Zack and I started dating May 28th, It was a time in our lives when we were experiencing some individual challenges, but little did we know it was all a blessing in disguise. Zack and I had been dealing with some individual hardships and I started a new job but was ready to somehow find a way to move from NC.
Zack and I had been chatting a little bit right before I had left my last job, where we met. Whenever hardships from jobs or life in general rose I would grab my journal, Bible, and my devotions book. One day, Zack and I had only been talking for about a week, a little hello and small talk here and there. He asked if we could meet up somewhere. I said sure. With a lot I had going on at the moment, I wanted to go to my comfort place⦠Tanglewood.
Instead of me thinking of easy I chose being complicated heehee oops! Zack and I walked in the hot heat and blazing sun, where I wanted us to go, when we could have easily driven there, while he was also carrying a backpack filled with water, protein drinks, snacks, blankets etc. Of course, never complained! He set up his go pro, and he sat down across from me and he opened a gray suede journal and started to read from it⦠it was a whole 4 pages very top to very bottom, filled with his handwriting, on how he feels about me, about us, and the future plans he has for us, see we love a man who plans and thinks ahead!
No talks about a white picket fence, American dream home and blah blah blah I had no idea what to say I was in awe. I worked with the elderly for 12 years and they were so gracious to share their wisdom with me.
Two things from their wisdom was their faith and when choosing who to spend your life with I always heard how my nana talked about my papa and seeing how she deeply loved and took care of him when he became older and needed more care, and how my Uncle Will talked about Aunt MaryJo, how he courted her and the wonderful marriage they all had.
