Zack and I met at my neighbor Brian's house. As some of you know Brian's niece, Reanna was my best friend growing up. I hung out all the time with Reanna and as luck would have it, her uncle lived right next door to my parents. Zack had just starting coming around Reanna and Brian's family as a sort of new family friend. Brian looked after Zack and his brother Jake. On the day of August 10th, 2009 Reanna and I decided to mess with Zack's car. We wrapped his car in saran wrap, stuck maxi pads and Christmas bows all over it and wrote his nickname "Nancy" on the hood in baby powder. We thought we were funny and Zack did not. That was the first time Zack and I had ever met. :)
Zack and I were celebrating our 3 year anniversary together and also celebrating our last weekend before we became parents. We went downtown to Vito's Sicilian Restaurant on SLU campus. Later we went down to the St. Louis Arch to check out the new grounds they had been finishing up with. I was reading a plaque and looking out over the Mississippi River when i turned around to Zack down on one knee. I was so shocked and surprised i shouted "Are you kidding!?" He asked "Will you marry me?" I obviously said "yes"!
