen was too studious! A year into their program, Jen's roommate & Zach were paired together as therapy partners, which lead to more interactions between Jen & Zach. They occasionally went out to watch hockey games & started hanging out more outside of class- a well-kept secret from their classmates (except Sydney, of course). Zach asked Jen on an "official date" to a brewery & baseball game in Little Rock, AR. That morning Jen had a stint in Urgent Care and seriously considered canceling their date. Against the advice of others, she went ahead with it and they enjoyed some delicious (root) beer & a great baseball game! The rest is history!
