Zach and I met at when we were only ten and eleven years old at good ole Millry High School (go Wildcats). Our time together there didn’t last long -and was seemingly insignificant- but that’s what led us here today. Ten year old Hali used to sit on the playground and crush on little Zach, but I’ve always been convinced he didn’t even know who I was back then (ha)! I often joke with Zach about how we could’ve been together all these years if he’d just given me the time of day. Thankfully, it all worked out the way God intended it. We only spent two years at Millry together before Zach moved to South Choctaw, but that was enough. A few years later we friended each other on Facebook, but for a long time nothing came from it. Zach says he scrolled through my profile at some point in our later teenage years and was crushing on me, but apparently I wouldn’t give him the time of day (how the tables turn). Finally, in 2023, it all worked out and our timelines lined up. Zach reached out to me on December 26th, and by the 30th we were on our first date. We’ve been inseparable ever since, and I’m so thankful those two little ten and eleven year old kids found their way back to each other.
