In 2020, we met by swiping right on each other on Tinder.
We had texted for a while and went on our first date on December 26th, 2020.
Some persistent phone calls on New Years Eve led to two months of nightly calls. Which is when we decided we wanted to see each other in person again. In Febraury of 2021, Zach flew Sara out to Washington State for a second date! This is where things became official and where we first said "I love you".
In our first year together we went on a lot of adventures. We drove A LOT to see each other. We spent time in Superior, Stevens Point, Rio, Missouri, Wilmot, and Milwaukee. For our six month anniversary and Zach's birthday, we went to Alaska. Sara went skiing for the first time with Zach's family for a family Christmas trip. We spent our One Year Anniversary in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
We spent a lot of our second year experiencing life together. We went to concerts, played some golf, spent time with both of our families, and traveled to see each other even more.
The summer of 2022 Sara moved in with Zach's parents and started her clinical rotation in Madison. Zach spent a lot of time driving back to Wisconsin, wherever he was for work, to spend as much time as possible with Sara.
In April of 2023 Zach bought his first house. Zach and Sara moved in together.
We had a lot of firsts this year! Some included our first rodeo together, first PGA tournament, and first time out of the country together.
In September of 2023 Zach and Sara took an amazing trip to Ireland. This is where Zach asked Sara to be his forever and she very happily said yes!!! (We promise the tears in the pictures are happy tears)
In November of 2023, we adopted a dachshund named Diesel. He is the best little man!
We started some home renovations and have continued with those.
