Zack swears we met my freshman year of high school at a party. Of course, I can't remember the occasion but he does. A few years later, Zack sent me multiple messages on social media that went unanswered, and we eventually connected on a dating app. A few weeks later I gave in to our first date, and never looked back.

Zack and I took a risk and moved to West Virginia to pursue my dream career in broadcast journalism. It was truly scary and at first, I questioned if we made the right move. Then one night, we went out with friends to this fun bar that had an overlook of the West Virginia mountains. That view took my breath away, and I knew no matter what, we would be just fine. A year later, Zack brought me back to the same overlook, and dropped down on one knee. I'm so thankful for that spot, that day, and that Zack didn't drop the ring down the mountain side.
