Hi everyone, and welcome to our new blog- loving you is eAZy!
About a week ago, while Zach was away celebrating the holidays with his family, he texted me “let’s start a couples blog”. At first, I thought he was joking. I had never really been into reading blogs or following bloggers online, but recently had started following some new fashion bloggers in hopes of winning 1 of about 50 random holiday giveaways I had entered (Surprise! I didn’t win anything). When I asked if he was serious he replied “I mean why not, after everything you’ve shown me, I believe we could do it, plus you’re prettier anyway.” As always, leave it to Zach to be my biggest cheerleader. I figured he would forget or sweep it under the rug but since then, he’s reminded me daily to get the blog going, so here we are!!
How we met:
In our first post, I’d like to talk a little bit about us, how we met and where we are now. A little over two years ago, in early November of 2015, Zach and I met at our undergrad university, Kent State (go flashes!!). We always joked that we were kind of doomed from the start by the looks of our first date. I was nervous about going out with a guy I didn’t know, so I told him I would pick him up for our date. We proceeded to go to Quaker Steak and Lube in the basement of the KSU student center where I paid for our dinner with my meal plan (what a charming date, huh?). As odd as our first date was, we clicked from the start. After that night, I’ve spent everyday with him since, and as of November 26, 2017, I get to spend forever with him!! Aside from our first date, Zach has been a prince charming ever since. From planning awesome nights out, my surprise 21st birthday, and a fairy-tale proposal, I knew he was the one from the start.
Where we are now:
In the incredible two years Zach and I have spent together, we’ve grown together, learned together and experienced some amazing life events hand in hand. Since meeting in 2015, Zach has graduated from Kent State with a degree in Poli Sci and got a job working for the Department of Defense in the Defense Logistics Agency as a contract specialist (this is just fancy government language for a buying negotiator for the military as a civilian). Zach has also been in the military for 8 years, and served a tour in Afghanistan. He is now in the National Guard where he reenlisted for 6 more years. I am so thankful for my hardworking man both as a soldier and civilian. Since we met, I also graduated from Kent State with a degree in Economics, and have begun continuing my education to become a future corporate attorney at Capital Law School in Columbus, Ohio (just trying to be the next Elle Woods, ya know?). Exactly a month ago today, Zach popped the question in the most perfect way, and as you can see- I SAID YES!! I’ll save that story for another post.
In 2+ years, Zach has been my prince charming, my best friend, and my biggest supporter. We are so excited to continue to share our love, our story and our adventures with random posts along the way.
Thanks for reading,
A & Z
