We met at a young adult's event (shout out to Quo Vadis!) down in the Bosque by the Rio Grande, and thought it would be a while before we saw each other again, as Zac went to college at Texas Tech and I (Rachel) went to the University of Dallas. However, we would run into each other back in Albuquerque during breaks from school! When Covid hit in early 2020, we both moved back to Albuquerque to finish school online and begin working earlier than anticipated. We reconnected when I began working at Project Defending Life and Zac started volunteering there as well! After three "get-to-know-you lunches," we finally went on our first date in July of 2020 and after many more fun dates, hikes, road trips, Masses, hockey games, and movies we are getting married!
