We met in the hallways of our high school. We started dating when I turned 16 and Zach was a senior in high school. Ever since we began talking, we knew what we had was something special. We endured a few years of a long distance relationship and came out stronger because of it! Eight years later and we're engaged to be married!
On Super Bowl Sunday, we were headed to Des Moines to get ready for Zach's first day at his new job. Zach called me a few days before and told me that we had to do a favor for one of his dad's golfers. She was just beginning her photography business and needed new pictures to put onto her website. Super Bowl Sunday was one of the coldest days we've had for a long time and we were outside at Mosquito Park taking pictures with our dog Nala. Our photographer told me to turn my back to Zach and turn around and look at him once she told me to. As I turned around, Zach was down on one knee and I said, "Yes!" We are so excited to celebrate this next chapter of our lives with you.
