Our Second Anniversary

 

Zach and I  met in late summer of 2009 through a mutual friend of ours.  Our initial meeting was nice but there were definitely no sparks flying.  In fact, the first time we met we were hanging out with our friend who introduced us and Zach was so unenthralled he fell asleep on my living room chair!  To be fair though, the conversation was mostly our friend and I talking about old times and people he didn't know.  At that time neither one of us would have ever imagined that a year from then we would be just a couple weeks away from becoming husband and wife!

After that first initial meeting we only saw each other a couple times over the following months.  Even so, within those few times of seeing each other, we each began to develop a little bit of interest in the other.  We ended up having our first date in January of 2010 and spent the rest of that month intentionally getting to know each other to see if there was something there.  By February we both knew we wanted to pursue a relationship.  Well, it was all a whirlwind from there!  March found us completely in love and an engagement followed in April.  Our wedding day was a gorgeous early September day that same year and it was one of the best days of our lives.

Tomorrow, September 4, we will celebrate 2  years of marriage.  While still newlyweds in a lot of ways, our love and commitment to one another has only grown stronger.  These past two years has brought us a big move to a new state, our first experience as a married couple serving in full-time ministry, and the addition of a beautiful baby boy. 

I am so blessed to be on this life journey with my very best friend and can't wait to share many more years together!  Happy Anniversary babe!
