About 4 years ago Mackenzie started working at KPMG and little did she know that she would meet many people from Albany, OR (a place she barely knew existed). After many friend group outings with her KPMG friends and their mutual friends, she met Payton. Fast forward about a year after Payton and Mackenzie met and only hung out in large group settings, Payton asked Mackenzie out while out at a bar one night. Mackenzie was surprised to find out that Payton was interested in her and to even more of her surprise she said yes right away. For a little color, Mackenzie was nervous to get into a relationship and Payton being the kind hearted and loving person he is scared Mackenzie away after about a week because he tried to bring her back a present from a trip he went on. About two weeks after Mackenzie took a step back she realized she made a big mistake and that this boy was just truly so nice and made her smile non stop. Mackenzie slid right back in through a Happy Birthday text to Payton. After a little more than a year of dating, we moved into an apartment downtown Portland together and within just 2 months of living together, Mackenzie found a house (fixer upper) in Lake Oswego where we now live with our two fur babies, Bo and Cash. Our life is full of house projects, yardwork, and puppy cuddles!
