Just the Beginning for the Paul's



Zach and I met almost a year ago in an untraditional way (at least for Utah haha).

I started training a girl at my work and we hit it off. One day she looked at me and said I have a boy I want you to meet and I agreed to going on a date. I was thinking to myself this would be the last time I would let someone set me up. I met Zach up in Murray on December 3 at his best friend-Sean's sisters house...that's a mouthful. I can honestly say that I knew the first time I saw him that things would be different this time around for the better. From that day on we haven't been a part longer than the week and a half I went home to California for Christmas. Even with the 45 minute commute between us, we found a way to be together.

Zach proposed to me on February 11th at the duck pond on the BYU campus. It was funny because he was late coming to my apartment and we had planned to do something outside since it was such nice weather in February. He didn't know where to go, so I took him to the duck pond to feed the ducks and on the bench he popped the question. A guy walked by us after and asked if we were celebrating Valentine's Day early, little did he know that our lives were changing at that very moment ;)

We decided to get married on June 18th(also Nana's b-day) that way it would be easier for our families to make it. It was a beautiful day and everything I imagined my wedding to be. All my siblings and their families were able to come and go to the sealing. Zach's parent's, brother Tyler and his family, and Charlie were able to come out too after a long and adventurous drive from Colorado.

Zach and I are now living the life in Orem,Utah and loving every minute of being married and able to spend with each other.
