We met in July 2017 while playing on the same recreational soccer team. Mutual friends suggested we go on a date, and we thought "sure, why not?" Our first date consisted of many of our shared interests: nature, hiking, walking the dog, and eating. At the end of the date, Zachary went for the first kiss. We'll be honest, we've been a bit inseparable ever since. We moved in together in July 2018 to a cozy duplex with our dog Scout. Scout was excited to find out that he shared a yard with 3 other dogs, and two kind owners who live upstairs. While Meagan finished her MSW, working long days, Zachary provided unconditional emotional support and help in the household. In July 2019 (July seems to be a special month), we adopted a new puppy named Bruce. We have had a blast training him and laughing at his goofy antics. He fits right in with our crew. On December 31, 2019, as soon as we had toasted to the new year downtown with our friends and Zachary's sister, Zachary took the opportunity to propose outside of the restaurant. What a surreal moment and the best way to start 2020! We are so excited and grateful to start this next chapter.
